Into savings? Why not spend it while it is worth something? Or buy something that won't depreciate, like gold.
Honestly I will take my check, cash it, drive to Canada, buy lots of Canadian made products, fill my gas tank with Canadian taxed gas, and help stimulate a foreign nation's economy while my country suffers.....just like my government likes to do with the money I send them.
Well, if not into savings maybe I'll invest it in China. That's who our government is probably borrowing it from in the first place. Then down the road my kid or grandkid will have the rent moneys for the everything-that-was-American-now-belongs-to-the-Chinese owner.
Speaking of your kid.... we REALLY need to chat about his British made car and it's shipping to Canada on a Korean or Chinese ship. I need to get it deregestered and tagged for export ASAP. Jen's clearing papers are already a week overdue.
