Hey what has the stimulus package stimulated you to buy?

kjllose

I'd love to say some equipment like an elliptical but I think it will go into my house just to get it a little further along. I can't say I don't love money but sooner or later someone will have to pay for this little goodie they are throwing our way. Hope this doesn't tweek anyone's shnoz the wrong way, I know politics, politics, maybe not a good idea to write about but I was a little bored........:bigsmile:

Paying bills, get a little in savings. We're boring.

Ours was pretty much already spent! We bought two airline tickets (multi-city trip) to Oregon, then to Santa Barbara, and then back to NY to see my family (in OR) and my father-in-law (in SB), in early July. We had used a CC for the tickets...so we just paid that off. We have a bit left over.....we shall see!!

I'm buying a MacBook!! I might use 1/2 of it on a down payment, pray for 1 year interest free to pay the rest off, and then save the other 1/2 for our move...

Buuuut, I gotta do my part of the stimulation!! :laugh:

Booked a hotel in Hot Springs, for our 10-year anniversary this fall. :drinker:

All of mine is going to credit cards due to a very expensive trip to Europe at the end of this month...

moidyn

I am with you on the MacBook!! And I paid for a cruise that I had put on my credit card...

mommared53

I'm using mine to pay down my credit card bill.

Probably furniture for the new house. Who the heck knows, it isn't going to go very far though.

cinandchris

I over spent on the recent move, so I have to pay bills with min :grumble:

Treadmill. My elliptical is about shot and I love to walk, but the PacNW is not always conducive to walking, plus no good hills. I would rather do the elliptical at the gym and still get my 4 miles done on rainy days instead of sitting contemplating what looks good in the house to eat. The rest in savings and a little for a dinner cruise for our anniversary in June.

Bill............ okay, make that bills, not buying bills, paying bills, what else is there?

debuckl

I'm hoping closing costs...If we ever get the stupid house...

yoginimary

Oddly enough, we are saving it to pay taxes :noway: - property taxes - there isn't an income tax in Texas, so the property taxes are rather high.

GIGINATOR

Stimulate the economy? Don't know about all you folks but here in MIchigan everyone is struggling. So my money is going for GAS, more expensive groceries and bills because I might not even have a job in a few weeks. I'm a nurse with a contract that expires end of this week(union) and all the talk is STRIKE!!!!! So my money is going to keep my family eating, though it won't go very far.

kjllose

I hear you all, and your right it won't go very far, I just meant it sarcasticly and you can't get that across well on the computer, but I guessed I could have typed it. lol where is the sarcastic smiley face when we need him, will this do ? I just hate the thought of giving it to the credit card monsters but they have to be fed too. Yow with the price of gas going up maybe I'll have to worry about my job as a schoolbus driver, but here in Vermont that only leaves horses Wouldn't that take forever, my route takes an hour with the bus. Giginator I hope your job doesn't go down the tubes. :flowerforyou: I felt the crunch on my grocery bill too, but I figured I eat less now than I ever did before, although the fresh veggies are expensive. I can't wait for my garden. Soon very very soon.

dmflynt

We are remodeling the bathroom, so the economic stimulus payment means we can do it sooner rather than later!:bigsmile:

abbychelle07

I'm putting some in a 529 account for my little sweetie's college fund.

Otherwise, it will just go into the mix. Nothing specific.

auntkaren

Had the breaks fixed on my van, and paint for the outside of the house. :ohwell: 300 dollars doesn't go very far but it helped.

greysweatshirt

I'm going to be putting mine into my car! UGH!!

barefootbabe

Wow, I have no idea what you all are talking about, but it sounds like you are getting free money! Send some of that my way, please!

msarro

Well, the mean spirited anarchist part of me wants to invest it in Chinese securities, but the rest of me is most likely tossing it in savings so I can afford student loans when they come due in about a month.

I'm from Grand Blanc, right next to Flint(GM union town). The economy SUCKS here, i might have to seriously consider relocation if my job situation ends up bad.

I thought about going shopping and doing some fine dining for myself, but I think I'll put a little in savings and do something nice for my kids! Heck, they're the reason why I'm getting the payment anyway, so why not take 'em to dinner and a movie!!???:laugh: Remember when G Double Ya did this a few years ago?? I have a feeling that come next year, you're going to have to take a knock off your return because of this payment, so better enjoy it while you can!!! :ohwell:

pmd14

I already bought so now I'm paying off my bills. What I bought was necessities like food!!!
