    How Will You Spend your Stimulus Checks?

    I've been trying to decide, but I don't think mine will stimulate any ECONOMICALLY at least. Not to get into my opinions too much on it, but I think the whole stimulus package idea is stupid. And just for spite, I was honestly thinkin about going to a strip joint.

    I will probably end up spending it on some car parts or something.

    You?

    (Try not to get into your opinions on the package. No debates here.)

    I'm about to get new tires, and will probably have them by the time I get my check, but I'm probably going to get like $600, and that would not cover my tires.

    I won't be stimulating anything: my $600 is going straight to paying down some credit cards.

    The $600 will be going towards a big screen TV, that is, as soon as I complete my move to Seattle....

    You and me both, Matt. Got way to many bills to pay to afford to go out and "stimulate the economy".

    I'm thinking a 430EX with wireless trigger, motorcycle parts, power tools, or a road trip to somewhere stupid.

    I haven't spent money on anything fun for a while. Time to change that. Good thing I'm young and reckless :D

    Mine isn't going to stimulate the U.S Economy either....seems to be a theme here, lol. Rather it will help to stimulate the Italian economy. I'm banking my check and its going towards spending money while I'm in Italy this summer.

    Got a nice tax refund coming back which will go into completing another room in the house.

    As for the tax refund, I was initally not expecting anything but looks like we are and its also going into the house and also someones college fund.
    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

    Amazingly the amount of the check is exactly what I had to pay this year so I guess I broke even.

    I actually have to go out of the country next weekend, so I guess my $600 check will stimulate a foreign economy.
