How to Spend 2008 IRS Tax Rebate Checks

Video Transcript

"Wow, this is a great watch. My name is Danielle Loughran. I am a CPA and I am here to talk to you about how to spend your 2008 rebate check. There are many many ways that you can spend a check and I've got plenty of ideas. The thing that you need to understand is that it is a stimulus check. That means that you were given it by the government to stimulate the economy. So go ahead, that laptop computer that you have really been wanting but you were afraid to buy, put it towards that. Or maybe you just want a really good bottle of champagne and a fun night out with your friends. My personal problem is shoes. I went straight to the mall and got a great pair of shoes. There is lots of other things that you can do. Like I said use it for something that you've been wanting for a while but you just didn't think you had the money to spend it on right now. That is going to be good for the economy. My tailor actually makes fun of me and says my shopping problem is stimulating the economy. The moral of the story is just spend it on something that is going to make you happy. My name is Danielle Loughran. I'm a CPA and I hope you have some ideas on spending your check."
