Looked at my checking account today and saw that I received my "$600 tax refund" already. Supposedly, the government wants us to spend this... but wouldn't it make better sense if they encouraged everyone to pay off their frickin' credit card debt or use it to prevent their mortgage from foreclosing for another month?

Anyways, I'm applying my 600 bucks to the 2000 I still owe on my new furnace/AC unit. Nothing sexy. I know some of my buddies were looking forward to buying more video games and other frivolous crap.

I got $200-some back. Half went to savings, the other half went toward some badly needed work clothes and shoes. It wasn't much, but I'm poor, so every dollar counts! Haha

I don't get mine until July.

I didn't get mine yet. I'm not convinced I'm getting the full six hundred, but if I do I'm going to put it towards college loan payments.
