Hey gang,

I'm going to ask everyone to tread lightly on this subject. The question at hand is not whether or not we agree with the stimulus package, just what you are going to spend it on. If the political overtones continue, this thread will be removed.

Thanks for your anticipated understanding.

Uhhh I hope that was not aimed at me ??? The very title of this thread has a political undertone ;D I just hope we all spend this new found money (me included as I do not make 250+) wisely. Not just run out and impulse buy. Hmmmm anybody know where I can find a Crosshatch Trigger?

Cm if ur making 250,000 or more a year which i beleive is the threshold for tax increases and rebates, your not worried about 1000 - 500 dollars.

I don't know anyone that couldn't use an extra $500 to $1,000. Keep in mind, we're all broke at our own level!

Personally, my problem is if I'm given $500, I figure out how to spend $1000 of it. "Oh that's $400, I could use the refund for it. Oh and that's only $250, I'll use the refund for it too. Oh and that's $350, so I'll use some of the refund for that too. . . ."

So for this, I'm buying a new Marineland Tank! please don't read this Phyl!

After John spends his portion "I'm buying a new Marineland Tank!" You’ll be limited to a fifth of Fleischmann’s vodka and a case of Milwaukee’s Best. ;D

Well, I have the vodka (still dosing in the tank, not in myself...yet) I bought I one foxface...so there is some money saved for all of you.

Maybe I'll use the money to hire a bunch of reefers to come and redo the tank!

I know im a nub aka newbie to these forums but could not resist posting on this thread. I have to say i agree 100% with paintman. I will take the money(if its even passed threw congress) and bank it to help me offset the raising taxes that are coming. I work as a mailman in paterson and have stories that would make you cringe, Sometimes ignorance is bliss. In this thread someone said that people use there home equity as a piggy bank, this is not such a bad thing due to the fact that its the only debt you can write off, just don't take a loan worth as much as your house is and then blow it. With that said i wish everyone a great new year.
