We asked how you plan to spend your Economic Stimulus checks.
I'll use the economic stimulus money to pay my unsecured tax bill. One way or another, the local or federal government will collect their "fair" share. - Jack, Oceanside
I was on Pimp my Ride and I am using my tax money to upgrade my 1973 VW Thing's engine, by having the engine bay flamesprayed and painted and getting parts of the engine powdercoated and chromed. - Erin, El Cajon
I'm spending my check on something still made in the USA: Beer and Bourbon. - Tony, Carlsbad
My stimulus check will be going towards my wedding in Jamaica in August! - Christina, La Mesa
I'm gonna take my girlfriend out to dinner. - Alex, Chula Vista
I'd much rather see real relief such as making the Bush tax cuts permanent or suspending the gasoline taxes than being given a pittance which will only be used to pay taxes from the previous year anyway! - Gary, San Diego
Myself and the wife are going to take a cruise to Alaska this month. Now we will be able to take more excursions on our trip without affecting the bank account. - Mike, San Diego
Ohhhh Yes, I could do so much with the monies we will be recieving (1,800.00), such as paying a few bills... Car payment, mortgage,etc. But this time I plan to use this money for myself. My family and I have been focusing on paying off our bills so we well deserve to treat ourselves to new furniture for our home. I plan to purchase furniture for my new home office and family room. It will look great with my newly installed hardwood floor. - Jacqueline, East Lake
I will be paying bills and putting it toward my education fees. - Heather, El Cajon
I predict this stimulus package brought fourth by our president is one big joke. If he wanted to do something to really help "stimulate" the economy, he would crack down on oil and energy companies who are reaping the highest yields ever. As well as providing more relief for small business owners (the back bone of our economy) which is taking the hardest hits in this suffering economy. Instead of trying to cram a few extra dollars in our pockets, put some confidence in the people by showing them someone really hears them and cares. - Darla, Mira Mesa
When I received my stimulus payment I will spend it to buy gold coins for the rainy day. - Corazon, San Diego
