  • Back across the 'pond'

    "I spent our $1,798.00 stimulus check on three tickets back to the United States from England (with about 50.00 left over!!!). My husband has been augmenting a Security Forces unit with the Air National Guard for the last three years-because he is 'just a guardsmen' the military does not pay for his family to be here, so his time is up and we needed to get back to Cincinnati!! I guess it was better than having to take the $$ out of savings!!"

  • Returned a gift.

    " My adult daughter, who has three babies and a husband, paid off my PayPal account as a gift to me. She did not expect the money back, but my incentive check made it possible for me to return $600.00 to her. It's great when family works together; thanks Uncle Sam."
