HELP ME SPEND MY STIMULUS CHECK!

Okay, okay... I knew the "stimulus checks" (which will likely be taxed when we file next year) were based on an income scale....but this is crazy. I really don't make that much money. I'm not driving a fancy car (2001 Honda Accord), or living in a fancy house (1,110 square feet in one of the worst school districts in Atlanta) or going on ritzy vacations (my last trip was to Lexington Kentucky). I pay taxes, credit card bills, a modest mortgage, gas (3.59 a gallon!) to get to and from work, and medical bills. I buy groceries (just the basics) and shop at places like Kohl's and Target.

I'm the kind of person that has a bit of expendable income that I try to save for things like a new roof (leaking dormers), and new windows for energy efficiency (my current ones are single pane from 1948). I'm also the kind of middle-class person that is being targeted to help boost the economy.

C'mon everyone, we know people who are barely making ends meet to feed their family, pay their bills, and keep a roof over their heads are NOT going to run out with their $600 check and buy those oh-so-cute $395 slingbacks from financially struggling small businesses like Mitzy Puff's Shoe Boutique.

Imagine my (slight) surprise when my stimulus check came today(see photo of bank statement!). How will I personally aid this struggling economy? How will I do my part? How will I follow our brilliant* president's request to take our checks and do good for our country? As you can see I don't have much to work with, so I must make wise choices. I'm relying on you, my friends and family to provide guidance and wisdom. PLEASE POST A COMMENT on what exactly I should do with my recent increase in wealth, and how it will help this economy.





Yes, this is actually $15.75
