1. File taxes as early as possible, or wait until the last possible minute?
I do everything at the last possible minutes, so why not taxes?
2. File electronically, or mail paper forms?
Electronically, of course.
3. Prepare your own taxes, or have someone do it for you?
Well, the authorities pretty much does it for me, I just sort of glance at the numbers and check that they look allright…
4. Are you a saver or a spender?
Oh, spender, definitely.
5. Do you prefer to carry cash, or pay with plastic (credit/debit cards), or by check?
Plastic.
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. Fast food, urgh.
7. Keeping track of your money: are you more meticulous or careless about it?
Careless…
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 make sure I pay with small change next time I have a chance, but I don’t go out of my way to buy something in order to get rid of it.
9. Which form of fake money do you like better…Monopoly money or those chocolate coins covered with gold foil?
Chocolate. Mmm. 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?
Return it intact, and hope for a finder’s fee…
