I filed my taxes but I won't be getting an economic stimulus rebate check. I didn't have an income in 2008. There are other people who didn't earn any money but are recieiving a check. If you filed and received Social Security, Medicare or other government money you qualified.

Unfortunately, as crazy as it is, I fall into the same category as those who earned too much to qualify. As a fledgling entrepreneur all my savings are going into my business, Ideas Unlimited, LLC. Money earned is going into my business. I'm not to the point that I can pay myself an income.

I'm dubious as to whether the stimulus money will have a positive effect on our economy. I hope it does.

I admit that I would love to be receiving a check from Uncle Sam. with the cost of gas ever rising, I would use it to fill my car and keep moving along the road to success.

I hope you use your check to buy something you want, or need, or use it to enjoy a splurge and have fun. If you find yourself stumped and don't know what to do with it, you can purchase my little book(see the left hand column) or even better buy food and donate it to your local food bank.

I hope this works and stimulates our economy. Maybe the next thing we can try is a
program designed to stumulate kindness and being nice.
