Clerical administrator, 27, Miami, Fla.

It's sad to say that my economic stimulus will go to fill up my tank, pay bills that have only received minimum payments because of the prices of gas and food going up and fill up my refrigerator.

I would have loved to say that I had something exciting to do with the money like go shopping for that new pair of shoes I've been wanting for a while now or go on a mini vacation, but that's just not realistic. And I'm sure that A LOT of Americans will be doing the same thing that I will be.
