Help me decide what to do with my $$$
Okay well i'll be getting around $1300 to $1400 back from my income tax return and I have a few choices as to what to do with it.
#1. Pay off my debt. I purchased a new laptop in december and I owe about $1700. But I have 2 years no interest to pay it off so kinda 50-50 on this choice.
#2. Fix my some minor things on my truck. I need to replace the right fender with an OEM one because the aftermarket one fits like crap! Also, purchase a new front bumper. Maybe replace the shocks cause they're pretty worn out. Do a little dress up to the front end with a billet grille and some clear headlights. This choice isn't a must, but would make the truck look and handle better.
#3 Fix my car. I wrecked my prelude some months back and it needs alot of work. Needs front and rear crossmembers,Front and rear bumpers, one wheel, pull the frame (will do all this on my own so no labor worries). Pretty much with this choice I would use all the money to fix the car as much as possible. I really do miss her and this one is probably the choice i'm leaning more twards.
#4 Save the money and put it the bank for emergency use.
So guys/girls help me decide what I should cause I'm really not sure what route to go.

Call ING Direct and figure out what account will yield the most interest for the next two years, then ignore it until you need to pay off the laptop. When the time comes, you'll be relieved to be able to cover the whole thing at once.
Cars are a money pit. If you don't have a ton of cash, don't spend it on cars.
