What Will You Do With Your Stimulus Check?
 

As the poll says . . . I am curious about what people plan to do with the money. I forgot to add a fifth option (I'm not getting a check), sorry.

Income Redistribution Check?

I take the fifth (option). What the heck is a stimulus check. Nothing of a sexual nature, is it??

You forgot an option for those who won't get one.

My mechanic is currently sucking the stimulus check into his pocket...

I'm not getting one.

I spent mine on gas (not kidding)

Yes, I messed up. That would be my option too.

US govt is sending checks to most taxpayers, in hopes of boosting consumer spending and helping the economy. People with incomes above a certain level ($250K/yr I think?) or who lack a social security number do not get the money. The total being sent out is something like $100BN (lost track of the exact details). This was done during the last recession also. Opinions differ on how effective or wise a step this is. My personal opinion is it is a terrible idea. But President and both parties in Congress felt otherwise.

Bought my wife a cheap Compaq Presario and will spend the rest (+) more traveling to San Diego for the US Open, second week of June. Putting it all back into the economy.

I'm paying my Arizona vehicle licensing taxes with my tax rebate. I want to make it a point to always do the opposite of what the gov't. wants me to do.

I'm still waiting. I'm sure the IRS won't forget me. I've been a great customer.

No check for me. I will take the fifth option.

I put some new kitchen flooring I laid myself on a CC. I was gonna use my tax refund to pay it, but that's gone to just live. I'll try again with the new check even tho it won't be as much. I was gonna get a couple slabs of marble for the counter top, but I guess that will wait. Going on over 2 years now remodeling the kitchen. The money just isn't there to spend. Some damn bill always get in the way.

I made 17K last year as a contractor on sales of 50K. I spent 15K on the house payment. That left me with a buck and a half for everything else. Sure glad the wife has a job or we'd have no heat or electricity.

In better times I could sell 150K and do it all myself. I'll never see those times again in my life.

A couple hundred bucks for "stimulus" is a total joke. If you get the max, maybe you could do a vacation or something fun. My joint return won't get much back in this deal.

Not getting one. Spending $25K on hard wood floors with post tax money, does that count as "economic stimulus"? Effing government.

Stimulus check? WTF? :confused:



BTW, you're welcome.

How about - Don't get one -

Used half of mine for Krups Beertender for the garage....money well spent! :)
