I heard a commercial on the radio today that was for some air travel company and they just so happened to have a great idea for what a person should do with their economic stimulus refund.
Don't know if you've all heard but starting in May/June just about every American will be receiving somewhere around $600 from your friendly neighborhood federal government.
Whether or not you agree politically with the idea or the reason for it we will all have some extra moola in our coin purses in the coming months.
Personally I'm torn with what to do with it. Part of me says I should pay bills. The other half says to take a trip just like I heard on the commercial today.
So I'm posing the question of what YOU will do with your check- and in the process have come up with a new "word". We have all been... Stimulus'd!!! Kind of catchy, right?

If the man thinks that $600 is going to save the world, the man is sorely mistaken. Now if the man was handing out $6,000, there'd be some cash left to spend after paying that stack of credit card bills from buying solar powered night lights and other "necessities" from the As See on TV store.
