We were not eligible for this .. "stimulus" rebate govt check, whatever they are calling it.

Everyone I know has been told to save it, or return it. If you read the fine print, it actually is a credit for next years returns that you will actually might have to pay back.

you do not have to pay it back and it does not affect your 2008 return and it does not get taxed as 2008 income...

please, go here before starting rumors.. :c)

If it was from Starbucks I'd start licking that monitor, you want every cent worth of that $3.50 coffee.

Ya, you make over a certain amount and you dont get anything...NO FAIR! Just because I worked my butt off to get where I'm at, they take a ton out as it is for taxes, and I dont get anything? What about those of us whom make over the amount, are single parents, and trying to survive...and dont get anything? Oh well...I guess i can go on and on about this - does me NO good!

If I get one, its going into the savings until August when I'll use it for the 1st month of private school tuition that I have to pay for because the public schools in the area are too crappy. Of which, my tax money goes to pay for anyway. (Maybe this should go under Thursday Gripes.)

You are right, it sucks. Hopefully no Democrat.

Just to set the record straight, coffee at Starbucks is not $3.50. It believe it is actually $1.75 for a grande. Have you tried the new Pike Place Roast? It is yummy and smooth.

When I get my check, I want to go to Disneyland and actually enjoy it when I am not going for a cheer event.
