I was just wondering if anyone went out and bought themselves anything nice with their "extra" check. We used 1/2 of ours to pay the bill we ran up while on vacation lol and the other 1/2 we bought 5 calves with. 2 will grow up and have babies (making money lol) 1 will be our replacement bull (making money lol), and the smaller two (Sparks and Chip) will be banded (turned into steers) and sold. I feel great that we finally were able to invest in something

The kids and I took it and a few friends on vacation. We're tanned, relaxed and a lot poorer than we were a few weeks ago.

Most of it is in the bank for now.

I spent some at Sam's Club. And bought Guitar Hero Aerosmith. That's it for now.

I had running boards installed on my new Jeep. My Mom is 4'9" and had a hard time getting in it so I put them on for her.

I gave $200 to Kevin and he spent it on books for his classes and then I split the rest between two bills.

We just got ours on Monday but it all went for bills. We paid the last bill today. Hubby bought a $50 VCR/DVD combo for our side business. The kids got a new game that was $20 each. Now its all gone.

We got hubby's truck and travel trailer tagged ( that was almost $300), bought some groceries and a few movies for the kids, and been using the rest to pay bills. That seems to be the thing to do --try to catch bills up so you can afford gas to go to work

All $2100 of it is in the bank(emergency fund),that is where it will stay.We had to use from our emergency fund(my oldest dog Winni broke a tooth) a bit ago and the stimulus helped put us back to the original $5000 we had in there.We like to keep the emergency fund seperate from our checking and savings accounts.
