Good thing I already have my bikes complete and won't be tempted.

Well, I got my taxes back in January.

But my REBATE money is funding a new rear axle for my Jeep (shafts, locker, gears).

This all reminds me of this:

A good analogy in case you don’t understand how the tax system works…
.
If you don't understand the Democrats' version of tax refunds, maybe this will help explain it: 50,000 people go to a baseball game, but the game was rained out. A refund was then due.
.
The team was about to mail refunds when a group of Congressional Democrats stopped them and suggested that they send out the ticket refunds based on the Democrat National Committee's interpretation of fairness.
.
Originally the refunds were to be paid based on the price each person had paid for the tickets. Unfortunately that meant most of the refund money would be going to the ticket holders that had purchased the most expensive tickets. This, according to the DNC, is considered totally unfair. A decision was then made to pay out the refunds in this manner:
.
People in the $10 seats will get back $15. After all, they have less money to spend on tickets to begin with. Call it an "Earned Income Ticket Credit." Persons "earn" it by having few skills, poor work habits, and low ambition, thus keeping them at entry-level wages.
.
People in the $25 seats will get back $25, because it "seems fair." People in the $50 seats will get back $1, because they already make a lot of money and don't need a refund. After all, if they can afford a $50 ticket, they must not be paying enough taxes.
.
People in the $75 luxury box seats will each have to pay an additional $25 because it's the "right thing to do."
.
People walking past the stadium that couldn't afford to buy a ticket for the game each will get a $10 refund, even though they didn't pay anything for the tickets. They need the most help. Sometimes this is known as Affirmative Action.
.
Now do you understand?

I just put in 1500 to a cd. Could have built my DJ bike. But my kids futures come first.

Put all 5k into paying off the car.
Now I got an extra 300 a month to go to savings(or bike stuff) instead of a creditor.

[foofighter]

the irony to this stimulus package is that it's designed to promote spending but most of us will be saving

[Red Hot Sloth]

Other than a GD, it will be in the saving category

WTF? Completed bike? Never heard of such a thing!

[mfoga]

I won't be getting mine any time soon. Damm last 2 digits. Plus I owed so I paid taxes which means I have to wait for paper checks. So some time in July I should get my money.

[dstepper]

I thought you had to spend the money on something that stimulated yourself.
