We get a big one! :)
1. Bills -Paying off some debt. 2. Food for the family - filling our freezer with beef - we have a friend about to butcher, and grocery store meat is gross. 3. vacation? Maybe a little camping trip. 4. Paying off bribes - My son is asking for a wii or playstation for him to be on the swim team this summer. |

I may not even get one, because Social Security decided that my birthdate had managed to magically change itself in the past year. My taxes were rejected, so
I'll be resubmitting them again tonight. My roommate submitted my taxes for me the first time around, because she enjoys it in her own little queer OCD
way, but she used an e-mail address she never checks, so I didn't even realize that it had been rejected until recently. She says that I'll still get
it, because my first attempt was before the deadline, but I'm not so sure.

I'm probably just going to put it into my Roth IRA, so that when the economy is crap because of them giving out all this money, I'll have something to
eat some bread with.

Listen, peeps, get with the program. It is your duty, as an American, to stimulate the economy with this check. You are supposed to SPEND it.
Spend it on something new.
Using it to pay for something that you already bought won't stimulate the economy. Saving it to buy something later won't stimulate the economy. Using it to pay taxes won't stimulate the economy. Using it to buy food or gas won't stimulate the economy. |

Like I posted in the other thread, using it to pay off stupid credit card DEBT!!
I was gonna use it to buy a new MAC but then I'd feel bad about it later on knowing it could have gone to better use.

The federal government is sending each and every one of us a $600 rebate. If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, the money will go to China. If we spend it on
gasoline it will go to the Arabs. If we purchase a computer it will go to India. If we purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras, and
Guatemala. If we purchase a good car it will go to Japan. If we purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan and none of it will help the American economy. The
only way to keep that money here at home is to buy beer, since these are the only product still produced in the US.
OK, so I got that in an email, but beer...yum.... |

a home seems more and more out of reach to the average young person every day.
