How Do you Plan to spend your Big Stimulus money?

Today,  el presidente Bush will sign a A huge stimulus plan giving everyone who has a job and submitted taxes a huge gift in the range of 300 dollars to 1200 dollars depending on your status [married, single, high income, low income]. So here's the question you gotta ask yourself. What to spend it on? Get a new or bigger HDTV? Buy all those games for your 360 that you couldnt afford last year? Get a PS3 and get ready for the line up it has coming? or are you just going to save it?

So lets here it, What are you going to spend it on?

[Genuine]

All I know is that if Americans don't spend their money on American products/services, this stimulus package isn't going to stimulate sh*t in our country.

[ps360]

i agree if no one spends their money on xbox and McDonalds we are screwed.

[Genuine]

Actually, no we aren't screwed. But our kids and grandkids could very well be.

[TheExecutive]

lol i wonder how many parts of that 360 you own are made in America... just because its an American company doesnt mean it hasnt been globalized. Do you work for MS? Seriously.

[PS360WII]

It's not about people buying American with the stimulus money it's that the majority of them are either going to pay off some debt or put it in savings which do nothing at all to stimulate the economy. I'm glad the Senate got rid of extending unemployment on it. That was funny so they want to help unemployment by letting them stay unemployed for even longer...?

Unless your buying $600 dollars worth of groceries, a service plan, or home improvement, your money is probably going towards the global economy. You sound like a baby boomer.

Put the money in the bank and save it.
Use it to pay off dept or part of your mortgage.
Try to reduce the interest accumulating you any debts you have, and if you don't have dept, then bank it or invest it.

The problem these days is with a consumer society everyone keep pressuring you to buy stuff you don't really need.
You want to help your country to move forward, then don't be a burden on it. look after your own finances.

Genuine i think if you spend money on an xbox 360.. the only country making money off it will be taiwan;)

[TRGMatt]

Can't say I agree here, guys...Buying a PS3 or Wii in, say, Best Buy has a tangible effect on OUR economy, not Japan's.

Me? I'm picking up a PSP and possibly a XBox 360..contributing to both American AND Gaming economies. Can't wait for my package!

[Genuine]

Then they take your money and buy more Ps3's and Wii's. Who's economy does that stimulate?

[harv052]

That's if you live in the USA or Japan. What happens if you live elsewhere? If Canada, for example and by following your way of thinking, buys 360s or PS3s, we're not helping our economy, but yours and Japan's. Still our dollar is strong...

[ravinash]

fact is if you buy a PS3, then you can buy American made games.
And its the games that produce the money and profit for all the companies including the console creaters.

Besides, when does throwing more money into Bill Gates Cash mountain help anyone in the US. it all just goes to the share holders who just sit on it and say see how rich I am.

so you`re just a nationalist pig? ... that's right stimulate the economy with supporting quality food, life style and all that..can`t you see that its because you have been stimulating all that crap for the last 30 years that now its all going down in flames ?
And the worse is that its contagious and countries like china will probably suffer the same disease in 60 years time

[feejo]

Only for those who have a job, how hugly.

[Rooted_Dust]

If I get the full $600 I'll buy another 8800GT for my Desktop and a portable hard-drive for my laptop.

[DarkSniper]

Upgrade Dark Sniper's car.

$niper

[harv052]

Your 3rd person speaking is annoying.....just stop man...seriously...

[iLemon]

I am going to stimulize my home entertainment center by buying a blu-ray player. :D

[Mc187]

I's puttin it towards bills.

[clrlite]

MS Products are probably made in china where all teh cheap crap is made.(lol i joke)... if i use my money for anything other than investing to make more money, i will definately be picking up a BIG SEXY PS3.
ps. If our kids are going to be screwed it's probably going to be by something other than economics, like environmental conditions due to the stupidity most people this generation and last generation, or the general attitude/ignorance of the masses.

[Tempist]

You, like Congress as G.W. Bush has stated, need to lean to be responsible with money and not spend money like a kid with a new credit card.

YOU LACK FINANCIAL DISPRIN! Put the money in the bank.

[Silver Bull3t]

Hoarding notes (even at the lame rates you can get in a typical bank CD or interest-bearing acct.) when the dollar is losing value so rapidly makes little sense.

Pay off your debts. Then invest.

[bootsielon]

So, if you're an American gamer, you HAVE to buy an Xbox 360 or nothing else, since that's the "American thing to do". I'm sick and tired of this righteous bullsh1t, I'm not buying a product if it isn't up to snuff, whether it came from home or it came from the world's ass.

Xbox 360's RROD completely turns consumers off, and the fact that it has no Japanese RPG which is worth my time, or many other games of the genres that I like and gladly found on PS2, there's no way I'd spend on Xbox 360.

Too bad you're still wrong anyway, since Sony pays many american bills and salaries, not to mention it has plenty of American and European stockholders. Do your research next time, dipsh1t.
