WHAT PEOPLE ARE DOING WITH THEIR TAX RETURNS
- The good news is – more people plan to save the money from their tax returns this year than last year, and fewer people expect to use the money to go on vacation or make a major purchase, according to a survey conducted by the National Retail Federation. The bad news is – fewer people plan to use their refunds to pay down debt.
OPEN WIDE AND SAY NOTHING
- More people are withholding information from their doctors because they are afraid of that information being stolen in a data breach. Healthcare companies had more than 100 million records stolen from them in 2015

- A newspaper editorial is calling on the federal government to ease up on individuals with student loan debt. The editorial also comes out in favor of making college more affordable so that students are saddled with too much debt when they graduate.
