However, maybe you haven’t heard that this is not free money from the government. Rather, it’s a tax credit advance.

The wife and I have decided that we’re going to save our rebate check. We could go out and spend it on something shiny and new, but that wouldn’t do much for us. We’re in the process of saving for a house so maybe we’ll just put it toward that. But then again – we should also start Roth IRAs. The money won’t be here for a while so we have some time to decide. The only thing we’re certain of right now is that we’re not spending it.

What do you plan to do with your rebate check?
