We received a notice over the weekend that our economic stimulus check should arrive “by May 30.” This is very exciting for me, since I figured we wouldn’t see the thing until sometime in July. I’ve always been the primary filer (since I make most of the $$$), and the last two numbers of my […]
If you’re like me, it’s time to make an adjustment in the monthly budget. The dairy that we use is announcing increased prices on milk, cheese and eggs. And the fuel surcharge for delivery has gone up. Again. Not that we mind that much. After all, we like supporting local businesses — especially those with […]
I’ve got a guest post up over at Lazy Man and Money. It offers four investment ideas for your economic stimulus check. Head on over and give it a read!
Also: I have a guest post on paying down college debt over at Generation X Finance. A little bit of insight into how my husband and […]
As you know, many of us are expecting a tax rebate in the next few months. However, as is usually the case when something like this is announced, scammers come out in full force. The latest scam take the form of an “email from the IRS” telling you to sign up for direct deposit to […]
Several people have been asking me how they can check the status of their tax refund, and how to figure out when they’ll get their tax rebate. So, here are the appropriate links from the IRS, answering those questions:

After months of dissembling, Alan Greenspan has whipped out the “R” word. That’s right. Now he thinks we’re in a recession. But he has qualified it. It’s a “pale recession.” Whatever that means. A shallow recession? A not-that-bad recession? A the-economy-is-doing-better-than-we-thought recession?
Greenspan insists, as well, that stagnation is what he expects for the remainder of […]
I’ve been thinking a lot about “economic stimulus” and the tax rebate. The tax rebate, especially, was brought to my attention on Friday when the announcement was made that direct deposit tax rebate payments will start today — ahead of schedule. Tax rebate time will continue through July, depending on when you filed your tax […]
Here at Yielding Wealth, there has been many posts about the tax rebate, and the economy and a possible recession. And, of course, I’ve got many questions along these lines:
There is a lot of debate about whether we are in a recession, and how we can prevent a recession. I want to know: What IS […]
One of the beefs that many mortgage lenders and the National Association of Realtors have had when it comes to “economic stimulus” has been a lack of attention for the conforming loan limit. Now, that is likely to change.
In all the hoopla surrounding last week’s tax rebate announcement, the fact that the new plan allows […]
Not too long ago (last week), I mentioned that a $500 tax rebate idea for stimulating the economy was getting kicked around.
