Finance Girl: Reluctant Patriot
On Friday, we received our $1,500 economic stimulus payment and a $213 state tax refund.
So, being proud Americans, we spent $3,467 on a new heat pump and $674 on a new hot water heater before the deposits even had a chance to hit the bank.
No need to thank us, America. We’re just doing our part to save the country…and not bake to death this summer…and have a hot shower that lasts more than five minutes…
