Seeing how poorly the economy is doing, I'll be paying my bills down. If I didn't have bills, I'd be looking at, in this order, house(pricing is affordable,) big screen, and a sleep number bed(I spent literally 4hrs sleeping in this bed, it felt like 9.)

Love,

Matt-

Since I'll be getting the full $600 on Friday, I'll be putting it towards my loan that I have on the Supra (I'm bound and determined to pay that fucker off as soon as possible).

For those who want to know how much, if any, of a stimulus check you will get, here is the IRS link.

That's what the IRS site says according to the information I put in from my 1040EZ form. I've gotten a refund from both fed and state for the last 4 years, except this year I owed (and paid off already) $137 to the Fed.

Have you read the thread on SF? Many of us were supposed get it , and haven't

I"ve got to buy an upgraded rebuild kit for Vonda's auto tranny. I also need to get her an electronic boost controller. That's going to take most of it, but they'll be enough left for her some new lowering springs and new shocks.

These rebates are going out for a reason, anyone notice the fact CD's are going down to ~ 1% APR.

Help the market people, your mutual funds will benefit from it.

I'm paying bills and getting an optima red top.

Mutual funds are at 1% for a variety of reasons. Merely increasing spending will not increase the 1%.

Although this belongs in another forum I wanted to respond. Peoples' inability to live within their means is only one of the reason why America is where it is right now, probably the biggest reason.

Paying off debt and spending as your finances let you and borrowing in control should be promoted. On a sidenote, Japan had a similar economic bubble burst. Recently, they(Japan) gave advice to America, from their failures as a society, in a recent world economic convention, teach your people to live within their means. Japan figured it took 12years to recover their economic integrity.

Profits are only realized, when receivables are received. Unless you worked for Enron.

Thanks,

Matt

Yeah finally getting rims, but I'm going to sell the TT wheels when I get the FN's. That money is going straight to the daily driver fund.

Was gonna get some whiskey, a few strippers, hit a few rails of coke... but since I'm only getting 200 bucks I'll be putting it towards paying off my debt.

Improved, I couldn't agree more...

Anyone get theirs yet?

The IC kit, or the check? I assume your talking about the money. My girlfriend just got hers yesterday. Mine should be on the way in the next week or so. My number is 98. So I'm almost the last one in line.
