I’m Going to Stimulate the Economy
I received my $900 Economic Stimulus rebate today!!
In a previous post titled, 5 Ways to Spend My Economic Stimulus Rebate, I mentioned that I might spend it on shopping, savings, vacation, bills, rental property, or maybe even donate it. I thought it was pretty funny how the readers who visit my blog daily pegged me so well. Many of you probably know me even better than some of my closest friends. LOL
For those who may be curious, I plan to spend the $900 by:
1 - Donating $500 to the non-profit that helped my family.
2 - Spending $400 on ME - either shopping or vacation. Yes, ALL ME!! LOL
The reason? All others expenses would have been incurred whether I received the stimulus rebate or not. So I already have a plan for them in the budget. As for saving, I’m in no rush. I have a pretty robust savings plan and I have no doubt that I will meet my goals.
Instead of being responsible, I’m going to be a good American citizen and help stimulate the economy! First stop? The Designer Shoe Warehouse! LOL!
I’ll post pictures if I find anything fabulous. 
Work to achieve, not to acquire.
And always, BE FABULOUS!
