  • School Leadership

    "My stimulus check was used towards my second Master's degree in School Leadership at the College of St. Rose. I believe this was a HUGE investment in my future! My first class is focusing on the real importance that school leaders do to create and manage school culture. "

  • A little extra for our wedding

    "My fiance and I are using our $1200 (600 apiece) towards our wedding fund. We will be entertaining around 150 people this October, and our goal is to do it without having to use any credit cards. So far we've been doing great. As the checks were deposited a few days before we booked the honeymoon, I suppose you could say that is what they specifically paid for. "

  • City of Angels

    "I took myself to the City of Angels... Los Angeles. Went to most every tourist site (Hollywood Blvd., West Hollywood, Venice Beach, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, etc.) but the coolest thing I did was go to the famous Griffith Observatory. Great views from up there. The new Wolfgang Puck restaurant is down below and the food is terrific as are the prices. "
