has everybody decided how they're going to spend theirs? i'm torn between applying the money to some debt (boring), saving the money for general purpose, saving the money specifically for a new laptop for when i likely start grad school in the fall (also sorta boring), or buying something semi-frivolous (new digital camera?). any suggestions, ideas, or plans of your own?
the irs website has information on the rebates, including a calculator to see how much you'll get (really only deviates from $600 single/$1200 married for people who make over $75K or didn't file taxes or something) based on your 2007 tax return.
it also has a schedule of when the payments are expected to go out. they're basing it off the last 2 digits of your social security number. seems random, but as good a way as any to me. it will also depend on if you filed your taxes requesting direct deposit or a paper check. mine's scheduled for may 9, which is fine by me. time to start spending it in my head!
