Question of the day 1/29

What would you do with another stimulus check from the government?

I know there is alot of debate about whether we should even get one --but that is not what I want to know about-- please lets not turn this into a debate. I just want to know what you would do *if* we get another one--seeing as we really have no control over it.

We would use it for our summer vacation--especially since we are trying to do different vacations this year-- one to Tennessee and also a week in Orlando for CHA summer

Last time my husband and two oldest children went a missions trip. It forever changed them. If we recieved another check... I would have to see where the Lord leads!?!

I am in a serious effort to pay off all my bills right now, so I would be really boring and just apply it to those. Which I guess is a good idea since I spent the last one on something fun...a new camera.

Well, we have a list of purchases we want/need to make, so I'm sure it would go to one of those, starting with the XBox (want) and the furniture for the guest bedroom (need).

I would spend mine one something on my "need" list that I don't have money for otherwise.

Probably go in to the general fund for the new house.

It would go in the bank just like the other one did.

My dh just got a hunk of money from Social Security disability and he is using some of it to build a large garaden shed in the back (we already have a super huge garage but it's not big enough to hold all his toys!)
So I would probably use the stimulus check to buy alot of flowers and plants for my garden and to landscape around the new shed.

I'm also hitting a milestone birthday in August and my one wish is to have my daughter and family, who live out in California, here along with my son and his family. I'd like to invite all my brothers and sister and have a huge barbecue in our backyard - so the money would help pay their airfare.

use it at disney world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It would go right in the bank. You never know when it will be needed for that "rainy" day.

love2stamp · Thu Jan 29, 2009 10:50 am

I would use it for a vacation somewhere.

kcatt79 · Thu Jan 29, 2009 10:51 am

We would use it to fly home at Christmas when my SIL and nephews are there. Or else to go to my cousins wedding in June.

We would use it towards the basement being finished (paying off the loan we are going to get for it soon). Our regular tax returns will be going towards it as well-then it would be all paid off!

ArmyWife95 · Thu Jan 29, 2009 11:15 am

Well, since we didn't spend the last one, I guess it would just go in the bank.

Smiley-Scrap8 · Thu Jan 29, 2009 11:24 am

Pay bills. It seems more important than ever to not be in debt, that would help.

scrapy1967 · Thu Jan 29, 2009 11:26 am

Last year we used it to go to Disney world. This time I don't know.

beachlover · Thu Jan 29, 2009 11:48 am

pay off bills; no question about it! my income is not increasing with the cost of living as I am sure everyone else is also dealing with

Firegems · Thu Jan 29, 2009 12:17 pm

For me I would put it in the bank till I can pre pay my gas bill for the winter again... It was nice knowing that bill was taking care of this winter.

My mother's nursing home bills are $4600 a month. Take a guess.

montana_girl · Thu Jan 29, 2009 12:24 pm

Put the money toward a new laptop. Mine is having fits... won't talk to the printer any more, it's slow... locks up for no reason... Causing me to either go inot a tirade or burst into tears (depending on what I was trying to do before it acts up!)
