Amy in NH Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Prepurchase $1000 worth of oil for next winter. Buy supplies to fix up the house. Keep a little buffer in a savings account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6packofun Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Our bank has these rewards points things and along with gift cards and material stuff that you can redeem there are also dollar amounts that can be used to start an IRA and a few other investment options. We have enough points to put almost $1000 into retirement and we'll be using part of the stimulus check for even more savings. (Yes, it's sad that this is just the START of our retirement egg, but it is what it is. lol) We will use a bit of the check, though, for our small summer vacation. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrianne Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 We will put it all into savings to replace some of the money we paid in income taxes this year. :banghead: Due to a miscalculation in some other savings money. We owe A LOT of taxes this year. GGGRRR!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. H. Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 1. Paying of dh's medical bills. 2. Paying for our new deck out back. 3. Taking a weekend getaway for me and dh in May. (It's been almost three years since we've gone away for the weekend. We're going to dh's law school 5 year reunion.) Of course, this is assuming that the government doesn't put it directly onto dh's student loans. I interpreted the information to mean past due student loans, which wouldn't apply to us, but we never saw the first stimulus check several years ago, so who knows about this one?

KIN Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I've been thinking about replacing flooring, getting Lasix, a bigger diamond (a girl's gotta dream!), and more. But, probably, we should be responsible with it and put it towards our next car or the kids' college funds. :001_unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awanama Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 We will probably pay off some debt and then put some in savings because we have pretty much depleted our emergency fund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutor Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 We are going to stimulate the economies of Uganda and Peru by sending our "redistribution of wealth" to missionary friends in those countries. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cin Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 it will probably go into one of the spring/summer projects; the deck and kitchen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer in MI Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 We'll stick it in savings and use it for one of these things: 1. Redoing our fireplace/mantle (it's brick and brass right now) and adding a plasma tv and blueray player. 2. Staining our deck and fence, re-doing our front porch, and working on some nicer landscaping. 3. Finish finishing our basement. (We still need to add carpet, paint, and another closet.) If we don't use it for these things, it'll stay in savings and get used toward: 1. A new (used) car in about 3 years. 2. Our European Vacation in 2011 3. Other various vacations between now and then! So, I could really use about 10 times the amount I'm getting!!! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
