Thank you for this contest. My money goals are really important to me. I had a surprise debt to the IRS 3 years after I moved to Florida in 2015 it was $3000. Took a huge chunk away from me. With my refund this year I'm finally going to receive $78 !! I actually paid off the IRS yay me... As of now I am homeless with 2 part-time jobs here in Florida, #1 goal is to get my own place on my own. My 23 year old daughter just told me she's getting married. She lives in Chicago, #2 goal is to have $9000 by 2023 saved for her wedding.  I have a bunch of short term money goals as well. Baby steps. Thank you kindly. Jessica

My money goals in 2022 are to start being more responsible with my money and saving. In November of 2021 I was told I needed to have cardio thoracic surgery to remove a tumor in my lungs that was pushing against my heart and causing issues so I was out of work and I just finally was given the okay to return so my goal even more is to not only save but catch up on all my bills. As much as I would love to travel I’d also love to be able to get my own place and be debt free. 

Hello!

 My Money goal for 2022 is to be able to help my fiancé buy a house for our five children including a 2 year old autistic son who had a very traumatic birth in which he was diagnosed with a brain injury  acquiring a lot of therapy so we want to move somewhere where our children are safe and have all the room to run around and be kids. 

My 2022 goals are to help build a better community project for teens more positive things they really like so they have more options then turning to drugs and theft they need something to occupi their minds 

My money goals for 2022 is to try and make better use of my credit and get a better understanding of how the credit systems works.

Hello !

my 2022 money goals is to finally understanding the meaning to saving … sometimes it’s every hard in saving money I look back and think of how much money I could have saved and all the money I spent on unnecessary things. This year is about saving and also I want to start my business and invest in A lot of things also help a lot of people and give back. My 2022 money goal is to save and build 

Hi! Thank you for this opportunity to express my money goal for 2022!! It is new beginnings In pursuing a Career in real estate, for me.  In finding others new beginnings, in their new lifestyles in a new place.   I would like to start my first seller(s), who sign with me, to enjoy a full deluxe luncheon at the Beechwood Inn, with me.    A time to experience a better life: and LIVE WELL BY SHARING OUR WEALTH with each other and enjoy being together.

My goal for 2022 is to increase my savings.

My goal is to pay off my credit card debt. It's not much but I was really careless with my spending in the last few months of 2021 and now it's racked up higher than it's ever been. Super random but, I want/need to pay it off because I am going to be enlisting in the Air Force and have to have all of my financials in order so that I am not getting charged any interest while at BMT. I also want to focus on only using my credit card for purchases where I'll earn the 5% cash back that the card has, and use my normal debit card for purchases that would only be 1% cash back because it doesn't make much of a difference. 

Well let me start by wishing everyone a happy new years!!! 🥳 My resolutions list for this year is a lot longer than I'd imagine it would be...My goals for 2022 includes the following;

1- Going back to school for my HSDS following up with college.. I'm thinking of attending Alverno College in Wisconsin 

2- Increase my income by times three, working as a home caregiver, I've been getting paid really great for being a Frontline worker. Not to mention I plan on picking up a Work From Home job position as soon I get done with school

3- Get my children back into my life someway/somehow.. Unfortunately I lost my two kids in the system last year, they were separated from each other, and the individuals who decided to claim custody of them has been purposely keeping me away from them in fear of me filing them on my 2021 tax return. Technically they're not supposed to file either, I just want to be apart of them anyway I can possibly be, so paying these people just to see them is worth it. But I will be going downtown to get visitation rights hopefully.

4- Stay away from negative energy vampires, Leave the fake love with them and move on, Understand my worth, how much I can actually bring into this world, and practice way more self-love than usual.

5- Last but definitely not the least... Show my haters and my fans that I am capable of doing the absolute impossible.. but I'm choosing to do whatever is important first.

Sorry if I made a long paragraph...🤗🤩💗🥳☺️

This is a wonderful product that helped me find the maximum return amount for me and my family.

My goal this year is to save enough money to take my girls on a cruise and also pay off all my credit cards.

My goal is to get my kids through college without incurring any debt.

