stimulas package ??

[Counting Days]

maybe its getting paid out in the order that people lodged their tax returns if you lodged early you get an early payment etc

don't know how they think it is going to help economy as sounds like most people are paying off debt not going on a grand spend up

Well DH was a week late putting in his tax, so that doesn't work.

If people are paying off debt such as credit cards, then essentially they are making room on the card for more purchases in the future - therefore spending still, but a bit later on...

The less debt that someone has hanging over them, the more likely they are to relax about spending in the future on non-essential items, so I don't really see that there is much difference in the long run?

Thank god I'm not the only one waiting so patiently to be stimulated. Where is our money!! I want to buy bubby some furniture and DD a trampoline for her birthday. I can't spend if rudd doesn't give it to me. Just trying to be a good citizen, LOL!

Yes we want it to go towards buying an investment property - hurry up and stimulate us!!!

[katkins]

we're not entittled to it. Dh earns over the threshold and I earned under last yr as I was on mat leave for part of the year so effectively didn't pay tax (got all the tax I did pay back). So we miss out. And cause the kids aren't at school yet, we miss out on that.... We miss out on it all. I don't think it's very fair. We get NO help from FTB's and no stimulus payments.

This is the only one i have got Kerrie, even though my kids are at school we didn't get that one either.
