What will you do with your Stimulus Plan tax rebate check?

Well I will not get but $300. it will not go far. With gas as high as it is I will be putting it in my gas tank and trying to buy some food.There will not be much left after that. A little pocket change thats about it.

I agree with you.If the goverment would lower gas cost we could put the extra money we have into other items to help maybe boost or country and her economy.I am glad about the extra money becasue I am taking and using mine for a beach trip later this summer...

I am going to get $900 which is a lot for a broke student. LOL.^_^. The first thing I am going to do is pay off half of one of my credit cards so that i would pay the half another time and then I am going to close it. Wish me luck with that. Then I am going to take my younger brother and sister to the movies and have some fun. I have to buy a new bookbag for next year. I'll probably put $200 into my bank account which will serve me for my books next year. And I am going to buy some clothes for my second younger sister. I already have a whole plan set and hopefully I do get the check because it will really lift some of the burden off of my shoulders for this week.

I am saving mine LOL We are moving at the end of may and will use some of it to pay the movers, the rest is actually going to pay future rent to the complex we are at now.

I will buyty new toaster! Mine tore up today.
I am going to apply it to the bills. It will really just help me get caught up a bit. The only thing I plan to buy is a car seat for my son & DIL for their baby that is due in July. I want to make sure she will be very safe.

I had our payment just direct deposited into our savings account. I think we're just going to keep it there to let our savings build up a little. We just bought a new car recently too, so I guess we could maybe put it toward getting ahead a little on the car payments. Right at the moment though, we're just planning on saving it.

i was planning of doing a franchise of a business..i found this cleaning business that has a low franchise fee $500 only...but i change my mind..i figured im just gonna pay my card and rethink about the business.

Hah!! I got it on Friday and it's gone, or at least spoken for, already. I used most of it to catch up on some bills we'd been struggling with and what's left will help us get through the next few weeks while I continue to wait and hope and pray my disability comes through before our house gets foreclosed on. Yep, it's going to help the economy, that's for sure. I've already given up my car for the time being because it needed more work than it's worth to pass inspection so at least one of us in our family is saving money on gas because I have nothing to put gas in...lol. Does that qualify as an optimistic attitude?

Hey Joann,

I got my tax rebate last friday, and most of it is already spent, I got a New DSLR camera, I bought it off Ebay, and then I bought with our federal return a copy of PhotoShop CS3

And with my earnings from online last month I bought my husband a mixer for recording music....

So now I need to start storing away for Christmas and bills.

Mooch

I'm planning on getting new siding put on my house this summer, so my $600 will be going towards that. Of course, it will only be a percentage of the total cost, but it will cover the new gutters, at least. I think its a good use of the money, since it will be going to a business owned by local people, who employ local workers, who will then spend the money they earn, etc, etc (the way stimulus is supposed to work best).
We thought about using it to buy a new HDTV, but we decided we don't need it (not a bad as new siding, anyway), and it really wouldn't stimulate the economy much, since most of those TVs are made overseas.