We have had many struggles financially not just because of COVID but many unfortunate events almost cost is our home. We have 3 wonderful children who have no idea what mom and dad do to provide. After both of us finding ourselves unemployed due and with out childcare in 2020, we vowed 2021 would be better. It was but it came with a lot of work and no fun. The kid's have had their normal turned upside down with the back and forth of e learning/COVID restrictions etc. I would use the $100 to do something fun for our kids.... Whatever they picked. 🥰

My 2022 goals are to stick to our budget the best we can. I have started an emergency account (lesson learned from not having in 2020), also investing in my IRA more than the minimum. I am working closely with our teenager to teach her responsibility with money as well of the value of working for the things you want and the difference in want and need. I have started investing for the kids in my Acorns acct. I have to say overall that one of my biggest financial goals for 2022 is to not allow financial matters steal our joy. 

My goal is to save as much each month as possible. I'd like to stick to my budget and only buy things that I really need, reduce ordering food, and save for a house.

My goals are gunna get better cuz this economy and this government that's corrupting and controlling the human race one step at a time.. Besides that  getting a real home and staying above 0. 

Hello Everyone!

My money goals for this year included, for one, just setting some goals! This would require us to do better with making a budget and sticking to it every month. So this post is helping in more ways than one! Once we do that, I would like to:

1. Put money towards some repairs on our new home like new windows so we can control the climate inside our home during the extreme weather.

2. Put some money to the side for our 10th-grade son with ADHD, who has been struggling in school for the past few years but wants to attend college.

3. Purchase a new car, because we have two old vans that are sucking us bone dry in repairs, and as educators in a different county, then we live, it's important for us to have reliable transportation.

4. Be able to fund me and my Husband to obtain our Master's Degrees (his in Physical Health and Education) and (mine in Social Work)

By setting money goals, it is my hope that we will also be able to give more to others in need!

Covid free vacations😎

I plan to fix up my home and car and save the rest til I graduate and invest in becoming a business owner!

My money goal for this year is to invest the tax refund in an S&P 500 ETF and grow that investment over the coming years to use for early retirement. Been trying to beat the S & P 500 for many years, and while we did do it in a few years, we were often bested. If you can't beat em, join em.

Thank you so much for this opportunity.  My money goals are helping for the expense of my father's headstone.  It had been a very, very rough 6 months. We lost our Dad in June  then lost our 3 month old great nephew in Nov. He was born with CHF. Then 2 days after Thanksgiving, I was pushed off a high porch and it busted my head open and had to have stitches. On December 10 had to be rushed back to the hospital as it started bleeding and wouldn't stop.  Turned out I had a massive hematoma and my skin was becoming necrotic. So horrible. So now I have lost my job of 5 years. So this can help with many goals. Sorry for all the bad things.  I am still here and strong as ever as my faith never falters and things like these just make me a stronger person. Thanks

My goals for 2021 are to start a college fund for our grandson and to cut all unnecessary expenses to prepare for retirement in the next 3-4 years.

The pandemic has allowed me time to learn how to invest in myself, as selfish as it sounds. Being a decade behind the average first-time buyer age in our state, I can finally say that my husband and I are comfortable entering the housing market. I wouldn't be where I am at without setting small, attainable goals and will continue to do so. It has taken a lot of sacrifice, time, and effort; especially with the juggle of saving for a down payment on a home and paying towards student loans. Any extra money coming in will be used towards the aforementioned.

My money goals this year have me very excited. I am going to purchase a home this year and finally have plenty of time to spend with my kids in our very own home. I have a 9 year old son and over 2 years ago a beautiful little blond girl came into my life and was supposed to be for one night but here we are. She had been in  situations in her short little life that no one should ever have to and endured so much pain and abuse almost took her life. Although it was a hard time in my life god sent this little angel to me and I plan to forever keep the promise I made her that no one will ever hurt her again and that I’ll never leave her. We are not blood related however she is 100% my daughter and After a long battle in court to keep her with me and away from all the bad things and people she had came from , it’s time now I keep keep the promises I made and save money to legally adopt her and be her mommy forever 

Hi everyone, my name is Daniel clearly and my money goals are quite simple I suppose. I, myself, do not wish to be rich nor have the best money can buy. Instead, I would rather have the things I need like enough to pay my bill, help to send my kids to college, gas to get them to school and back, get myself to work and back, provide what we need in order to have a "comfortable" lifestyle. I don't want to become so consumed by my desire for financial gain that I lose those things that make my life worth living. I have seen the destruction brought upon by financial lust and the constant want for more and more. The lose of sleep, the lose of time to be a father or a husband, brother, a friend. So, with that being said, my goal is to be satisfied with the blessings I have every day when I wake up to the smiling faces of my family, knowing in my heart that while we may not be rich we have what we need, Eachother! 

