stimulus check

[Silver R/T]

Have you guys decided what to do with your stimulus checks? Of course not everyone will get $600, depends how much you make annually. $600 probably wil go towards mortgage/bills/home improvement for me. Every penny helps but price of gas, food and pretty much everything else rose so much that average person won't see much difference with $600

[Sinister68]

So, how much was your stimulus refund again?   

[Silver R/T]

didn't get it yet, but got stupid notice on "how to use your stimulus check" Taxpayers money spent wisely, not.

[TruckDriver]

Bills & gas money for me. That's pretty much it.

[69_500]

Using the money to go for 1 more round of fertility treatments, so we can hopefully have yet another child.

The wife wants a new mattress. Nothing to exciting. . . . Then again a mattress could be exciting. 

[BMOTOXSTAR]

Got mine 2 weeks ago , the ol' electronic funds transfer.
I am saving it for property tax on some investment property I have, go figure, the $ goes right back to the man.

[The70RT]

Hell I loss more than 600 on my stocks in the last 3 months......more like 1500 would cover that. It is not very stimulating to me at all.

[my73charger]

Already received it.  It went straight on a bill. 

[bull]

I'm pretty sure I'll be buying a rebuilt 383 with mine. I'm going to sit on it for a while though, maybe until about June or July, in case I run across an investment opportunity I'm currently looking for.

[PocketThunder]

My check is going right into the saving account so i can use it to pay my taxes next year!  who hoooo!     

[Brock Samson]

as i stated on the other thread about it...

[Manfred318]

[TK73]

Not enough income or too much??

I wish I made too much, but no I didnt file enough income to recieve my Uncle Sam check.

[Rocky]

I got mine last friday.  $1800.00  I'm putting $500 into my IRA, and the rest is going toward the trip I just took across country to Mass for my sister's graduation.  I just wish the government would give back all the money it stole from me.   

[Old Moparz]

Retire.






I guess getting a check like that is supposed to take your mind off the real issues?   

[mikepmcs]

Free money and I don't have to claim it as income(not that i have any) this time around.

It bought one of my 2 new fenders. I'll consider it a retirement gift from "Dubya"   

[71ChallengeHer]

Did you know that anyone who's child is 17 before Jan 2008, doesn't get the $300 ?

[Charger74]

Mine is going to help build my backyard fence. 

[moparstuart]

help buy replacement 440 short block for the birdable,  help pay my quarterly taxes

[Big Lebowski]

  Maybe go to Vegas & put it all on Black 33, while of course saving a few bucks for 6 or 7 White Russian's & the breakfeast buffet.

[Todd Wilson]

I gave 300$ to the wife for her to spend how ever she wants and put the rest in savings. Dark times ahead! Married with kids paid well with this GW money.

For a second there, I read that, "The wife wants a new mistress."  I was almost jealous.  LOL

[Brock Samson]

i wouldn't waste my money on any disneyland. 

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Brock?  Have any kids?   Its all for them bro

Went last year & I'll be going back again this year.

I'm only getting like $600 out of my $1800...I really screwed myself by taking my pension refund of 15k this year....

[Charger_Fan]

I've got a hundred things I could throw that money at...but I think I'll probably just save it. Then maybe it will magically turn into some new Charger sheet metal one day.

BTW, anyone who hasn't received their check yet can get an approximate date here; http://www.irs.gov/irs/article/0,,id=180250,00.html

 It maybe a seprate thread, but i went to D.L. about six years ago with my then GF and here two kids, for their sake...
i hadn't changed much since i was last there on my H.S. G.F.'s senior Grad night, though i had a great time then, we were all smashed and.. well you know how stuff is when your 17,..  waded thru the water at pirates of the Carribbian to party with them,.. stuff like that... anyhow,.. i know there are newer bigger D.L.s everywhere from Fla. to Paris and i think a new one opened in Saudi Arabia a few years ago,.. but, I'd personally rather go someplace real if ya' know what I mean,.. cause di$ney land has this giant sucking sound if ya' know what I mean. even if i had kids I'd rather they saw the real world then some fantasy land that gave them unrealistic expectations of the world. INM. still a moot point though,..

