    How will you spend it?

    Hurray for $600 that landed in my bank account this morning from the economic stimulus. Not sure how much it will help the economy, but it will definitely help pay off the car loan and maybe finance a bike part or two.

    How will you spend your check?

    LOL, I was hoping mine would be there when I checked my balance this morning...but nothing yet.

    Mine is going to pay for the moustache handlebar conversion on my bike (I have gathered all the parts, now I just gotta pay for the labor). The rest will go into the ol' IRA.

    Thank you for my belly laugh of the day


    I'm spending it on race travel. Or, along the lines of Zen, I could just buy a big bag of very high quality marijuana.

    Zen, thanks for the chuckle..loved it.. As far as the check, not sure I will even see it. Goes into DH's account and doubt he will even tell me if it ever made it there or not. We should split it 50/50 but I know that ain't gonna happen..he's a greedy B@&T#D.

    It's going into my savings account so I can travel to Kentucky for Ironman Kentucky, August 2008!

    The trip is going to cost me $2,000 easy and I don't have but $300 saved up.

    We're not sure we are going to get it. We are borderline for the cut-off, so if we get it, it'll be a bit of a surprise.

    Ironically, if we do get it, it's going towards our tax bill for last year!

    It's going into the "new bike-someday" fund.
    Heaven forbid I should actually save it.

    Can I have some economic stiumulus please?



    Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
    "I will try again tomorrow".

    Only if your economy is crappy.

    I'm with you there. We're not getting the FULL amount as a married couple but we're getting SOME back but we paid SO much for last year's taxes that it's not exactly stimulating our bank account.

    We just made an appointment to have another 12 inches of insulation blown into our attic. I suppose we'll use it to help pay for that.
    It's certainly not enough for the new windows the house needs!
