  • The Buffer

    "I lost hours at work and used the stimulus as a buffer. Kind of a drag considering I had already purchased a used bicycle for $200 with the idea that the stimulus would pay for it. Oh well, with any luck the bicycle will pay for itself. I blame corporate america. Enough is enough. This has gone on too long. I want my hours back. "

  • Money that keeps giving back!

    "I bought a Nikon D-40X SLR Digital camera that I've been needing for years to build my photography profile. I also funded a day off from work to put in my resume for a new job, changed banks, and got a loan to consolidate my debt and pay off my car. Now I'm making lower payments with much less debt, I got the new job, and I just bought plane tickets to Phoenix for vacation this September. All of this possible by giving back my 10% back to God! "