Definitely a valid point Brock....Im a big kid myself so Disney it is!

[Rolling_Thunder]

I'll be the red blooded american and drop the $600 on that Kimber Stainless II TLE I was eyeing - Buddy gets me it for $300...    i'll drop the other $300 into mags, ammo, holster, and a Pelican case   

[Forza]

[lazarus]

[TheGhost]

I went and got myself a new camera phone.  The rest will go towards gas for carshow season.

[Tilar]

If they don't know you made anything, you don't get one.

Yea, I wouldn't call Disneyland a waste of time at all. With or without kids it's awesome! We spent $1,600 on the whole family last year and it was a blast. I would have paid twice that to go there.

[Brock Samson]

yeah and you like the new charger,.. 

BTW:
Allpar has an article on polishing out tarnished plastic headlights as per the ealier comments in this thread...

We are doing some remodeling/rebuilding on our house.  I had started checking prices on materials and labor about 4-5 months ago. After coming back from Vegas last month we decided it was time to get it done. Well, the framer I had lined up never showed and I ended up removing all of our old Florida room. (That's a three season room to the rest of the World). Then building the new bedroom myself. The quote I had gotten for the roof went up by more than 1 grand. The windows are up. HELL,,,, everything has gone way up. Many parts of the country don't see the instant jump as we do in Florida as any goods trucked into the sand pile has an additional cost.

At any rate, what ever we do get will not even put a dent into the additional costs we are paying. It's better than nothing. I can say that most of the materials I am using are from the USA and Canada.  At least I can make myself believe I am doing my part in our job market.

Sort of on subject if you don't mind the injection, I think taking the kids to Disney is great. Better if you live close enough to drive on the cheap. From what I know, Disney is very good about being American for America. They employ thousands and thousands of people. Make much of their own stuff.  Also keeps the tourist thing going in hotels and restaurants and much more. Topping it all off with the fact that you did something great with your family, not just sitting at home about what is next.  Everyone needs to unwind and Disney is all about fun.  I'm all for it.

[superduperbee]

Mortgage, clothes, food....oh yeah...GAS!

  Anyone who thinks they are getting this money free..... just hasn't paid their taxes for the next few years yet   buzzkiller, I know

A friend here is going to Disneyland in Calif next month and bringing 3 boys , aged 13 - 15 - and 17 .
  I tried to tell him he'd be better off going to Six Flags Magic Mountain with boys that age,  think he just wants a hug from Minnie Mouse though ....

Anyhow, it will pay towards my collectible car insurance bill.

[Goodz]

I am thoroughly stimulated.  Thanks for checking.   

[tin_soldier]

Mine went to the Dodge.  New Quater-pannel, trunk extensions, inner fender.  I also did a side job and made some extra coin     and was able to get a new trunk pan as well.

I got a appointment for the body guy to picker up @ the end of June.  I will be posting progress pixs

My parents took me when I was 17, and I still enjoyed it.  Just stayed away from the kiddie rides.  Space Mountain rocks.

and probably an air compressor. 

[694spdRT]

With our first baby on the way it will be going in the piggy bank for now.

[70charginglizard]

absorbed already and then some by the cost of living. Still need more.

[NHCharger]

We're installing a Rinnai on demand hot water heater, propane fired. Doing away with the 50 gallon indirect oil fired hot water tank.

[derailed]

Paid my car insurance for the year on all the vehicles. Left me with $400 that I put into my scottrade account.

[Leonidas Rex]

Cigars
Alcohol
Sex

Gas

I guess the first three are out. Owning an SUV doesn't leave much of that check leftover for anything else. My wife already has it spent.
