So what are you going to buy with your $600 bucks?

When the government finally releases our stimulus money, do you have plans for it yet?

Not really, I was real excited about it before I realized the money was just a deduction from next years return.

You are correct!

The package, which passed the Senate 81-16, will send rebate checks to 130 million Americans in amounts of $300 to $600 for people who have an income between $3,000 and $75,000, plus $300 per child. Couples earning up to $150,000 would get $1,200.

That's incorrect as far as I understand it. That CNN article even mentions that an earlier release of the article describing the rebate as a tax advance is incorrect and the rebates will not be taxed.

I'm thinking savings is where that belongs. That way when Uncle Sam tries to screw me harder next year, I'll be ready for him.

Sock it away in that 401k :yes:

For once, I truly hope I am wrong

 

[cvm4]

We'll have to pay it back eventually. All this money that comes from no where. So, you weren't too far off.
