Tax stimulus

[PhotosByEric]

I know this has been talked about before but wasn't sure if any one has seen the schedule of when you can expect the stimulus money:

So what does everyone plan on getting, photography wise?

I'm getting a Sigma 70-200 2.8

The wife wants to take the kids to Disneyland for a few days. Of course that will cost more than what we should get so I'll have to kick down some more money. See it's kick starting the economy already:lol:

For this to be effective, people should spend the money on goods and services produced by American companies.. The goverment is putting these rebates in to help the US economy. If everyone buys goods from foreign based companies, then our economy is not benefiting, while other countries are.

I'm gonna piss em off and save it.

This check should be coming around the same time I'm going to Italy, and seeing as the dollar is in the friggin toilet, I'm going to need every red cent I can get my hands on by that time.

[beezwax]

I have no plans:rolleyes:

[Bootsie]

If I get it. (parents still claim me)

I will use it to help pay for my Macbook Pro.

Money well spent! :D

[Tandem]

Depending on when it comes, it will go toward either a 1D3 or a Shinko 4x6 printer.

I dont think you will if your parents claim you...

I don't think so either, I am very unhappy about that. :mad: Especially because my dad said that if I let him still claim me that he would help me pay for a few things because it would save him money, but he seems to have forgotten about that. :rolleyes: Oh well, I might see if he is willing to give me a little of it.

Yeah, like half of his portion lol, $300 at least :D

In all reality, the $1200 we'll be getting will go towards our move back home. We should get the check in the mail the week we are in Mexico. I learned that my bank does not allow direct deposit into my savings account for some reason. So we got a check this year. Next year I'll remember.

All I know is that money will not be going toward camera gear.

[sevillafox]

I'll probably be spending it on fencing in the backyard and putting up a swingset for the little dude. :)

[BillsBayou]

I'm spending my money in Gatlinburg.

[rklepper]

I will be buying a new bicycle. Probably from Japan as noone makes anything in the US anymore. How is that for economic stimulus. Let's start making something again for people to spend their money on!!!!!

[Eagle]

Two weeks after I get mine I'm going to the Outer Banks of NC, so it's spending money.

[bbqKing]

I'll be giveing mine back to the Bush family by buying gas for about 5 weeks

[salexande867]

After filling out my taxes I learned that I make too much money to get anything :(

I was really looking forward to spending it at B&H. My fiance is only getting $145 of it because she makes too much money too (apparently).

Then you should already be stimulating the economy enough.:lol:

[slimninj4]

Well My potion will go to a lens. My wifes to clothes and my son's portion will go into a CD for savings.

[Killjoy]

I'm gonna piss em off and save it.

Me too.

[Simoli]

Most likely going to the "emergency" fund for when one of us gets laid off.

[toneyw]

I'm thinking of either getting some new glass (from Japan) or saving it for the 1DMKIII (from Japan as well) or some new electronic goodies (from China or Japan or Korea).

haha... I like how you said WHEN not IF...

I need to pay off some debt with mine... if there's anything left, we'll probably save it for bills for the next month.... I'm a poor college student trying to manage my finances... I graduate in the fall so hopefully some more money will be rolling in soon.
