So about that stimulus money this spring…
I was thinking of spending it instead of saving it, you know, doing my duty as a citizen who’s worried about the economy and whatnot. I could spend it on the upgrades to my car that I’ve been thinking about. The remote entry and privacy windows… That would be nice.
I was also thinking that I am still, for all intents and purposes, without a job to call my own. I suspect that a month from now, my current project will be over. Just because I’m looking for work doesn’t mean I’ll get it when I want it. So would it really make sense for me to be worried about a car upgrade and the American economy, when my own American dream is looking kinda shaky? I might not have time for that. That $300 (or whatever it turns out to be) could make a big difference to me when I’m more concerned about a car payment than whether I’m opening my doors with a key. Isn’t part of my duty as a citizen to be a good steward over my finances so that I don’t have to ask anyone to bail me out of a jam? Just wondering…
