Stimulus Spending
Friday, May 2nd, 2008 - 3:55pm
Just checked my bank account and I have an extra $429 from Uncle Sam to do with as I please. Part of me says I should be responsible and pay off a chink of my eye surgery. The gamer part says, I should get a new video card, and the music geek says, Guitar Amp!!! Guitar AMP!
So many choices. I will probably just use it to pay for carpet for my new basement bedroom.
What, if any, are your plans for the extra cash coming your way?

Mine is helping offset the money Uncle Sam thinks I should've been paying him throughout '07.

I'm taking advantage of those price cuts Intel just made on quad-core processors and building my computer into a tiny God again. I'll probably grab a 9800 graphics card too, while I'm at it. PC gaming may be dying, but the computer nerd in me isn't going anywhere.

A 9800 is so 2006. Wait, you're talking Nvidia, not ATI, right ? Those damn model numbers will drive me crazy one day.

I have no idea what I'm doing with my tax rebate or the stimulus check. I pretty much buy everything I want throughout the year. I guess I'll make sure to put aside money so that I can rationalize buying a 3g iPhone or the LG Vu.

I'm using the cash to pay for moving to another city in case I get laid off and can't find a job locally.
Stimulate that Mr. Bush.

I'll be using it to help pay off my car so I can afford to pay rent in Chicago.

Let see, I had to pay IRS additional $1200 this year. So unless they sending me $1800 back... I'll be putting $600(?) back into budget.

I had plans to spend it on a new gear for my car, that is untill my $1000.00 traffic stop on the way to work this morning.

How's that LASIK outcome, by the way? I suppose your eyes still feel dry at times, but other than that, everythings should be peachy, no? Do share!

My insurance card expired and i never noticed it (we moved and I forgot to update the address so i never got the renewal 100% stupid on my part).
No seatbelt.
No mufflers (I run strait pipes off my headers.
Window tint on front windows.
Illegal suspension set up.
Tires are not DOT approved.
I decided to take the track `stang to work today...
I can't complain it is 100% my fault just sucks.
No but I should get those!
It would be better than upgrading my 4.10 ratio rear-end to the 4.55 I want.

The $1200 is just sitting in my savings account. You have no idea how difficult it is not to spend it. I have to keep reminding myself to save it so we can put a down payment on a house soon!

I wasn't eligible, since I was still being claimed on my parent's tax returns for last year. No extra monies for me.

I think it's going to go towards stimulating the pumps at our gas stations to fill up our cars. that $1500 bucks ought to get us through the travel season
Stimulate this ,,|,,
No, it's really going into savings, because that little bit of money isn't going to improve the economy one bit.
