What are you planning to do with your stimulus money?

Here's a DAA (Dumb Ass Attack) for you. Kept getting the "status unavailable:" message but there should be no reason on their list why this is happening. Turns out I didn't put the dashes in the SS#. Entered the bank stuff but my check was/is going to be mailed first week in May. :oops:

Do you have overdue bills to pay? Are you planning on making a purchase? Saving it? Investing it? Forfeiting it?

I am torn. I've been waiting for Porter Cable to make a cordless blower to add to their cordless lineup. But with the acquisition of Craftsman it appears Porter Cable is now dead in the water. So I was thinking of investing in a new power tool suite. But I can't decide if I want to join the camps of Dewalt or Makita. I like Makita tools better for reliability but I think Dewalt for longevity. I'm worried Makita being their own brand will eventually maybe be bought and fazed out. Just like my Porter Cable and my Hitachi before that. I do feel lucky that these are the tough decisions I have to make in regards to my stimulus. I realize to some this is just a bandaid on a bullet hole.

I was setting up an account at an online bank and they had a note in parenthesis to enter the dashes. The 10w light bulb clicked in my head and I went back and checked the note at the end of the IRS question:
ssnote.jpg
which I do remember reading and you would ASSume you just enter the number, but there are 2 extra spaces available for input besides your SS# so...
Wonder how many other people fell for this?

edit: besides jerry :hump:

Lol. The first time I checked my status I did what we all do. Numbers only, birthdate too. Guess I did it right when it counted :wink:

Glad everyone is getting their checks. Scratching my head at all the people planning on buying toys. What about people like me. Third attempt at disability in almost 5 years. Ebay and light handyman side jobs have kept me close to an average income. Both gone for over a month. What about us? I have no state or government checks monthly.
