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 -

After India f'ed up Spring 09 production to the tune of losing 75% of sales...I had to bring shirt production back to the U.S. My new motto is "low margin is better than no margin." Pants and jackets have to be done in India, with a trusted supplier, because there is no U.S. manufacturing option. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1210905562.jpg |
How did I miss those? The shirts look great!
|
Seriously, Shaun, those shirts rock! Can I check out your lineup (I wear a medium)?
I am a lucky SOB that gets a check...going to put it towards my trip to SE Asia... |

I was reading someplace that the only things still made in the US are guns and hookers. So now you know how I'm going to spend mine.
If I get one... |

Shaun - do you have an on-line store?
|
We don't, not allowed to, but we are in Z'Baby and Babesta in the City (also just got into Apple Seeds on W25th) as well as online at
http://www.maxandmaudes.com/little-traveler.htm and and a few others I can't remember now. they have Radu's RSR and Nicolas's Carrera6, Gurney and Stewart T's. I want to do a run of the RSR for adults, just haven't had time. |
Thanks.
|
You're all welcome.
|

My check is stimulating new brakes for my car.
|
our purchases are what they are but it's helping to pay for:
bedroom furniture (had same cheap stuff for a LONG time), batteries for the 911 trunk carpet for the 911 alignment for the 911 deck on rear of house lord knows what else. |
A much needed vacation.
And many thanks to those who contributed so that I could receive. :D |
