All for me, sorry, no awesome children handouts. I'm thinking clothing free-for all, maybe starting with Filene's Basement for maximum bang/buck ratio. Save enough for a mad high-dollar steak and baked potato dinner for two. Or maybe just one, too keep with the "all for me" spirit.

No wait, changed my mind. I'll still do dinner if I can, but I could really use a good wool suit. Just one is all I need, long as it's charcoal and comes with two pair of pants.

I pooh-pooh your childish libble invite. I have discovered stmusic.

(No, actually, I'd still kinda like a libble invite, or whatever else you got.)
― kenan, Thursday, 14 February 2008 04:27 (sixteen years ago) link
i actually use stmusic. i'm glad to see that its library is gradually growing. i got an invite from a friend (lol panicking oink refugees) right after oink went under and it's gotten better recently.

honestly with the way the dollar looks right now you're honestly better off spending this now and not saving since no investment you're likely to be able to make is going to match the $$ equivalent next april 15

in fact that $600 is already depreciating at a terrifying rate and nobody even has their grubby paws on it yet. I can't wait to see what the sales flyers look like two sundays from now

wow, i just got a letter from the IRS copping to the fact that they never sent me my stimulus check.
"we are required by law to mail the economic stimulus payment by dec. 31, 2008. we could issue the check by this date so you will note get the payment based on your 2007 tax account. however, you may be able to claim a credit on your 2007 federal return."
that's not quite as fun.

CNBC: the best use of your stimulus check is to immediately turn it over to a bank. The bank is getting a bit worried about your ability to repay that credit they extended to you. This is bad for their peace of mind.
