Well I did get some good news yesterday but it wasn't the good news I was expecting.
I got a notice from the IRS reporting that my Economic Stimulus Rebate was on its way to my mailbox, and the check would be for $600.
Now that may not be a surprise to some of you but a few months ago some friends told me that the checks were for up to $600 each. I would have been brokenhearted if my check had been for $100 or so. But I had no idea what to expect.
So imagine my elation when I flip over the notice and see $600 staring back at me.
Now here's the real question: what am I going to do with it?
I know, I know. Put it in my savings account, to be used toward a new car or new home. That's probably what I'll do. But just for fun, what else could I do with it?
Take a vacation? Yes, but where? To the beach or NYC or Vegas? Buy myself a kickass birthday present, like a "right hand ring" or some real pearls? Buy that pretty new bedroom furniture?
The ideas are infinite. Unfortunately, the money is not.
