Burning A Hole in My Fake Pocket: Rebate Meme
Jennifer, over at My Organized Biz, tagged me for a meme about rebates.
She asks:
1, If you could do whatever you wanted, how would YOU spend your $600?
2, Is that the same or different from how you actually plan spend it?
We’re *lucky* in that the government has decided, in its ridiculously inefficient and nonsensical way, to throw more money our way simply because I’m married and I have children. So, I’m getting more than the $600.
1, If I could do anything with the cash, I’d spend it in my garden. Plants are to me what shoes are to other women. I’d buy more plants. I can’t help it, it’s catalogue season and my crocuses - crocii? - are blooming. It’s inspiring. So plants and some hardscaping.
2, Realistically, the cash will be used (as it will for most of the country) to pay down debt. Specifically, I imagine that we will apply it towards our tax liability for 2007. As a small business owner and independent contractor, we tend to owe each year. So, thanks to the government, we owe a little less now.
I’m supposed to tag six other blogs for the meme… I’m tagging Mark and Sarit at BizLevity, Chris and Jean at Doing Biz Abroad, Rick and Thursday at One Vote Matters, Tom at 501cFiles, Blain at Talk Stock Trading and Jim at Boss Hatch.
But let’s not limit it to the bloggers. Readers, I’d be curious to know what you’re planning to do with the money… and whether it’s what you want to do with the money!
Oh well. No one ever said being an adult was fun.
