The goverment wants you to do what!?

Now that the government has decided to give you a 600.00 rebate(single) or 1200.00 (per couple) check they want you to....................shop till you drop. It's hard not to notice all of the people who have come out of the woodwork stating that in order to revive the economy you should spend that money as soon as you get it. Even investors are getting in on the act by putting their money in large retail establishments while hoping for large gains. Do yourself a favor and put that money to work for YOU and your family rather than blowing it all on frivolous purchases. You can help the economy much more by paying down some of your debt or putting your money in a bond or CD. If your looking to buy a house this is an excellent opportunity to add funds to help with your down payment costs. If you absolutely have to go out and buy a material item, how about a bicycle. Not only are they great for exercise but they can help save on some fuel costs too! Additionally, you can get a energy efficient appliance to help cut down on energy costs. Use your new found money to improve your situation which in turn will ultimately lead to a greater economy.
