Whatcha going to buy with your 600 dollars?

[Voyager AL]

I cant wait till may, when the Government sends us all the 600 dollar "mad money". i am starting already to figure out which revolver i'll buy...

 

[Beansie_Time]

Did i miss something? $600?


Edit: Sorry I have been at the hospital for the past week (new baby was born). and didnt catch this on the news yet.

Its on the news. The US Gov is sending anyone who makes under 75K a year, a 600 dollar gift, to stir the economy. 1200 dollars for a family, with under 150k a year. I had heard awhile ago that it was gonna be 800, but its down to 6 now...

May be true if the Senate passes it.

BUT, if it is like the last one. The money was essentially and advance on a tax refund that may or may not be applicable. (As I recall.)

Regardless, I'll put it to good use. Won't be on a gun though.

$600 buys a Ruger Super Redhawk "Alaskan" .454, perfect for any occasion.

 

[DMK]

I thought it was down to $300 now?

Anyway, my last two guns were revolvers (SP101 and Vaquero), my next one's going to be an auto. Most likely a Kahr T40, K40 or a 1911 Commander.

I am going to buy a 6 month CD so I can get it out when the government comes calling for my 600 bucks back the next tax season. Its no gift, it wasn't the last time.

Option 1: Ammo and spare mags.
Option 2: Pay my taxes with it.

As I am self employed, I will probably, as usual, have little choice but to go with option 2.

Not that I'm bitter.:barf:

 

[Shadi Khalil]

"what are you gonna do with yout $600.

Pay the credit card bill for my $700.00 sig.

 

[Slopemeno]

I think RJM called it....

 

[pistola40]

probably try and save most of it... but of course spend some on ammo and a couple of mags.

 

[Peter M. Eick]

Toss it in the bank just to spite the guys who gave it back. Remember this is your tax money they are giving back to you. It's not like its a gift or something.

If I were to spend it, I would use it to pay down the house note since I don't carry any other debt.

 

[Shane Tuttle]

Whatcha going to buy with your 600 dollars?

Since it's proposed that we'll get $1200, I'm going to be the bastard child and stir up the pot....probably going to stick it into a Roth IRA or the like and let it grow for 30 years...

 

[88m53453]

self employed here, so there for pay taxes

 

[armoredman]

I haven't heard anything about that, link anywhere?

 

[Army GI]

I'm gonna but that Springfield GI I've always wanted with extra magazines and 500 rounds of ammo.

For those who have no idea what this is about:

The proposal would give checks up to $600 to individuals, and married couples could get up to $1,200, plus $300 per child, with no limit on the number of children eligible. People with an adjusted gross income of $75,000 or couples who make $150,000 would get less, depending on how much higher their income is above these thresholds.

I will use it to pay for the other taxes that get raised to pay for this scam.

 

[Redneck with a 40]

My purchase probably won't be a revolver, as I see a Marlin 1894 357 mag with my name on it.

I say we give it all to the NRA! Imagine if we did that!
