Well the gubment is going to be sending folks a Economic stimulus check in the next couple of months.
What are your plans?
Personally, I think the Mrs and I are going to use it for some extra cash for vacation this year.
I really think the only place that's going to benefit from this is Wally-Mart and the carry-outs. Big screen TVs and Beer should be going like crazy in the next few months!

Stash it in a Mason jar in the back yard. Isn't that what old people do ?? ;D
Seriously, we will probably put it in the checking account and spend it on whatever.

In a nutshell, taxpayers will be receiving $600. Married couples will be getting $1200 children will add $300 per child. There are limitations though. If you make more than $150K as a couple I believe that your payment will be reduced.

The wife's PT Cruiser could use some tires, other than that save a little and spend a little.

We plan to put it in our "house" account. That is a special account we have set aside specifically for home improvements or repairs. I think we might finally put that half bath in now...yay!

It will be hard for me to use to pay off some debt but I think I will use it for summer play money. (Which, in my mind, is the same as saving that amount if we were not getting it.) I'll use it for things such as camping, Cedar Point, and of course road trips, including Niagra Falls in September!
