Stimulus Incentive Check

[Tex Star Detail]

Bush isn`t a Texan, he`s a terrorist..... lol

But to answer the OP`s post.... My soon to be Ex is getting it...

The sad part of it is that the $1200 I will receive will only cover about 1/3 of the property tax here in the thriving metropolis of Salem, Utah (Population 7000 and some odd).

That is a beautiful part of the State if I recall correctly from my drive by many years ago. Along the mountains?

The property taxes here are killer as well and we don`t have any scenic mountains!

My wife and I are going to Vegas in November to attend the SEMA show.

We plan to save it until then so we have some extra spending cash!

It`s been since the 05 SEMA show that we`ve been to Vegas after going ever year prior to that...I`m dying to get back to my second home!!!

Thanks Uncle Sam for the extra money that you`re going to tax me on anyway!

I like this concept the government is pushing and wish it worked in running my business...

If You`re In Debt And You Know It
(to the tune of "Happy & You Know It")

"If you`re in debt and ya know it, write a check...
"If you`re in debt and ya know it, write a check...
"If you`re in debt and ya know it; let the economy really show it...
"If you`re in debt and ya know it, just write a check!!!"

I wish that $1200 was about a third of my property tax

When you`re talking about that kind of money it`s something you have to be thinking about all year long. You also must have a very nice house to pay $8500 in property taxes. I hope your public schools are first class schools.

I`ve been to all 50 states and I can`t think of a place I would rather live. I look out the window and could hit the Wasatch Mountain Range with a rifle shot. Literally I could take a 15 minute walk and be at the foot of Mount Loafer, 11,000 and some odd feet. It`s beautiful.

He`s in real estate so he better

We do get a lot of services around here too, but we also have a local school tax that is also more than $3k, and yes our schools are rated as some of the best in the country and our school teachers can easily make $100K after a few years

While I`m not a big fan of all the taxation, all I have to do to feel better about it is remember.
Remember when I didn`t pay any property taxes because I didn`t have any property.
Remember when I didn`t pay much income tax because I didn`t have much income.
Somehow, now seems better.

Now, if you want to get me on a roll about taxes, let`s discuss how they are being spent.
Actually, it`s probably better that we don`t.

[GearHead_1]

You make some good points Charles. I am truly blessed and grateful that I have sufficient for my needs.

...FactCheck.org: Is the economic stimulus payment taxable?

Nice find JaredP

Funny how that works out, huh?

Right there with you.

I own real estate, but I am not in realestate...not as a career that is...

Its an ok size house with a decent size property, but its just this small town that really has no businesses to help pay some of the taxes...

I don`t know what I`ll do with mine. We got sort of lucky this year with some enexpected cash flow from a refinance and some really good bonuses, so I really don`t have anything left on my list of urgent purchases. Detailing has been going great and my business is way in the black with several hundred sitting in my product fund for `08, so I think the stimulus money is just going into savings to make it a nice round number and the rest will probably go to pay a landscaper to finish my back yard for me so that I don`t have to. I`m just enjoying one of those rare moments when money isn`t at the top of my list for stress causing concerns. It gives me more time to stress about everything else. lol
