More Stimulus Goodies

I was visiting with my dad the other night about the current shape of the economy and the fact that the polls show that the majority of people will either save their stimulus check or use it to pay down bills.
To which I replied is complete BS.
When was the last time that you got a $600 windfall that you did not expect that you spent it wisely?
Case in point, I see many people at the bar win a $200-500 pull tab only to spend it all the same night on drinks or other frivolous gambling.
Nickel backs up my claims with his recent post.
I think that stimulus check will go right where the government wants it to go, except for a portion that fills the gas tank a couple times with these ridiculous oil prices.
Americans just don’t know how to save or live below their means. They can say anything they want. We all know actions speak louder than words!

I actually paid mine to my mortgage. It’s amazing I know. Japanese also get bonuses every so often from their jobs though they are much better at saving it or paying down their dept. It’s all the advertising that Americans get subjected to that makes them spend, spend, spend.
Anywho take care!
