The fed government is sending/sent us a $600.rebate If we spend it at Wal-Mart, the money will go to China. If we spend the money on gasoline, the money will go to the Arabs. If we purchase a computer, it will go to India. If we purchase fruits & vegetables, it will go to Mexico, Honduras & Guatemala. If we purchase a good car, it will go to Japan. If we purchase useless craps, it will go to Taiwan...and none of it will help American economy. The only way to keep the money here at home is to spend it on prostitutes, weed, beer and tattoos since these are the only products still produced in the good U.S of A........
Therefore, I spent my money at the Bunny Ranch in Vegas.

According to the talking chin (Jay Leno)...
...there was an increase in online porn consumption during the same period the stimulus checks were released...so people spent the stimulus checks on stimulating themselves.

I wisely pulled my $300 out and bought NKOTB concert tickets, a couple shirts, a lunch with a friend, and got my hair done. Still have about $40. $600 went to debt. My husband didn't pull his $300 out and he says it disappeared to bills...he pays them, so it's his fault.

I got mine last week and it's GONE! Car Repair, Car Registration and Contact Lenses. Done. Why did I have to be such an adult and spend it intelligently? I should have just blown it. Oh, well.
7/13/2008 -
I treated it as ordinary income (which it is):
10% giving to others
10% education
10% long-term savings for spending
10% play money (frivolity, drinks, dinner, hookers, blow)
10% financial freedom account (we used to call this retirement)
50% necessities (food, gas, rent or mortgage)
Hardly noticed it.7/13/2008 -
