    I'm thinking about buying a lot of foreign goods. I hear that buying stock in Brazil is good right now.

    Seriously, I doubt I'll ever see that money...my wife will probably put it towards our next vacation.

    My Brazil fund is up 14% in the last 3 months. I should have put more into that instead of Vanguard's mid cap...

    edit:

    Getting back on track. I'm prespending my stimulus check this afternoon on a brand new American made mooring for my classic American made boat.

    I'm single, no kids, no mortgage (I rent), and I apparently made too much last year. Over a certain amount you no longer qualify. The kicker is that that figure isn't very high, especially for living in NJ where everything costs a fortune.

    The true kicker is: Next year 2008 tax returns, you will have to pay taxes on the stimilus refund you receive this year... Figure 28% to be safe... So, if your elgible for the $600 rebate, prepare to pay back $148.00 next year as it is considered taxable income.. On another note on how to spend it: consider joining us at the largest known Tacoma meet in Oct.. www.Tacoberfest.com

    Think I am going to put half of my $600 toward the truck payment. The other half will probably be spent on something useless for myself or the truck.
