Anyone get their GEORGE W. BUSH pity check yet?

[hyp]

the wait is killing me.  i *think* mine is getting direct deposited, so that should speed up things.  anyone get theirs yet?  the checks are rolling out this week right?

[Ecrofirt]

My dad marked me as a dependent, so I got fucked.

[hyp]

ah shit. my condolences.   :'(

[Ecrofirt]

ah shit. my condolences.   :'(

What REALLY sucks is I'm 22, AND I'm paying him under the table rent. He's not even getting that money back for me because I'm over 17.

[lordmaji]

mine should be here tomorrow.

[FlameOfCallandor]

My parents claimed me as a dependent last year since I was i  college, but I also had to pay income tax. Do I get one?

[Tauntaun]

I can't wait to get mine soon although I already spent it. 

[hyp]

what's everyone spending it on?

i wanna buy myself a KORG keyboard. 

[Ecrofirt]

Nope. same situation as me.

[demi]

I probably won't get one either, qqqqqqqq

[Rman]

No. Unfortunately.  It's going all into my savings anyway.

I'm supposed to get one.  I'll probably throw it into my savings as well. 

[Howard Alan Treesong]

I used to think that George Bush was an idiotic war criminal man-child

but now that he gave me a check for $500 I am voting for John McCain

[Mr. Gundam]

We're putting the $1200 into our savings account.

[Eric P]

i have no idea when i'm getting mine, if it's check or direct deposit

however, i will be blowing it wildly and buying as sexy a monitor as i can afford

[Ganhyun]

Havent gotten mine, so based off the last 2 digits of my SS#, I'm one of the ones who gets it later. (Direct deposit at least, so its not too bad.)

[ShogunOfFear]

Mine will be going toward paying off my truck.  Going without a vacation this year

[Ganhyun]

Based on my SSN, I'm getting my check in effing July. I'll probably just pay bills with it anyway

U must not have used direct deposit for your taxes this year?

[jiji]

No, I mailed a check.  My withholdings are screwed up, so I always end up paying when I file.

If my wife wasn't going to school full-time for her MBA on top of working, we'd use the $1200 on a trip to Tokyo...

No Tokyo for us until late 2009 or 2010... curse you Seattle University!

We went there (Tokyo, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Nara, Miyajima) on our honeymoon in 2006 for two weeks. We both really want to go back and spend 10 days in the Tokyo area.

Awesome, we went to the Bahamas for our honeymoon which we want to go back to as well but we're both huge animu fans and want to get our golden showers on.

Taste the happy. 

[Akala]

I think ours should arrive next week. It will coincide with payday, but I might just hold onto it and blow it in Vegas when I go later this month.

[Akala]

did you get extra money for having a dependent?  my wife and i just had our daughter in february so we could have potentially had a bigger payout, i'm assuming.

You didn't get your federal return because you owed city taxes?

I hope that's not the case cause I'm always late on my vehicle tax, I never even pay that until I have to get my registration.

[duckman2000]

I think so, not sure how it all went down. I am, wisely, not in charge of the family finances.

tauntaun, you're such a positive role model.   

[duckman2000]

I'm also good at spending money. Overseas. 

[TVC15]

I make too much money to get the check.  Which means my TAX DOLLARS are paying for this handout to the dirty poors.

I got a letter today

DEAR TAXPAYER (that's me) - You are entitled to a payment of $600, and you should expect it by 5/30/2008

George Bush

[DJ_Tet]

I got that letter, expecting a check by 5/23.

No check.  Fuck you GWB.

[GilloD]

Notchet. But we had to file an anticipated because my employer was a liar and didn't sent my W2 until last week. I bought Rock Band to celebrate. We'll get 1200 plus like another 1k in taxes back because were dirty poor last year. Together we made like 19,000. This year, we're reach! We'll make like 40 together. That's double last year, plus some. 1k of that is my wife's student fees (FUCK YOU UNIVERSITY), 500$ goes to a "Let's get a nice TV" savings fund. The rest is student loan bullshit. 

[tiesto]

Either putting it into savings or buying a Triple...

She's a cultured upstanding female from a master race, we would disown her if we ever found out.

[siamesedreamer]

More like "Payment to AMEX" check.

[GilloD]

You are too fast demi. I wanted to retract that.

Haha. No harm, no foul. The short version goes like this:

I graduated and worked a shitty job for 8 months. I met my wife. She was going out to Illinois to do her graduate work. I quit my job and moved out with her. I had to take whatever work I could find because we were car-less and broke. Then we moved back to New York for the summer to be closer to the Peace Corps for interviews and paperwork and the like. We were only around for 2 months, so I took whatever I could get again. Then we were back in Illinois, she finished her coursework, I flipped burgers, then we got married and took off for 6 weeks wherein I got Malaria, but had a good time. When we got back, the Peace Corps told us FUCK YOU because they're an understaffed, bureaucratic organization who can barely clip their toe nails without an 8 month waiting period and now we have reasonable jobs where we make more than we ever have before, although less than people who hold 3 degrees between them should. Oh well, it's a start, yo.

[GilloD]

Wait, can you really make like 20 at McD's? Shizz. I think I get underpaid for the amount of work I do, but given that the guy that hired me went way out on a limb, I'll take the shit pay for a year or two.
