We are expecting to receive our “stimulus” package any day now.  I think it is exciting that $1200 will just be showing up in our bank account when it feels like it.  It hasn’t happened yet.  I was just wondering what everyone else will do with their check.  I really didn’t feel that this was a smart thing to do for our economy and that is why I ask.  If we were all smart we would SAVE it or pay off debt we have with it.  And that is of course what we are planning on doing with it…save it…but I am feeling VERY bored with this idea.  I mean it is sorta free right?!  Is it wrong for me to want to spend $50 of it something fun?!  Just a guilt free shopping spree for once!  I am being silly b/c lately I have been on shopping sprees and have not felt one bit guilty about it.  I am not going crazy or anything, I just go through phases now and I know this is just a phase.  It is dying down.  And for some unfortunate and weird reason I like to spend money on things right BEFORE we go on vacation.  This is ridiculous since we should spend money ON vacation.  (Most of our trips seem to be relatively inexpensive).  But I come up with all these things I need before we go.  “Oh these sandals would be PERFECT for Mexico!!”  Anyway, I know I shouldn’t think the way I do about money but I will be aiding the economy and buying SOMETHING  I wouldn’t normally.
