600 Bucks: So Much Money, So Little Time
We ask PC World staffers how they might spend their $600 economic stimulus payment.
Greg Adler, Darren Gladstone, and PC World Staff
Pay Down Debt
Steven Gray, Senior Copy Editor: My first thought was, "Hey, with gasoline at $4.19 a gallon, that's 142.857 gallons of Chevron Supreme with Techron! And at 18 mpg, my 1984 Volvo station wagon can turn that fuel into 2561.6 miles of road time!" But though indulging in hydrocarbons may be both practical and patriotic, I decided instead to do what the government should have done with my windfall (and yours and everybody else's): Pay down debt. I hope that, four years from now, when the next presidential election and the next rebate bonanza coincide, my rediscovered sense of fiscal responsibility will have translated into a manageable financial situation in which reckless deficit spending is only an unpleasant memory.
