That feels sort of like GOD saying, LET THERE BE LIGHT! And, there was!
I didn't even have to say ... show me the MONEY, and there was! I was checking my account yesterday to see how much money I can take to Vegas with me, and did a double take when I realized I had more money than I was supposed to have. I wasn't sure if the bank had made an error or what, and I didn't want to spend some other bank customer's money. Hmmm, where did that extra $400.00 come from? The money fairy?
No, turns out, it was UNCLE SAM!
Who knew there was $400.00 in stimulus money just waiting to find its way into my checking account? Not me, I didn't know, and if I had known, I probably wouldn't have applied for it. Who knew the IRS would send you stimulus money even if you don't apply for it? Not me, I didn't know. I was clueless. But, since they are going to insist that I have it, I'm going to give it away. Not only am I going to Vegas (cha ching), but I have lots of presents to buy over the next month or so. A Friend's Birthday, Mother's Day, My Father's Birthday, A Baby Shower, My Mother's Birthday, Another Baby Shower and finally, last but not least, Father's Day! Count them, that's seven presents over the span of 6 weeks. CHA CHING. Since I always give my parents money (nothing says I love you like a crisp big bill) for all the official present giving holidays except for Christmas, that money will be back on the street in no time .... stimulating someone else!
Please note: Even though I have no children, I am fiscally responsible in my own life, and I wish we (as a nation) weren't digging a hole to China, and burying your children's futures in it. Sorry, bout taking the money and running it over to someone else.

That is a very nice surprise!!! I wish one day I would check my bank account and find a billion dollars in there. Okay, maybe not a billion, but a thousand more than I thought I had!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind being stimulated a bit... I better go check my bank account.
ReplyDeleteHah! Yep, gotta love it! I thought I was only going to get $23.00 as a federal tax refund, instead, I got $423.00! Whoooo hooo! I'm still celebrating that surprise!
ReplyDeleteWait! Don't spend it all...my birthday is in September. XL, size 11 shoe, earthtones, please.
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!! Yeah, this time of year just about bankrupts me. We have BOTH my mom's and mom-in-law's birthday PLUS mother's day, PLUS father's day. (Sigh.)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Isn't it a bit like Monopoly and the card that said, "Bank Error In Your Favor?" :-)
