  • 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! "

    "I put the whole stimulus check towards a down payment & paid the rest out of my pocket. Originally I had planned on saving it, but I couldn't resist. I had paid off my car in January & I was bored with it after 5 years so now I'm so happy with my new Civic Si."

  • Stimulating Sweden's Economy

    "85% of my check went to student loan payments, but I couldn't resist taking at least a little to Ikea. My favorite is the FROST clothes drying rack - equal to 20 yards of clothesline saves me 75 cents per load of laundry!"
