  • Spreading the love

    "I spent my stimulus while I was on vacation in Europe and Turkey. Most of it went to craftsmen in Italy, small businesses like Greek bars, and historic sites like old Islamic mosques in Turkey. Meanwhile where I work over 80 people have been laid-off and the dollar fell even further. Thanks G-Dubs! Great idea!"

  • Groceries, investment, and strippers

    "I spent my $600 rebate on store gift cards at Albertsons. They matched it with a 10% bonus, so I got $660 to put towards my grocery bills. Since that was money I was going to spend anyway, I also transferred $150 to my IRA, $150 to my Roth IRA, $150 to Prosper.com, and went to a strip club with the last $150. I still lost less money at the club that night than I did on the stock market that day (and 'Taylor' at least gave me good value for my money)."
