Question of the week (Answers)

Question of this week:

How are you going to spend your stimulus check?
Description: By now you might have received the small gift from Uncle Sam, your stimulus check. And in this hard time, with the gas price soaring and the magnified household bills, it is no less than a fortune for you. You must have some plans with the check! Share with us, how you are going to spend it to fill-in the gaps between your income and expenditure?
We have received total number of 42 answers. Please, vote for the best answer.



	Answer 1: That's a fairly easy question to answer. I'm getting caught up on my financial obligations, what's left over I am depositing into an emergency fund which will accrue interest. I hope that will give me some incentive to add monies to in the future, so it will increase as time goes by. I'm going to call it my unpayday loan fund. lol

	Answer 2: Since losing my husband of 22 years at His age of 42, I plan on using my stimulus check to start a savings account for our son who took care of his father for many years and had to grow up too fast. Giving back to my son and my neighborhood children is what life is all about. My son and I are very close and as we have no family (both of us are only children), he deserves a little joy and something for himself.

	Answer 3: Actually, I have a specific item I need to purchase. I am by trade an exotic dancer, and am planing to buy myself a nicer pair of TA TA's. I have wanted this for years and will finally have enough to do it. May sound strange to some, but it is my way of life.

	Answer 4: We have already received our check, direct deposit, and like most people, we used it to pay bills, take care of some things that were unexpected and took a little of it to go out to dinner together, which is something we very seldom do. We were able to get caught up on a couple of things, pay off a couple of small things, we even managed to fill up the vehicles all the way for the first time in I don't know how long. We were also able to help my brother out by getting him some groceries and his utility bill, he is only getting approx 20 hrs a week at his current job, so due to him not getting a check, we helped him out with what we could. Of course we received ours in May, so there is nothing left, but it greatly helped with some things. Just wish a dollar stretched a little further.

	Answer 5: Well, since the US Government has determined I am too poor, and therefore I don't need to be economically stimulated, I will not be getting a stimulus check. I just find it incomprehensible that someone would have had to make a certain dollar amount in 2007, which I didn't as I've been unemployed for well over a year, in order to be deemed worthy of receiving the measly $300 being sent out. What this tells me is the government has pretty much deemed that I am absolutely unworthy because I am living at, or more likely below, the poverty level. Funny thing, I can only qualify for food stamps in my state; not any other type of public assistance, because I have no children. However, I could desperately use it! I would say that $300 would have probably fed me for a month or so, or put gas in my car's fuel tank so I could better afford to look for work. So thanks US Government, I will be sure to remember who helped me out, when I really could have used it, when election time comes around!

	Answer 6: I am spending my checks on new beds for my children. Because of the increase in everything (expect of course my paycheck), my poor children have been sleeping on old beds that are broken. The money I will be receiving is because of them so I am going to spend it on them. Any leftover money will go to pay down debt.

	Answer 7: I did what the government probably didn't want me to do--I put gas in my car and paid on some bills. Oh wait, I DID spend a couple of those dollars on a cheeseburger, so I guess I gave a bit of it back to my local economy.
