  • Disappointed Single Mom

    "Wish I had good news like everyone else..but unfortunately I didn't get my stimulus check..the govt. kept it..put it towards a student loan I borrowed back in 1990 for $2,500.00 that has gotten way out of control since my divorce in 1998. I can't even tell you how much interest I've paid on this thing..I do know this..I'm working and raising my kids and the ex owes me over 15k in back child support..which the govt. says they are unable to do anything about..cant find him! yet they can sure find me and take my income tax returns and my $1200. stimulus check and yet still tell me I owe $2100.00 on it! wow...what a great system."

  • A newer car for our high school grad.

    "We bought our son a better car for his high school graduation. He plans on going away to collage this fall, and we thought it best to give him a better car than what he was driving while going to high school. The car is a 1999 Pontiac Grand Am GT."

  • Summer Vacation

    "I used 95% cent of it to pay debt for last summer's 8400 mile family trip. We did invite my parents out to eat and to see the new Indy Jones movie. I should have used that money for debt too in retrospect."
