When your tax return comes in, the best way to start planning is to find something you truly rely on, like your vehicle, and make sure it\u2019s ready to carry you through 2021 and beyond. With your busy life, you\u2019ve got to stay on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are just a few ways you can use your tax refund to keep you moving.<\/p>\n\n\n
Turns out, 10% of Americans use their tax refunds on a down payment for a new car<\/a>. Making a larger down payment can unlock extra financing options like lower interest rates and lower monthly payments. You can make your money go even further by finding a reliable used vehicle. With a little research, you can be on the road in a trustworthy vehicle, at the right price, in no time.<\/p>\n\n\n Been putting off maintenance items to pay for other expenses? You’re not alone \u2014 about 20% of Americans delay maintenance on their vehicles<\/a>. Now that you\u2019ve got your tax refund, it\u2019s time to talk about making your ride a little safer and more reliable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can start with the basics \u2014 a simple tune-up with a licensed mechanic will help your car keep running more efficiently. It can even extend the life of your car and prevent bigger repairs down the road. Another (potentially) large expense that you should think about is buying new tires. Because new tires provide better traction, they enhance your safety by helping you stop properly in bad weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Other commonly delayed maintenance items that support your safety include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n With a small investment now, while you have the cash, you could potentially save yourself a lot of money down the road.<\/p>\n\n\n Investing in car insurance<\/a> is also another smart use of tax return dollars that can help you save more money and keep you protected throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’re involved in an accident, car insurance can help you prevent paying large, out-of-pocket repair and medical bills. It can also help cover costs of weather damages or losses due to theft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Want to get ahead? Making a larger down payment up front can help reduce your monthly payment.
