Have you got your check yet?
If so, what did you do with it? Or if you're still waiting for the money from the IRS, how do you plan to use it?
There are lots of options and, according to recent surveys, folks are spending their tax cash in many different ways.
One of the surveys, conducted by Sentient Decision Science in February 2013 on behalf of Cricket Wireless, found that nearly two-thirds of Americans say they will use their refunds to pay bills. That's a sharp increase from the 50 percent who last year said they would use their tax money to pay bills.
