The government’s attempt to give you an early tax refund (even if you don’t need one) which they’re calling ‘economic stimulation’ is a farce for the most part: I may get $600.00 for my family, but I’ll be paying it back in my quarterly taxes. Oh, boy! Here’s a list of things that will not stimulate the economy and bust the intended use for the checks:
- Stick the check in the bank
- Pay the check back to the government as a quarterly tax payment the following quarter
- Pay credit card debt (and not regain that debt on the card)
- Go on an international spending spree
- Buy Anime on eBay… from Japan
- Frame the check and put it on your mantle like the head of a dead dear
- Give it to a charity that will buy goats for Haitians
- Invest in lead testing kits for the Chinese toys your children have
- Drive to Canada and buy cheap meds
- Use it to move to Canada where their looney money is worth more
What are you going to do that’s financially wise, but not necessarily intended by the Gov’t.?
