1. File taxes as early as possible, or wait until the last possible minute?
My parents still handle mine
2. File electronically, or mail paper forms?
Paper Forms
3. Prepare your own taxes, or have someone do it for you?
My parents have someone do theirs because of our business
4. Are you a saver or a spender?
I would like to save but I normally don’t have enough to…. I do spend more than I should though
5. Do you prefer to carry cash, or pay with plastic (credit/debit cards), or by check?
Normally everything goes into my checking account and I use the “credit card” attached to my account.
6. You’re broke and desperately need a job, but the only places that are hiring are retail or fast food places. Which would you pick?
Retail… That is where I have spent my whole life working… I vowed to never work food and so far I have been able to keep that vow. I can pick up clothes… but something about all the grease just makes me squeemish.
7. Keeping track of your money: are you more meticulous or careless about it?
Me and Microsoft Money get together daily for a review of how broke I am!
8. What do you do if you find yourself with a lot of change weighing down your purse/pocket/wallet? Do you try to spend it to *get rid of it*, or do you put it in a jar or a piggy bank?
If they are quarters I save them somewhere for laundery… otherwise they go in a piggy bank.
9. Which form of fake money do you like better…Monopoly money or those chocolate coins covered with gold foil?
I am a woman!!! Chocolate!!!!
10. Thought-provoking question of the week: You find a wallet containing $5,000 in cash, as well as several credit cards and the owner’s drivers’ license. Your rent is due tomorrow and you’re short $200. Do you take the money (some or all of it) and mail back the wallet anonymously…or do you return the wallet with all contents intact?
I return the wallet with everything in it… but I deliver it personally secretly hoping for a little reward…
