Economic Stimulus Check

[Marker54]

I just got my Economic Stimulus check over the weekend! I love free money!

So what's everybody going out & buying??

I must admit, I will not be contributing to the US Economic Stimulus program...my money will be going right into the bank. :nod2:

I was hanging out with a few friends this weekend and everyone said if they're going to spend it, it's not going to be for a few months. More or less everyone I spoke to is either banking it or paying down some debt.

Personally, I just had to buy some home medical equipment for my wife so I guess you can technically say I spent mine (and then some) before I even got it, if you want to look at it like that.

Mine will be used for a nice new shed.

Got mine last month shortly after my returns, but it's not really free, you're just getting a extra portion of general federal taxes back.

You lost me right there, cause I did my own taxes and got back exactly what I would have if they did or didn't have this goofy program.

[High_Revs_17]

Correct...consider it a bonus from the general tax pool.

Economic Stimulus Payment Calculator

You do not qualify for an economic stimulus payment

According to law, the economic stimulus payment amount that you would otherwise be entitled to receive is reduced by 5% of the amount that your Tax Year 2007 Adjusted Gross Income exceeds $xx,000. You would have been eligible for an economic stimulus payment of $600, but your AGI exceeds $xx,000 by enough to reduce that amount to zero.

However, if your situation changes during 2008, you may be able to claim an economic stimulus credit on your Tax Year 2008 return.

We were hoping to bank it, but we will now be putting it into a new central air unit!

Mine just took a dump Sunday

Yeah, my head was in it. I'm fine. I lowsided in turn 1 at Summit Main last Friday. I think it was a combo of going in there in 3rd gear instead of 2nd,(experimenting with different gears) so therefore having less engine braking than I was expecting, not having enough maintenance throttle and/or maybe rolling off just a bit. I also was a bit wide, and was on that bumpy crap that wasn't there in May. I'm fine, bike's fine, just a ground down peg and frame slider, and minor bodywork rash. I re-teched and went back out for the rest of the day, but was way off my pace. :P

I'm bummed. 25+ years of street riding and 13 years (hundreds) of track days and this was the first ever get-off. I was really starting to believe that I would manage to never crash, since I ride within my limits. Oh well. :(
