Put your tax refund to work with Visa prepaid cards

With taxseason upon us (April 15th will come sooner than you think), it is time to think about expenses, deductions and the other items that need to be included in your family's timely filing. After all the documents and receipts have been collated and filed, hopefully a refund will be in your cards. Which leaves many of us to the question, what will you do with that refund?
A great option to control spending all of your refund (or more than your refund) is a Visa Prepaid card. With a Visa Prepaid card, you can't overspend. Your limit is set. There is no more "a few more shoes, purses or jeans are ok and I'll pay it off next month.” The pre-determined amount of money can make you more conscious of your spending habits.
Personally, I like Visa Prepaid cards as a way to plan out my spending. I notice with a Visa Prepaid card that I watch sales to maximize my card. I know that once my amount is depleted that I can't spend. True, I might buy items that aren't typical purchases, but I think about the purchase. There are no impulse purchases or blind spending. Most importantly, I'm not racking up debt on a credit card.Using a Visa Prepaid card is like buying with cash, but with more security and payment options. From online to my local grocery store, this card is a great way to pay.
Adding your tax refund to a Visa Prepaid card is simple and easy. Did you know that a Visa Prepaid card can get your refund to you faster than a check? At stores or online, you will be on your way to putting your refund to good use. Plus, if your Visa Prepaid card is lost or stolen, it can be replaced.

  2. I used to use prepaid cards when I first moved out on my own. I had one for each spending category - to help me learn how to budget. When the grocery budget card was empty - it was top ramen until the end of the month, lol.
