What are YOU going to do with your "Economic Stimulus Check"?

[ScouterMom]

I didn't want to derail Brian's thread on "mr. Fix It" about getting new canvas for his camper, but he got me thinking - what are most of us PUPer's going to be doing with our 'gift' from Washington?  anybody going to spend it on great camping gear? mods for the camper? other fun toys?

Or is it all going to pay bills and exorbitant gas prices to just GO camping this year?

I haven't decided yet - I probably won't get mine until late summer, anyway - but does anyone have any good ideas for their check?

Ours is all going toward bills & gas for the camping reservations we made earlier in the year!

We're putting it towards the principal on our mortgage.

the sooner we pay that baby off, the sooner we can do BIG TIME camping. :-()

At first we were going to pay bills but now have decided to put it toward the cost of our big family camping vacation and to repair our fence and gate:(  that blew down in the last major wind storm.

We're going to use some to go camping sometime in August and throw the rest in our savings. We own our cars and dont have any credit card bills, so that seems logical. I cant think of anything we need for the camper........

Unless you've got a really good interest rate, you'd get a better return by putting the $ against your mortgage principal (unless you have a pre-payment penalty).

GO CAMPING...several times...

Firing it directly at our debt.  All of it, if at all possible.  Meanwhile, waiting for the next round of 5-1/8% fixed mortgages to roll through.
