GW: Well, I don't want to pick one battle over others since there were casualty in every battle, and we must remember our fallen comrades. Each battle was treated as a matter of life and death.  But, if I have to pick one battle, I'd choose the one at Trenton, New Jersey on the day after Christmas in 1776. We did a surprise attack against the British Army comprised of soldiers from Germany.  They were partying all night on Christmas night.  When we showed up on the morning of December 26, they were still sleeping and weren't ready to fight.  We captured about 1,000 of them.  The victory was very sweet.  It was America's first decisive victory, and it helped the morale very much.  Some of our soldiers choose to stay in the army longer as a result, and more volunteers signed up after this victory.

Your tax refund might seem like new money, but in reality, it belonged to you all along. You simply overpaid on taxes, and now the government is returning your money. While you might be tempted to invest that cash in Future You -- college fund, retirement, leaky roof or the like -- I'm here to say that it's a lot more satisfying to spend the money on something awesome. Why not reward yourself with a new PC, an enormous television or even just a high-tech temperature-regulating coffee mug?

Sarah Tew/CNET For many audiophiles, the holy grail is a high-quality multiroom system. With speakers in every room, you can play music wherever you like, whenever you like. Sonos is the gold standard in multiroom audio. Equipped with a Sonos system, you can play the same or different audio in every room from streaming services or your personal collection. For less than $500, the Move is a fully portable Bluetooth speaker with 10-hour runtime that's also a Sonos component. That means you can add the versatile Move to an existing Sonos network or use it as the cornerstone of a Sonos multiroom system that's handy as a portable speaker right from Day 1.

Sarah Tew/CNET There's no question that the Oculus Quest is the best overall VR headset you can buy today. With about the same resolution as the first wave of PC-tethered VR headsets like the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive but completely self-contained and wireless, the Quest is fun, easy to use and painless to set up. In fact, it's complete portable -- you can use it anywhere. While you can get the 64GB version for $399, you might want to spend an extra $100 for the 128GB version, which holds a lot more games. Unfortunately, there's a worldwide shortage of Quests right now, but perhaps they'll be back in stock by the time you get your refund check. Read our Oculus Quest review.

Stuff over $500
Experiences may be better than possessions, but the flip side is that possessions are fleeting, and stuff can be awesome. From a fully stocked arcade cabinet to a gaming PC to a 65-inch TV, these items are refund-worthy.

Experiences
I've found that the best way to spend your money is on experiences, not possessions. Experiences stimulate the mind and give you lasting memories to reflect on. Things, on the other hand, can wear out, break and disappoint you -- and you tend to stop appreciating them after a while anyway. With that in mind, here are some experiences that even your accountant might agree are a solid use of your tax refund.
