Consumer Sundays: Making Work Pay tax credit

Make your Making Work Pay tax credit work for you, recommends Eileen Ambrose in her Sunday column.

Sure, it's not a ton of money --- $15 per week --- but our smart colleague Dave Zeiler at Apple a Day plans to sock away that extra cash by increasing his 401(k) contribution.

Eileen offers some great ideas ...

... including investing in yourself by taking a class at a community college. I bet you could also take continuing education classes at local colleges and universities to expand your skills to either argue for a raise or try to get a side hustle -- an extra gig to bring in some more money or expand your resume.

Are you going to do anything special with your tax credit?
