Hmmm, my choice is not there. I'm going to *stimulate* my money market account and deposit it. Since my wife is going to retire this year, we need to save our $$.

My wife and I are saving ours for a rainy, particularly that rainy day when we are living under an overpass when we are senior citizens because the country doesn't care about it's elderly, and have to buy a days supply of our heart medication. Or not. I understand dog food is getting tastier by the minute. All honesty aside, the money is getting put in our joint IRA.

I think I'll brew up a batch of "Rebate Rye" Red Ale or maybe Deficit Dark Mild to celebrate or maybe just buy a six-pack of Image.

If things go as I hope, I'll be relocating permanently to Wayne and the missus and I will use the "free" money as part of our down payment on a house.

I am not at all convinced it is on the way. I'll believe it only when I am able to deposit to my savings account.
I am fortunate to have a great job that feeds my family well, but music feeds my soul.

I'm gonna use mine to replace the crappy fiberglass shower/tub insert that has cracked and caused the floor joists underneath to rot and ruined the ceiling of the kitchen below it . Getting the wife a nice big garden tub to soak in and do a remodel of the floor covering and the walls as well.. I hope my check will cover it !!

We all know I voted for the "buy it now" on the Selman....but in reality, its going toward putting a new roof on the house. Between that and the tax return my wife insists on getting :roll: we'll have enough.

Don't laugh: when I was working for a finance company a few years ago, one line of business they got into was the financing of manufactured and modular housing. Yes, you can purchase them. You can also purchase modular homes as a pick-and-choose out of catalogs, kind of like oversized lego sets: you pick your rooms and how you'd like them to fit together, pour a foundation, and they are delivered by truck, set in place, bolted together, including things like the electrical plugged together between rooms and water/gas/sewer hooked up at pre made joints, and the utilities lines are hooked up.

Be careful what you ask for: you may receive it in abundance.
