How will you spend it?

[pyxichick]

Gave some of it to the Trust for Public Land, and some of it will go toward joining a CSA. The rest will help pay off my BLUE

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.

I am with you on that one. all we paid into it and what we are getting back doesn't really make me feel like spending it. But we are going to get a painting of our newer cat Aki from thhis wonderful artist who has done a painting of all our cats. Aki is the newest (3 years) and doesn't have one yet. Here is he's web site he is wonderful! http://www.georgwilliams.com/index.htm

Now how did you get it in your bank account automatically like that. I don't remember anyone giveing me that option.

If you did a direct deposit for your tax refund, you'll get this money the same way. If you got a paper check, you'll have to wait longer.

We're not getting it either. I don't want to get political, and have had enough ranting for today , but it just seems so ill advised to be giving money back when the economy is in the crapper. Our schools in CA are getting funding cut AGAIN. I hope I am wrong. I'm no economist. But the priorities seem "off".

(And really, I am not bitter because we don't get the $. In fact we are getting a pretty hefty tax refund after over paying estimated tax and making less $ than our estimates for 2 years in a row. That money is going to reduce our debt. )

We need to bring back industry and manufacturing jobs if we really want to boost our economy.

Hey! You're not supposed to save it, or use it for something practical like paying bills! You're supposed to spend it on stuff! Preferably American made stuff! We all need more stuff!

Nice pic, Snap!

Gotta love Seattle! (that pic is down the street from where I work)

Yesterday I saw on Yahoo that the rebates would start going out that day. I checked my account and there it was! I immediately went to my AmEx account and put it towards the card. Easy come, easy go.

What if you didn't get a refund but filed your taxs electronically is that the same? No? Also what if you file jointly? and your ss are different do they send it to you depending on who's ss comes first?

Me three. Handing out these checks is going to increase our national debt by how much? Since when is increasing the national debt good for the economy?

[HillSlugger]

I'm not getting one. Go stimulate the economy for me!
