It would probably go back to taxes, as I do not make enough to have federal or state taken out. I usually end up owing state at the end of every tax year.

It’d go straight to my investments too!

It would go straight to one of my wife’s credit cards.

I would either save it or use it to pay on one of our loans. I’d love to knock that thing out!

Any money I get from this plan will go straight toward my debt. I don’t like the plan, but if I’m going to get the money, I’m certainly not going to waste it. Looks like we are all ‘bad’ for the economy!

Yeah, I’ll pay off some debt. I’m glad to get it, but I’d be just as happy if they were paying our govt debt with it.

I’ll be spending anything on debt! No new purchases!

You’d still be helping the economy. If you put money into a savings account, you’re giving banks more deposits to lend out. This can help small businesses find funding. If you put money into the stock market, then some company out there will have more capital, enabling them to grow. It may not have as big of an impact as consumption, but saving/investing does more than zilch.

I’ll probably end up saving our $1200 it at first, but chances are we will use the money to pay for some future expense we are planning on incurring within the next year – like having a baby or getting a car once one of them breaks down. We may even give a portion of it away.
