22. Stashing it away in savings.
Might not be what idiot wants me to do but beyond cutting back already any extra money is getting stashed away. Have a feeling we will need it sooner than later.

29. In the true spirit of the stimulus check...
...I'm going to buy a plethora of stimulating gadgets for my girlfriend. I'll kill 3 birds with one stone:

1 - I'll stimulate the economy
2 - My girlfriend will be stimulated
3 - I won't have to work so hard in accomplishing both goals... ;)

35. My daughter had big plans for her $300 share until
I told her we only get the bonus for children under 17. She turned 17 last November and boy, is she pissed. Unfortunately she turns 18 three days after the election so she is also frustrated she can't vote this time.

36. Paying down a credit card.
And everyone I talk to around here is doing the same. This isn't going to stimulate the economy. It's going to help people get a little closer to getting out of debt.
