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

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 will spend mine on a new fridge and microwave (both are crapping out now), because my budget couldn't swing it otherwise.

I personally don't like this stimulus maneuver...

We send out money our gov't can't afford to spend. So we essentially borrow it from countries like China, which does wonders for our economy in the long-term.

Now I hear some want a second stimulus package. For God's sake, enough already!!

If you're going to spend money, spend it on infrastructure that's falling apart in this country. That way we are employing American workers and helping our country.

Short term it's more or less a PR move, long-term it will hamstring us.

These checks are just another idiotic thing that Congress has done. And another example of penalizing the wealthy for working hard and making their money.

They penalize successful families in two ways:
1. For clearing the 150k threshold of earnings
2. Penalizing families for working hard and putting their kids through college. Financial Aid is set-up in such a manner that a parental contribution is expected, and as a result they can claim you as a dependent and get a good amount of that money back. However, they're still paying to support the person they are getting screwed over in the process.

Stupid, stupid, stupid. Equal rights and fair treatment my ass.

While I agree with the inefficiency, I have to question where this money is coming from?!?

The budget is already resulting in trillion dollar losses, and that is built around everyone getting a standard tax return. Now give million and millions of families upwards of 1500-2000 back?!? Where is that money coming from?

I don't see a need to keep creating imaginary money and worrying about it later. We never should have left the gold standard.

College students are supposed to be grown people capable of fending for themselves. Most college students enjoy that aspect of actually standing on their own for the first time even if it means eating dirt while living in an overpriced slumlord special. Weird.

It's nice when parents can help their kids, but expecting it is a little presumptuous for a number of reasons - socially and economically.

I didn't write this, but Partial, THIS is where the money comes from...

Bar Stool Economics -->-->-->

Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this: The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing. The fifth would pay $1.The sixth would pay $3.The seventh would pay $7.The eighth would pay $12.The ninth would pay $18.The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.

So, that's what they decided to do.The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve. "Since you are all such good customers," he said, "I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20."Drinks for the ten now cost just $80. The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free.

But what about the other six men - the paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his 'fair share?' They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer. So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay. And so:The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings).The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33%savings).The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 (28%savings).The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings).The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings).The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free.

But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings."I only got a dollar out of the $20,"declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man, "but he got $10!""Yeah, that's right," exclaimed the fifth man. "I only saved a dollar, too. It's unfair that he got ten times more than I!" "That's true!!" shouted the seventh man. "Why should he get $10 back when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!" "Wait a minute," yelled the first four men in unison. "We didn't get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!" The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.

The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn't have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill! And that, boys and girls, journalists and college professors, is how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier."

Seriously - This appears to be a pretty good article describing how the process "should" work. I never believe anything until I see the new tax return, but if true, this should help explain the process for all of you.

Confused? Your guide to the tax rebate
Posted Feb 14 2008, 01:35 PM by Karen Datko
Filed under: Spending, Taxes, Karen Datko
Rating: Lots of readers have told us they're confused about how the tax rebate will work, so we'll try to shed a little light on the matter.

The rebates -- tax blogger Kay Bell dubbed them "prebates" -- are an advance on a tax credit you would have gotten when you filed your 2008 tax return. You're just getting it a year early, says Bell, of Don't Mess With Taxes. The amount will be based on your 2007 tax return and range from $300 to $600 per adult, up to $1,200 for married couples who file jointly, and $300 per child under 17 years of age.

You're eligible if you have at least $3,000 in qualifying income. To see a government document for details about how much you can expect to get, click here.

Kay notes: "Folks who don't usually file a return because their only income is Social Security, certain Railroad Retirement or certain veterans' benefits, or they don't make enough earned income to file, must -- repeat, must -- file a 2007 return to get a rebate." (Supplemental Security Income (SSI) can't be counted as qualifying income, the IRS says.)

Here are some other things you should know:

No special paperwork is required for most people. Just file a 2007 tax return, and the IRS will figure out the amount of your rebate.

Checks will start showing up in May. The money will be direct-deposited into your bank account if you select that option on your tax return.

You have to have a valid Social Security number to get a rebate.

Once you file your 2008 tax return and it ends up you should have gotten a bigger advance payment, you'll get the extra money in 2009. If it turns out you should have gotten less, consider it a bonus. You won't have to pay back the difference.

The rebate is tax-free. You won't have to count it as income on your 2008 taxes. You will have to note it on your 2008 tax return so the government doesn't pay you the money again.

Also, the IRS "emphasizes the stimulus payments will not count toward or negatively impact any other income-based government benefits, such as Social Security benefits, food stamps and other programs."

Who won't get a rebate? This list includes college students who can be claimed as dependants, and people whose adjusted gross income is $87,000 or more ($174,000 for married couples who file jointly). The rebate will be reduced by $50 for every $1,000 you earn above $75,000 ($150,000 for married couples filing jointly).

For more details, click here to read an article Kay wrote about the rebate for Bankrate.com. Also, visit the IRS Web site.

Or college student. :lol: The way they have it set-up is really stupid. College students are supposed to be dependents because financial aid has an expected parental contribution.

College students are supposed to be grown people capable of fending for themselves. Most college students enjoy that aspect of actually standing on their own for the first time even if it means eating dirt while living in an overpriced slumlord special. Weird.

It's nice when parents can help their kids, but expecting it is a little presumptuous for a number of reasons - socially and economically.

That's awesome you're being excluded though.

Talk to the federal government, not me. Also, I'll expect your kids to be paying their way through school themselves

You do realize you replied to this post already, right? Like a week ago? Don't tell me it took you a full week to come up with this tidbit of sharp wit after you failed on your first attempt.

Have you checked your account? I was supposed to be in the last group to get them through direct deposit and mine was in the bank on Monday.

It must be taking Uncle Sam a while to send out those stimulus payment. My letter said I was suppose to get ours on the 16th, and today is the 21st and still have not received it. Just like the help most homeowners were hoping for .... taking too long.

A quick computation puts Partial on this forum for 26 months. That means he posts an average of 410 times a month..or roughly 14 times a day..every day!!

It's all quantity not quality. Skin averages about 10 fewer posts per day. Honestly, I would bet the amount of minutes is comparable. I just respond to a lot of things.

First of all, thats not true. Second of all, its not like Harv, myself, Bretsky, etc spend that much more time. It's called efficiency. We have jobs, we have to do our posting fast unlike or resident stay at home dad...
