Most Americans will soon receive rebate checks from the IRS worth anywhere between $300 to $1,200 or more, and many businesses have already launched marketing campaigns hoping to lure those potential customers.
Yet, many folks will not be eligible for a check at all and could end up in a bind if they've already hit the mall and put extra charges on their credit cards, counting on the rebate cash.
I'm always amazed at how people have to be reminded not to spend money that they don't (yet?) have. The fact that an article was written to remind people of that is pretty sad.
Smart folks will save the money rather than wasted in stuff for the "Jones Fam". If you need to paid bills great, just don't spend $3K to owe $1,500 plus interest to lenders...
