I got a nice tax return this year and was hoping to bank it. Then we found termites then our washer broke and now I am waiting and hoping this rebate check comes soon.

what did you do with the termites?
We had to get the house treated which was about $1,000. They dig a tranch around your house and drill holes in the foundation block to put down the chemicals. It lasts about 10 years and you can renew it yearly for around $100 so if you see termintes again they will come and retreat the home. You really need to have it done if you ever plan on selling the house so I am glad it happend when I had the extra coin.
I just put mine in the ol' savings account 20 minutes ago. I was going to buy a new iPod with some of it, but now I am going to wait on that til I have a bit more saved up. This will help ease the pain of the registartion/license shit for my almost-paid off car.
I like money as much as the next guy, but what is this supposed to accomplish again?

I had this very same thing done last year. Little more than $100 a year, but worth it.
My rebate money is probably gonna fund a weekend getaway, unless there is a project around the house my wife really wants done.

Apparently, people will start buying cars and refrigerators and we'll come out of the pseudo-recession we're supposedly not in (or are in) and in no time, everyone will be
Provided, this idea doesn't seem as fiscally retarded as the gas tax holiday but I don't think anyone actually thinks this is going to stimulate shit given the high cost of food and gas.
As long as those two chicks go out and spend that money at Walmart, it's a "win-win".
The "two chicks at the same time" theory is actually one of the guiding principles of trickle-down economics, as propounded by Reagan. Dude was both ???bout it and ???bout it...if you know what I mean.
should get it next week. im either gonna throw it at some credit card debt so i can live the debt free lifestyle OR im gonna buy what i said i was in the "what are gonna buy with your rebate check?" thread.
Congratulations to anyone who used turbotax and had their fees deducted from their rebate:

Will my economic stimulus payment be direct deposited into the same bank account? No. With the recent enactment of the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008, TurboTax does not ask for deposit information for your economic stimulus payment.
Although the IRS encouraged tax filers to elect to have their rebates deposited directly into their bank accounts, some filers will only be able to receive theirs by mail. They include filers who conducted certain financial transactions, such as paying filing fees from the proceeds of their tax refunds, using third parties, such as SBB&T.

i pay IRS taxes, send fedex and faxes. this industry is like f*ckin fat b*tches...
aka i got my fed/state rebates the first week of march.
Heres a link to that stimulus payment jawn!
The refund is the amount you get back yearly for what you "overpaid" on your actual tax burden
The rebate is what the gov is handing out for "stimulus" purposes this time around...
And no, I haven't yet received... I anxiously await both
It came in handy today.
Most of it is already in my savings.
In your savings!?!?!?!?
How is THAT helping the economy? Aren't you patriotic? Don't you wear a lapel pin????????

Well, at least I have some closure as to why I didn't receive my rebate this week. Damn, I could use that money right now though.