Big year with long term commitment to financial success paying off - hope to own my home outright by Christmas - this sets us up for Retirement in 4 years. Nice to long term goals coming to fruition.

My 2022 goals are to refinance my Mortgage and pay off all my credit card debts I've incurred over the last year or so. 

With the medical issues my wife and I are facing, our financial goal this year are to work to pay off debt and become financially secure by the end of the year.

Hello I don’t have much to say . My money goal is just to save and have enough for my daughters tombstone. She was born 11/11/2020 & passed away on 02/08/2021 at only 3 months old 

I seriously have plans to furnish my new home and fix my car. Then continue to save money til I accumulate a business license, and proceed to reach my goal of becoming a proud owner of my own salon. 

I would like to give more this year to charity.  The more you give the more comes back.

My money goal for 2022 is to get out of debt!

My spouse and I are both retired and have never been anywhere tropical. That is our goal this year. We are on a great path to financial security so it's time for us to be pampered just this once. 

Thank you Turbo Tax for being so easy to use. Youve been my go to for 20+ years now.

My money goals for 2022 is to get stabilized again after the death of my wife in 2021.  I had paid off all my credit cards prior to the end of 2020 and retired.  Everything was looking great until I had to deal with the extra expenses.  I'm too old to keep going back to start over again.  

My money goal for 2022 is to save enough cash to afford to take my wife on a belated honeymoon to Europe! We married last year in a very small COVID-safe ceremoney at the local courthouse as we couldnt afford to spend a lot of money on a traditional wedding.  I hope we can celebrate our 1 year anniversary while also honeymooning to make the trip extra special.  We have planned to spend $5000 on air fare and lodgings and want to have another $2000 in spending money.  So far we have saved $3800 so we're just over halfway to our goal of $7000!!

I would like to be back in the 600 club close to 700. I would like to have all my credit cards down by 30% to not damage my credit scores. And I would love to at least pay off three student loans this year.

I've been using Mint to track my investments, spending, and net worth for several years.  Last year I retired so income has changed substantially.  Now, we have changed focus and the new spending charts are really helping.  

My goals for this year are to focus on spending and track investments closely to maximize net worth.  While the stock market hasn't helped, I'm glad to have Mint to help me keep track of every dollar.  

My goal is to build a deck on the rear of my new hillside home so that i can have a space to host outside cookout parties.

I am looking to start my own business as to where we recruit young adults and give them an opportunity  to learn and earn get more out working instead of the streets and jail

Turbo Tax again in 2023

With the pandemic, and a change in careers, my 2022 financial goals look a lot different than they may have a couple years ago. I'm currently in between careers, working as an Uber Eats delivery driver, and this is my first year filing taxes as a "self-employed" contractor. Although Turbo Tax makes doing taxes easy for me, I've learned I need to track my business expenses like gas and other vehicle expenses. I also want to start putting aside a third of my income to save for tax time. This will help set me up for success as a future real estate agent next year when I do my taxes!

After looking through my bank statements for tax purposes, I also want to start spending my money more intentionally. I want to allocate portions of my spendings towards different goals: savings, self-care, entertainment, and reoccurring bills. If i do this, and stick to it, I'll be in a much better position next year, and have built more confidence by sticking to my plan! Thanks for considering me. My main intention for entering this was because I heard somewhere that if you write down your goals, the chances of your actually achieving them increases by a lot!

My refund is being used to support living cost for my children. 

I would like to have more success in saving for a new car, or at least a newer used car.  My car is 19 years old.  

My money goals this year are to build my savings so that I can take that dream vacation in 2023!

My goals for 2022 is to save enough money to be able to buy our very own first family home and a second vehicle.

my money goals for 2022 are to try to get own home but it's hard for me cause I'm behind on child support so I don't get my income taxes.  They take it all away.  So with thos contest if I'm selected I'm gon.a use it on my grandson.  I pray 🙏 and hope I win but if I don't whomever does win congrats in advance.  Also thank you in advance if I do win.  Good luck to everyone. 

can you help me out im broke and trusted turbo tax for the first time ever the money was taken from my account and now i am stuck in a loop of the last three steps of the deluxe edition. i put my direct deposit info and it will not let me complete the second step of and wont let me start the third step. this is by far a scam kinda way... and not fair especially when people need to get there taxes done and dont have money to lose like that. email me [email address removed]

My money goals are simple - win the lottery!

