Rebate Check - what are you going to do with it?

[Cheyanne]

I am just curious.... this isn't up for a debate of good/bad or for any political discussion.... please.

According to what I have been reading in the news, the government believes that sending out rebate checks to people in the US will boost the economy and get the US out of an economic slump.

Our local newspaper put this question out for readers...

"What are you going to do with your rebate check?" Most answered that they would use it to pay for gas, pay bills & credit cards or use it for basic survival purposes - not for any special purchases like TVs, clothes, or down payment on a vehicle as the government hopes...

For those of you who may be receiving a rebate check, what will you do with it?

We are considering paying ahead on our LP bill, our electric bill, or phone & cell phone bill. It would be nice to not have to worry about a monthly charge for a year on one or more bills - and what we would normally have paid for those by month pay extra on the car or house payment.

put it in a savings account and use it to pay property and school taxes - they're outrageous here.

I'm just barely old enough to remember the last time they gave us that tax rebate check...I think they expected me to invest it in real estate or something.

As I recall, it just went to paying the bills...

I plan on putting it toward the expenses of the new sewer line we have to put in...of course, the expense is much bigger than the check. :( I really need better luck with plumbing on the houses I buy!

We need a new mattress. If there's anything left it will go to household expenses. We will hopefully be moving into our own home by that point and I think every knows all the little stupid expenses that pop up when you're moving.

I plan to watch everyone else retrieve them from their mailbox while mine sits empty.
