Bouns $ from our government

minks · Post by **minks** » Thu Jan 26, 2006 3:27 pm

Well our premier has come through on his province today I got my money. Last year he promised every person, man woman and child $400 per person. This because we have reserve and he wanted to say thank you to us Albertans. I think it a nice gesture. Others think it is a joke but who cares.

Now it is a nice little sum for someone like me who is on a tight budget and is always behind the 8 ball when it comes to finances... soooooo here is my Q to you all.

What would you do with this bonus money?

Spend it for fun?

Pay bills?

Invest it?

Me I would love to spend it for fun

My heart says pay bills

and my brain thinks ooo just put it away until you need it of course it isn't going to gain interest worth beans.

I feel for ya girl.memories are everything. my memories of him being here keep me alive until the next time. you know, there's an old saying, you don't regret the things you did, but the things you didn't. be with the man you love. i lay awake at night thinking of meeting him at the airport.

chonsigirl · Post by **chonsigirl** » Thu Jan 26, 2006 4:35 pm

One day it will the final wait for him, LC. And you will get to be with him always.

Oh, Vancouver, I like that idea!
