Not to get too much into your business ... but did you get any or all of the $600 economic stimulus payment this year?
If so, what did you do with it? Save it? Buy a flatscreen? Pay for childcare? We want to know.
We may ask you to be on the show for an upcoming economics segment.
I received $900.00 and I used the check for my move.
I used my stimulus check towards my downpayment to buy a house.
I used my $600 in addition to other savings, to move into a new apartment.
I received $600... and it went all to GAS!!!
I don't have health care and I have a lump in my breast, so I used it to go to the doctor.
$600.00?
I haven't seen this.I bellieve that Chevron hi-jacked it.
I bought a painting I had been looking at for a few weeks.
I caught up on bills.
Just to be contrary and difficult, I put it in the bank and forgot about it.
