My portion of the economic stimulus package just landed in my checking account. I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that I won't be going out and stimulating anything, though. This money is heading straight to savings, or straight into my gas tank.
I am pretty sure that I'm not the only one feeling pinched these days. It seems that prices are creeping up everywhere. Gas, groceries, clothing, and entertainment are all taking up a larger part of our budget now. It just feels odd to basically have the federal government encouraging me to go out and buy a new DVD player, or TV, or somesuch.
I have a feeling that a large part of these stimulus checks are going to go towards the necessities of everyday living before they go anywhere else.
