If you aren't up for a nice dose of wannabe hippy politics, just skip this post. If you are however looking for an alternative use of your tax rebate, read on.Our rebate will go into our moving fund, which will sit in the bank for a good long time. What do you plan to do with yours?

Late Breaking News From The Simple Living Newsletter February 1, 2008 - Supplemental Issue #62B READ IT ON-LINE AT: www.simpleliving.net/rebate __________________________________________________________
Dear Friends of The Simple Living Network,
We have some late breaking news -- too late for our January Newsletter, too early for our March Newsletter. Read it on-line at: www.simpleliving.net/rebate
The United States Government is planning to send out rebate checks in the hope that American citizens will immediately spend the money to stimulate the economy, thus avoiding a recession.
At best, we believe this is a band-aid solution for a broken system that will not solve the larger economic problems faced by our country. We believe a short-term fix will not repair larger, long-term problems. In fact, the short-term solution may only exacerbate the larger problems.
As such, we have started the "Don't Buy It!" campaign in an effort to begin a far-reaching conversation that encourages people everywhere to "Wake Up & Smell The Rebate."
Please visit our web site at www.simpleliving.net/rebate and find out how you can participate by using your rebate in ways that the government does not expect -- ways that might actually make more impact than, as the government hopes, spending the money to purchase more stuff and junk.
Visit www.simpleliving.net/rebate today and learn how you can print and post flyers about the rebate bribe, start your own discussion, let others know about the "Don't Buy It!"
campaign, and more.
Together we can change this stupid economy!
Sincerely,
Dave Wampler

We are using ours to hire a local man to do some much needed repair work on our house. Anything after that will go to into the college tuition fund.
No fun spendy purchases for us.
How boring are we? I was surprised to hear that many people were hoping that they would come before the super bowl, so that they could get wide screen TVs. Yeah... like the government would move that fast!
I was also surprised that I was surprised. lol
Well be paying off some credit card debt.
Ours was going to go to our van loan, but the moving fund is winning out every time there is extra cash. If we end up not moving, all of that will be dumped on the van. I can't wait to have Chase Bank out of my life!
