Gonna sock it away in savings. Maybe as part of a CD or something. I didn’t need it anyway. We’re not rich, but we live well below our means

P.S.:

If the Fed's would have given us more money...say $10,000....then I would have taken the family on a car tour of the 57 states. </obama>

It’ll pay for about a quarter of my real estate taxes. It’ll help because my checking account was drained on April 15 when I paid my Federal and State income taxes due.

The stimulus checks are a great illustration of our leaders' stupidity.

Given that the goal was to create an economic stimulus by getting more money in consumers' hands, it would have been much smarter simply to reduce the FICA withholding rate a little. Immediately, everybody's take home rises. No several month delay. No expense to print and mail checks.

Yah, but that is logic ... and logic is the antithesis of what politicians do for their own power. If what you suggested actually applied, then politicians wouldn't be able to state in their (re)election campaigns: "I did THIS for YOU"

Not getting one.....you have to qualify first.

What are the qualifications?

And I know actually paying taxes isn't one of them because non payers from what I've heard will be getting more than those at the other end who paid hand over fist in taxes.

Thanks to Pelosi & Co. I’m not getting one either. But I’m going to have a new deck built in my backyard anyway.

That’s one of the qualifications - not making too much money.

Same here. My tires are shot and part of my stimulus check will be going toward the purchase of new ones. The rest will go into my savings account.
