Paying off debt might give you the best returns especially if you're paying a high interest rate. Putting the money in an IRA sounds good too. We just set up our direct deposit plans for our Roth IRA's but the check might be a good time to add a little extra to help us max out our allowance.<br/><br/>@ Tammy - Haven't checked out Fast Pitch but I'll go take a look. Thanks!<br/><br/>@ Asgreen - A little treat now and then can be a good thing. You hear a lot of talk about being frugal all the time but sometimes you have to let go a little bit. Enjoy!<br/><br/>@ Joe - As I just said, a little treat can do you good. Sounds like you're being responsible with the money by saving 85%. @ April – Our check will come direct deposit directly into our ING so we’ll start earning interest once it hits.

Great stuff…

Have you promoted this blog on Fast Pitch!(www.fastpitchnetworking.com)? It’s an online business network that has as one of it’s features a way to promote your blog to their audience of small business owners.
FP was actually just named Website of The Week by MSNBC’s ‘Your Business’ show for small business owners.

If you’re already on another network (LinkedIn, etc.) – no problem. Fast Pitch! takes a completely different approach. Compare Networks: http://www.fastpitchnetworking.com/comapre.cfm

Keep up the good work!

Tammy

I think this is the best time to buy stocks because the rates are super low. I believe her advice makes a lot of sense.<br/><br/>Cheers!

I love ING Direct. I've been a customer for many years, and they really have some great rates. Thanks for sharing. I am definitely looking forward to receiving my tax rebate check. I love ING Direct.
