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:

    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:

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

    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.

    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.

    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.:cry:

    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:tongue: ? 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 :tongue: 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.

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