Got my Stimuls deposit

We will probably use ours for another car. But I wonder why everyone was lead to believe they would get 900, but they are only getting 600? Does anyone know the answer to that??

We're expecting 1500, thought we would be getting it today but found out since we used Turbo Tax and paid our fees out of our refund that we won't be getting direct deposited it, which is how we receive our refund! It will be paying off a couple bills, upgrading our cell phones, and having a lil fun!

We are moving in May and need to pay two months worth of rent to break our current lease so the $900 we are expecting is going towards that.

Mine was less than I thought that it would be too. I only got $900 and thought that I would get $1200. Oh well. It will still help with vacation money.

We won't get our stimulus payment until June 20th. People are thinking they are getting back more than they are becuase they are not figuring the refund right. It says UP To $600 per adult you are not guranteed $600 it depends on your tax return from 2007 you also get $300 per child so here is a link to the calculator to see how much you will get http://www.irs.gov/app/espc/ I thought we would get $1800, ($1200 for couple and $600 for our two children) but that is not the case I did the calculator and we are getting back $1200 that is where the UP TO $600 per adult and UP TO 41200 per couple comes in hope that helps out a little.

The government always has a way of giving you less than they promise. The first requirement of being a politician is that you have to be able to look someone in the eye and lie to them. It is sad that our country is run by people who go back on their word constantly. I am paying off credit cards with mine. Hopefully, I will get back enough to pay off a couple of them. I am supposed to get back $1200, but I am not holding my breath on that until I get the check. As mentioned earlier, we know how the government is. It is nice of "Uncle Sam" to pay those cards off for me like that, though. Unfortunately, I will likely have to use the cards again to pay $3.60 per gallon for gas so that I can go to work and try to earn a living. I guess we can't win either way, but we have to keep trying.

$600 is better than the nothing that would have come without the "stimulus package".

Hi sweetcake. Whenever I get a stimulus package or extra money in terms of this, I would save some and spend the rest. The ratio would have to be 70-30. Means saving 70% and spending 30%. I know this discussion was a year back but I think in future I might be getting some more of such package and I would want to spend wisely this time. Have a nice day.

I am also going to use my for bills. I have been out of work as well. It always seems like everytime I get a little bit extra I have to use it for bills. For once I would just like to use it for some fun.
