Forty-three percent of Millennial taxpayers will be using their refunds to pay back holiday debt, according to a survey from Jackson Hewitt. That’s 12% above the general population. Ypulse data found paying off debt is one of Millennials’ top financial priorities, and it looks like the holidays are digging them deeper in the hole.
