  • Conspiracy

    "I bought......Oil!!!!!! For our hot water boiler. Seems ironic doesn't it. The rest I used to buy.....Gas!!!!! For my car. For my daughters car and to pay off my mothers....Gas bill!!!!! Exactly who am I stimulating with this money? The very people who put us where we are? Sounds like a conspiracy to me."

  • Every penny spent...

    "Hubby needed a beater for getting back & forth to work, so we bought this Mazda 626 for $1250. Lovin' the gas mileage of the 4cyl, especially considering his previous ride (aka gas hog) was a '77 Nova w/ a 305! Got the Mazda legal (registration/inspection/insurance), dinner out at one of our fave Mexican restaurants, work shoes for hubby, "just because" shoes for me, a few other little things .... & stimulus officially spent! Direct deposited on Friday, don't think we had any of it left by Saturday! "
