Starting a nest egg

“I originally wanted to spend the stimulus on a laptop computer, but with the economy in the state that it’s in, I decided it would be more prudent to deposit it in my savings account. I want to build up a nest egg in case things get worse. I know, I know, I’m not stimulating the economy, but I have to do something to protect myself. And I’m not going to lay the blame specifically on W or Congress, though both have been inadequate — no matter who gets elected in ’08, we’re all screwed.”
