America, don't blow this rebate

Congress wraps up the details: $300 for retirees, $600 for most individuals and $1,200 for most couples. But wait, there's more: It's not really free money

The $168 billion economic stimulus package just passed by Congress will ship checks of up to $600 for individuals and $1,200 for couples starting in May. Most households will get these checks, although individuals with adjusted gross incomes of more than $75,000 and couples making more than $150,000 will see less or nothing at all.

I'm not planning my future around this money. We aren't planning any trips or making any major purchases until we have money in hand. I think that is going to be an issue for some people however. We really can't say how the government is going to determine how much our family will get. Seems what we know and what the believe things to be are two totally different views.
