i'm paying off my contractor:grumble:

what's everyone else doing with theirs? i'm curious how many people actually plan on spending theirs on stuff they don't need vs people saving it or paying off debt (like me)...

    Two thirds of it will be going into our emergency fund.

    The rest of it will go towards the get our house painted fund.

    I so wish we were financially in a position to "stimulate" the economy. I'd get a new pc!

    Everyone who filed a tax return gets it. Individuals get $600 a peice, so a married couple gets $1200. Then you get $300 for each child.

    We're getting $1200, which will be used to put back into our account the money we had to take out to pay taxes! :mad:

    We got $1500 and it was pretty much already spent when we purchased airline tickets to see family out West in July! Paid off a few bills too.

    I admit, I did buy a nice skirt that fits the new me. Otherwise I bought a gym membership with personal trainer for the summer, and the rest I will donate to a non-profit that helps African girls with school fees in Zambia where I used to live.
