Pay off of debt and investing. Pretty much what I'm supposed to do. However, my wife (the financial one in the family) has promised me that we can buy a new TV or table saw when we get the last car paid off (by the end of the year). The only catch is I have to choose one and we also have to save up enough to pay cash for it.
I pay my mortgage, I don't have balances on my credit cards, my vehicles are 10 years old and paid for, I have a good 401K, savings account and am saving my money for my kids education.
TAKE MY CHECK AND APPLY IT TO THE NATIONAL DEBT SO ALL OUR CHILDREN CAN HAVE A FUTURE IN THE US!!!!
Your check wouldn't be a drop in the bucket, Jeff, by time the government bought 7 toilet seats or hammers, it would be gone. You could make better use of it than the gov.
Cant go to Walmart… too much cash to the Chinese there.
No computers.. money goes overseas too.
No toys for the kids.. money goes to foreigners too…
Beer is made in the US.. but I don't drink.
Guess I will put it away so it can earn some interest. This government is so foolish. This effort is more like trying to buy votes than stimulate an economy. I won't be fooled.
Billions in corporate welfare and I'm going to save the economy by them giving me back my money…or more to the point borrowing it from my grand kids. And we keep voting for these idiots.
DannyBoy You don't have to claim the check on your 2008 taxes. A little more money in your pocket.
From the IRS Website…..
Q. Is my Stimulus Payment taxable?
A. No. You will not owe tax on your payment when you file your 2008 federal income tax return. But you should keep a copy of the IRS letter you receive later this year listing the amount of your payment.
My tax return just showed up yesterday, and today there is a nice new 8 inch jointer headed this way. Sadly a chunk of my cash is now headed to china. Of course the money I make off this jointer will hopefully be spent stateside.
well i wish i had a tax refund to spend. but then again I'd probably pay for it in the long run, sigh!
