We just bought a new mattress set last night, so now the way is clear for me to buy my CMMG bargain bin M-4.

If the money even comes, will use it to help pay for airfare to Michigan for the family this summer. If anything is even left over, I’ll put it towards a new daily carry for my wife.

I'm married with children (but not too much like Al Bundy). Anyway, I'm hoping to use it to buy myself a new Dillon 650 XL, and all the associated gear i need to use it. Although my wife may have different ideas. :mrgreen:

I voted save/invest.
We're buying a house that is a bit of an "ugly special" on the inside. I will either put the money into re-flooring or I will put it in savings and let it draw some interest.

I would love to buy a PINK AR-15 so that I could join Linda in irritating Charles. "rlol" (Maybe once Mars is better next year I'll get one.)

Some people call it economic stimulus. Some people call it welfare. Whatever you call it, how are you spending it?

In honor of Eliot Spitzer, the last poll option is for people who are going to blow the money on alcohol or prostitutes or something else the ex New York governor would approve of.
We'll since you gave me no real options I choose the last one. It won't get spent that way but when someone puts up a dumb er a donut poll what the hell can you do.