Being retired taxes are getting confusing with the medical. I would like to see it simplified more.

My goals for 2022 are to keep my spending on track with my plan and help my children with any large expenses.

We've always been savers and that includes during our retirement years. Covid-19 put a damper on travel plans the past two years, so we did some needed home repairs and upgrades. We do plan to travel in 2022. We don't live lavishly but we are comfortable. Our financial plan takes into account market fluctuations, so we'll continue with our plan.

My money goals for 2022 is to invest even more money in the stock market than I already do now!

My husband has worked hard at a job for 13 years and was just let go. I want to be able to budget this year so that he can  study to do what he really wants for the first time in his life and without worrying.

We lost my mother and his aunt last year all while having a new baby and him in between having two surgeries, so things were emotionally and financially taxing on everyone. Regardless, my inlaws have been supportive and amazing and we have received a wonderful amount of love from a church that we wish to give back to.

We want to make sure that our now 1yo and almost 9yo are safe, happy, and healthy. We've just pulled the oldest out of public school for being bullied and nothing being done-I don't think I realized how expensive schooling materials would be 😂 wish us luck! 

my 2022 money goals are to bring my savings to $5000, and my checking to $500 while paying down and not incurring any new credit card debt. I am trying to also set aside $3000 for travel. I do not have a regular income so I use apps to help me get by. I have not been able to meat these goals over the past two years and have been living less than paycheck to paycheck.  

My 2022 Money GOALS 

• Going to Collage in Spring to study science and business entrepreneurship. 
• Start improving my Credit Score by applying for a secured card. 
• Start a online e commerce store 
• Start making a model for an app to include the online store 
• Try to save more money in IRA with gold 
• NEVER EVER STOP TRYING.
• THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE SWEEPSTAKES SUPER EXCITING. I HOPE I WIN AND GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE ELSE. 

Hello,

I just want to start with I love Turbo Tax.  I used to use H&R Block and didnt like it.  The switch saved me so much more money.  With my financial situation and always owing taxes, I would really love to pay off all my debts this year and save for a home.  I am so tired of renting. Debt free sound great.

My money goal is for me and my husband to take our 37th anniversary on a cruise in May. every year we keep saying we are going to take a cruise for our anniversary and never do. a money matter always comes up.

My financial  goals for 2022 are somewhat consist  of a whole life change! I went through a very dark phase in my life the last past 5 years! My husband out of no where decided he no longer wanted the family we had created over the 10 years we had been together so he left me and my two daughters and mine and his son and created another family shortly after! It crushed me and our childrrn! So not sure what to do or where to go in life I face planted and lost my way and sometime in the mix I found someone who was evil and had no good intentions! The next 3 years spent with him I had lost the little I had left including my children and myself! All because I trusted him and unknowing the disaster it was gonna bring to my family started using drugs on his instructions. If i had known in those few years what all was gonna come of it I would of never started down that path of addiction! After losing it all I had nothing else and then the realization sank in and the only way to come out of it was to get rid of what caused the cioas to begon with and then to get sober and  start to rebuild my life and get my children home! So now that im sober im gonna begin working on that new life and custody of my children this year is the year I get my life back.

I am planning on using my refund to upgrade my current dug-well and to reduce my solar-energy loan by two-thirds.  My tax dollars are at work for a more meaningful future. 

Definitely looking at making some changes to my 401K contributions and retirement planning. Hope to have a financial advisor in the next few months to start working on this. I'm not in a hurry to retire, but would like peace of mind knowing that I'm doing all I can now to be ready when that time comes!

My goals this year are simple. I am trying to save money for home repairs. I need to replace my a/c unit soon. This is an absolute necessity in Texas. Once that is completed, I will work on replacing my windows. These are both large expenses. It will take a lot of budgeting to make it happen.

Hi everyone! I would just like to start off by saying that 2021’  must of been THE worst year for myself as of yet..... My younger sister passed away June 10th 2021’ from battling lung cancer that spread literally just about everywhere else in a short time span of only a year and half roughly. We were only 18 months apart in age. She passed away in the hospital at the age of 33 years old , leaving behind a 12 year old daughter and a 2 1/2 year old son. My sister was and is really my only close/best friend in this life. As time moves on and you grow up into adulthood, losing touch with most of the people whom at one point in time or another I once considered a good friend.... But my sister was always there for me, to listen, to laugh, to seek advice from and share memories together as we are now adults with children of our own. Even writing this now , I’m choking back a barrage of tears welling up —- Insistent on falling down my sullen face. I would give anything to see her smiling face one last moment. If anyone has ever lost someone close to them from the monstrous, wreak havocs of terminal cancer will tell you... My sister was hardly recognizable while she had her last stay in the Hospital. This once bubbly, beautiful soul of who and what she was , was literally a shell of my former sister and best friend. In conclusion, after my enormous rant lol was to say that one of my biggest regrets is not having a vehicle to be able to spend those last 18 months of her very short life to travel the hour to her and the hour back.

