What are you going to do with your economic stimulus check?
 

I might drop the entire amount into my IRA. Maybe I'll just spend it recklessly. I haven't decided yet.

Here's the payment schedule.

Here's the payment calculator.

I'll be getting mine direct deposited around May 2. I'll be paying off debt/moving expenses.

Buying a couch and loveseat probably.

The "commatard" filter ruined the link, so here's a redirect to it. Duck Dog, feel free to add this to the header.

Thanks.

Probably paying off a little debt then putting the rest towards a trip with the wife.

It's going into our vacation fund for a Carribean trip next year.

paying taxes with mine... By the time we get done getting raped by the govt and state, there will be nothing left....

I am not eligble for one. Glad for those who are.

Pay off the remaining balance of one of the cars and pay off a couple CC's with small balances. Redirecting those payments to them into something else. Nothing else more logical for my family.

I am using it for vacation to Disney in June. :)

Sweet....thanks for the link. I'll be getting mine May 9th and I'll be using it to pay off some bills.

Might try to build a deck

Going right in my savings... it's in desperate need of a little boost!

My "Keep America slightly more content" check will go straight to booze and pork products.....

Someone's gotta need a fridge!!!

LOL. Reminds me of Donnie Baker always trying to sell his boat.

Paying off my car loan. It will be awesome to have an extra $300 a month.

I'm not getting one...:(

Looks like I will get it direct deposited on May 9th. I have no bills to pay off, but my cheap ass will likely just put the money in the bank and not spend any of it.

Oh prolly get one of these and drop the rest in savings

I've been wanting the Glock 27 .40.

you must have big hands eh?

I'll be paying my taxes with it...

I'm giving mine to a person who doesn't pay taxes, because they obviously deserve it more than me.

ROFL:clap:

Can you take that to Congress and make them give me my money?

:LOL: I'd be glad to lend it to you for your "hunting trip" ;)

I've fired that one before, and I like the way it feels. :harumph:

I also liked my dad's old snub-nose .38 special.

:LOL: that is all that matters....I have to have the compact Glocks my hands aren't big enough for the full size ...well they are but it just doesn't feel comfortable

I'm gonna hook up with kristen for half an hour or so.

Funding a trip - to your moms butt!!! - HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually gonna use this 'stimulus' to fund our trip to Oregon.

Two words: Doggy Ramp

Either pay off some debt or tack it onto the down payment for a new place.

Hooray relocation.

That sound kinda dirty but a quick search on Urban Dictionary showed nothing.

SO I take it this is a ramp used by a dog/s of some sort?

Nothing dirty. Just a small running joke that started here:

"Throw it on the pile, I suppose."

buy gas

I am going to get me an AR-15. A3 upper with a red dot sight, with the hope of eventually getting a ACOG on it. Thinking I better do it now in case the Dems ban em.

I should say for spending cash on my trip. Not for the actual trip down and tix.

Pool Table

Pay off debt.

Liquor and whores!

I hate you I take it you are getting $1200?

Yep! :D

Same thing I do with all my extra cash: home renovation.

I think this will go toward either landscaping, a carport, or a driveway repave. Obviously, it won't get us there on the latter two, but it will help out.

Economic stimulus check? WTF..is this just a fancy way of saying your tax rebate (if you get one)?

No, you're going to get another in May. $600 for single people, $1200 if you filed jointly. Obviously, there are limitations and stipulations... but basically, if you made over $3K and filed this year and don't make more than $75K as a single, you'll get the check/direct deposit.

We don't qualify for a rebate. Can you believe that bullshit? Apparently the more you put in the less you get out. There is something wrong with that picture.

!!!!!

Since when does this happen? Is this something new being done this year to try to jump start our hampering economy? What do I have to do to see if I qualify? I already filed my taxes and received my rebate checks and I fall into the category you are talking about. $600 would come in handy right now.

No offense BWill but where the **** have you been hiding?

Dude, watch the news once in a while. I'm in freakin' Euroland and I know about it.

I know this is very un-American of me, but I plan on putting mine in the bank. Their plan failed on me!

Is the money is basically an interest free loan against your taxes next year? If you get money will it be deducted from your return in 2009?

Mine goes to the bank as well. I'm not rich but I have what I need. What I want is another issue but as long as we have what we need and the grand kids have what they need we are OK.

Buy a gallon of diesel for my rig.

I've heard several people mention that, but no, it's a tax rebate.

I'm with you onthis one. I can't beleive it. Biggest crock of BS ever.:cuss:

Q. Is my stimulus payment taxable?

A. No. You will not owe tax on your payment when you file your 2008 federal income tax return. But you should keep a copy of the IRS letter you receive later this year listing the amount of your payment. In the event you do not qualify for the full amount this year but you do next year, you will need to have the letter as a record of the amount you previously received.

Q. Will the payment I receive in 2008 reduce my 2008 refund or increase the amount I owe for 2008?

A. No, the stimulus payment will not reduce your refund or increase the amount you owe when you file your 2008 return.

Add it to the savings account, cha ching

Stop being so greedy.

HDTV, bidges...that's what Im getting.

Thanks, Vailpass.

Put it in the bank, or put 3/4 of it in the bank and buy some fishing gear with the rest.

:eek:

Do you ever ... like... read or watch TV? It was announced and has been a fairly large topic of discussion for two months.

Enjoy mother****er.:D

Put it in a shoebox for safe keeping. I'll probably need it when we go into Great Depression 2: Revenge of the Grapes.

An overnight bag from Jean-Paul Gaultier I've had my eye on.

I'll take my rebate check + $1 and buy something off the value menu. Oooh the joys of living in a high cost of living area.

I live in the American Gardens Building on W. 81st Street on the 11th floor.

dr bills, home repair, tax on new family American made Sedan.

Straight as an arrow to savings.
Much needed considering my recent layoff.

I'm using this thread to create a list of people to ask for money for pet projects.

thank you daddy's warbucks.

I'm going to spend mine on bottled water, SPAM, guns and ammunition in anticipation of the collapse of society.

LMAO:clap: hey wait that was my idea:cuss:

Mine will be direct deposited and most likely stay there. Not sure, really...

FYP

WTF dude? You live under a rock?

I know guys that live under rocks and have gotten the news. Hell, even guys in Texas have heard the news!

Going right into my ING Direct money market account. I'm currently building up my emergency fund, but that might eventually turn into a down payment for a house. I'm not jumping in unprepared, I want a nice down payment before I think about a mortgage.

Hey...I only watch ESPN, ESPN 2, ESPNNU, and Two and a Half men. How am I supposed to know. Was I supposed to get one last year too? Cuz I never did.

I conferred with some colleagues and they knew about it but said the check if you are single will be from $0 to $600. Not a guarantee of $600. How do you guestimmate what your check will be?
