This or That Tuesday - 4/15/2003
1. File taxes as early as possible, or wait until the last possible minute?
My dad does it for me very early.
2. File electronically, or mail paper forms?
This year, I had to mail forms.
3. Prepare your own taxes, or have someone do it for you?
My dad the accountant does it for me.
4. Are you a saver or a spender?
I am such a spender. I'm trying desperately to save some, though.
5. Do you prefer to carry cash, or pay with plastic (credit/debit cards), or by check?
I pay with cash. If I don't have the cash, I don't buy it. I started not carrying around my debit card too, but I stopped after I filled up the car only to realize I had NO MONEY on me to pay for it.
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 for sure. I can't even get a job in retail.
7. Keeping track of your money: are you more meticulous or careless about it?
My dad forces me to be a little bit meticulous, if not, I'd let it all go to hell.
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?
I count out every last cent at the store. It would suck to be you if you were in a hurry and behind me in line.
9. Which form of fake money do you like better...Monopoly money or those chocolate coins covered with gold foil?
Monopoly money, especially if we were playing the game.
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'd totally keep all the money. It's a reward for having found the wallet.
