How I spent my stimulus

June 14, 2008

Actually, I haven’t spent it yet.

Why not? I haven’t received it because I haven’t filed my 2007 return.

But a lot of folks, almost 67 million according to the Treasury Department, have gotten their hot little hands on their economic stimulus payments. And they’re telling the world what they’ve done or plan to do with the rebate cash.

This CBS news video (or transcript here, if you prefer) shows some of the rebate "woo hoo" moments.

You can see more expenditure announcements at How I Spent My Stimulus.

When the hubby and I finally get ours, maybe we’ll head to the site to share just how we helped the economy, too.

Hello Tax Season 2026

Happy New Tax Year! Are you ready to file your 2025 tax return? I know, too early to ask. But Tax Day 2026 will be here before we realize it. The Internal Revenue Service deadline to file and pay any tax we owe is the regular April 15 date this year. It’s also Tax Day for most of the states that collect income taxes from their residents, which is most of the states! If that seems too far away right now, don’t worry. As is the case every tax season, the ol’ blog’s tips and other tax reminders should help all of us meet our state and federal responsibilities. Procrastinators also will want to keep an eye on the countdown clock just below. It tracks how much time we have until April’s Tax Day, just in case we put off our annual tax task until the absolutely final hours and decide we need to instead get an extension request into the IRS by that date. (Note: I’m in the Central Time Zone, so adjust accordingly for where you live.)
