Rebate question:

If you're going to spend any of the rebate, what are you going to spend it on?

The conventional wisdom seems to be that everyone is going to take their rebate from Uncle Sam which starts paying out next month and they're going to either save it or spend it to pay off bills.

Some people think that means the rebates are moot, but I disagree. If people are paying off bills, they're only going to put themselves back into the same debt they had before they paid off their bills. Which means people will start buying again. I guess we'll all see what happens. I'm interested in your thoughts too.

I'm fixing to buy some memory for my laptop and maybe upgrade to a pro account on Flickr. The rest is going into the Buy a House fund.

    Well after Uncle Sam keeps the $400 we still owe him, i'm going to buy summer clothes for the girls and hopefully get myself an ipod touch. We were thinking of a big LCD tv but figured to put clothes on the kids back would be a wiser decision lol They start coming out on Monday :)

    Got a speeding ticket. It'll go for the costs the court gives me.

    Wish I could have kept it. I'd have bought a nice iPod or something...or saved it for school books.

    I'm paying off a credit card (~$150 from a spring clothing shopping spree) and saving the rest.
