    TAX REBATE CHECKS--Thanks George

    I have three kids....one newbie and an hitched

    So any day I'll be getting $1800 because the Pres is hoping it helps fuel the economy.

    Just curious if anybody has any toys picked out or is people are saving it or using it to pay down other things

    Me, I think I'm using it to buy the monster Goalrilla Basketball Hoop
    http://www.goalrilla.com/#/products/gs1/

    The GS1 with the six foot glass backboard
    Somebody who just built the home up the street (happens to be the high schools Athletic Director and a former All State Player)HS has one and it's awesome

    Oldest girl is 7 and Youngest Boy just born; pretty sure this is our last home til we downsize someday so it'll be well worth it.

    Anybody else have any plans for the bonus money ?


    Cheers,
    B

    I don't know if I'm even getting money actually. I got a bonus from my work, and we are using that extra cash to spruce up our basement.

    That hoop is solid as a rock; I tested the guy's down the street. Very very wide metal base on the back

    Nice hoop B. If that thing can hold you up it must be some quality construction.

    The amount my wife and I'll receive is reduced and I'm not sure how much we'll even get. It really does not matter considering how much I just paid to the feds......

    Are you sure that's a wise investment? make sure you get a lot of TLC and pampering.

    As a dependent it turns out I do not get this. I pay an outrageous amount of taxes these days and get very little back. It's unfortuante that I can wave goodbye to 25-30% of my checks.

    You fall into a 30 percent tax bracket? Why are you being claimed as a Dependant?

    No, not for federal. Combined 6% social. I think its like 8% state. When all is said and done, 30% of my checks are gone to chumps like Skin who will waste the money I am paying in for him on video games.

    But then the video game manufacturers import more oil to obtain the plastic they need for game covers and hire more Pakistanis to man the customer service lines and thus we are pulled out of recession.

    Not that there's any recession mind you.

    I'm going to use my check to hire an undocumented worker to do the landscaping work I'm to lazy to do.

    In all seriousness, my mom is using my 300 that she gets for a portion of my tuition this summer. Thats an extra 300 in my pocket essentially as its 300 less that I'll have to pay.

    just found out the MF-ing post office has no idea where they sent my tax return. so my tax refund check is late and my stimulus check will be even later. I wonder if i can charge them a "late fee and penalty"!!! not to mention that somewhere someone has my address and SS#!!!!!
