poll: economic stimulus...

What are your plans for (or how have you already spent) the economic stimulus "tax refund" checks?

Re: poll: economic stimulus...

  • DH and I went on a home furnishings shopping spree at Target!!! Granted, the stuff we bought isn't designed to last long but we were able to get a few new pieces to really organize our apartment after all the wedding gifts we got had filled it to the brim. 

    We got a cubical shelf thingy, two filing cabinets, a new mattress, and a desk-topper shelf.  DH loves books and papers.  I call him a print-a-holic.  He feels the need to print out almost any web page he reads.  I love keeping bills and paperwork AND I love cooking so we got TONS of cooking stuff as wedding gifts.

    We spent the last TWO weekends throwing out old stuff that we had each accumulated in years of living alone (I'm 28, he's 35) and reorganized what we decided to keep.  Our place looks really nice now and it is more relaxing to come home to a clean, organized house than the crowded chaotic cluttered cramped place as it was before we put some work into cleaning it.

    We had considered taking a 7-d honeymoon to Mexico but our bosses kind of frowned at the idea of us taking a week off work to just "honeymoon."  Maybe next year...
  • It's part of the house down payment fund.
  • It's going toward credit card bills
  • I put all of mine on my credit cards and DH had to buy new tires about a week before he got his check so his went for his tires.
  • i am using mine to buy a pair of prescription glasses, then rest is going into savings.
  • it's paying for gas =(
  • We didn't get stimulated!  Oh well, glad you girls got to enjoy the extra $$!
  • Payoff some of our credit card and maybe buy a flat screen tv
