Then dump the $2K into my IRA. :) We are saving our pandering check (financed by the Chinese), which will be fairly large since we have three kids.

Not exciting, but important, and it will lead us closer to our goals, so it's worth it. Jerry We will put this money toward our health insurance to cover us during our overseas move this Summer.

They shoud've just given us a tax cut; the check/direct dep. thing is stupid. Also, this poll is by CNN, aka liberals. The people that most likely vote on the CNN polls are also most likely liberals, so the answers are skewed.

I would guess that most people who read your blog electronically file, and electronically deposit any refund owed to speed the process...of course, unless you owe money, then you probably haven't filed yet :) That being said, I'm spending my $600 on some high performance fuel injectors, a new fuel pump, and an electric fan kit... all for around 5hp in gains. Gas prices be damned! … if you had your tax refund direct deposited into an account while filing electronically, your “pandering” check also gets direct deposited…so there’s no physical check to tempt you with.
