Spending Your Rebate

[UPDATE] - I posted the same thing over at the PoliForum, but some of you may not even check that site out....




Most of us are going to checks from the government to encourage us to spend money to keep the economy from going into recession:
Under the plan, as many as 117 million people would get rebate checks. Individual income tax filers would receive up to $600, working couples would get up to $1,200, and those with children would get an additional $300 per child.
How are you going to spend your rebate?

Stay away from whether you think this is the right move or not, it's happened and we are getting the checks, and while we are all people with very heavy convictions, I doubt any of us are going to throw the check away or not cash it if we disagree with this move.

Save it?

Spend it?

Pay off debt?

Buy a car?

Paint the house?

Use the money as a down payment on a house?

Buy a PS3?

Or maybe you will throw it away.......good for you, you're an idiot but good for you.

Paying off debt.

I can somewhat understand why they want it spent, but for us to get out from some of our personal debt will be best for the ecomony in the long run, not the temporary fix that spending it would be.