So my money goal(s) for 2022’ is to save up enough to finally be able to buy myself a decent, reliable vehicle and regain my independence back after almost 5 years without a car now. Long story short .... 2 1/2-3 years ago I finally got out of a verbally, emotionally abusive, controlling marriage of 13 years!! Now if only I could have made this transition much, much, earlier I may have been able to be there for my sister during her last few years on this earth as well as for my niece and nephew..... I will get my own car this year and continue to crush my goals in honor of my best friend and sister who isn’t able to be here to do the same. Because in this short existence of a lifetime, all we can really do is honor our loved ones already gone too soon and cherish the time we have now with the people we love before their gone away from us too. . . 

P.S. I apologize for the novel, lol.

I plan on using my refund to help pay for the CPA tests. Hopefully I will start passing them because I have to pay for each test I take. There is 4 different tests to take. If you fail, you have to pay to take the test again.

My 2022 Money goal is to be more organized managing my money.  Being done with grad school and working a stable job I want to plan ahead.  Now already past 30, it's not too early to pre-plan about retirement.  Graduated from school is good (and not in debt) but save for buying a house or moving to a more affordable place to live.  How much cash do I really need... to spend and not to save? I want to be smart saving money, smart to invest money and smarter to spend money! Considering all factors, my age, employment status, employment type, cost of living, state of residence, life expense, etc.  what would be the smartest thing to do at this time and place in my life.  2022 be smart with my money

My money goal of 2022 would be to learn how to invest my savings!

My 2022 goals are to actually start saving consistently whenever I receive a paycheck from my job to transfer funds to my savings account so I will have money when I encounter financial burdens or emergencies. I would like to save to at least have $5000 in my savings account. 

My goal is to plan out financials for business opportunities and growth

My money goals are simple because I am retired on a very limited income and I have a rotting house to repair. I need to clear $100,000. If I chose to eat and continue paying bills I will need to save $40,000 or more and invest wisely to almost triple the funds. The key now is for Turbotax to truly get me the biggest refund that I am entitled to so I can add to the investments. Those methods combined with a no-thrills, no-fun lifestyle might just work. I hope.

I hope to settle-down financially and start investing in various areas including retirement, savings, and stocks. 

Ultimately, I'd like to end the year feeling like I learned about more money growth opportunities and financial security. 

2022 Will be a outstanding year as the records will be maintained in Quicken and Turbo Tax will make tax filing soo easy! 

Thanks Turbo Tax for making filing my taxes a little easier. My goals for the year since I retired from the medical field is to take my dream vacation to Hawaii. I have been working all my life and even though I loved the medical field, I'm excited to not have to be on someone else's time clock. Hawaii, here I come! 🙂 

We are working through our technology expenses and tightening up where we can. We recently opted out of signing on with another cable service when our current fiber optic provider ceased providing television services. We are going to change our cell plan next. Then we will work on the extra services we pay for like grocery delivery and curbside recycling.  We are going to cut our work hours in the next year so we will have more time to do some things we pay someone else to do right now.

I am finally breaking free of something I should have a long time ago, and right now every bit helps and is a step in a much better direction. Growing a little more everyday 🌱

My financial goals for 2022 is to make smarter decisions like saving and not spending money unnecessarily. I've been having to take more days off from work due to my daughter being diagnosed with ADHD last month and it's interfering with with her behavior in school. I can definitely use $100 right now to be completely honest 

Good evening, my hopes for my financial future 2022. 

Id like to become debt free, then start my own business.

My husband of 20 years has recently become mentally disabled. It's been a very rough time I've had all the work load put on my shoulder taking care of our home and bills. I work more than 40hrs a week and then take care of him. I've held strong and I'm staying positive that soon I can make a living at home where I'll be able to take care of him full-time as well. That's it, good luck to everyone. Thanks for letting me share. 😊❤️
