I read an article on the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008, and was disappointed to learn that we won’t get our estimated $1,200 check until mid-May. This means no bolstering our trip fund until we’re nearly ready to depart. But there is a silver lining to this seemingly dark cloud. Our friend, Pete, happened to read my post on the rewards we will reap from the Act. He had a brilliant plan: why don’t we track how we spend our stimulus act monies, and report it via our blog in WTER terms? So, beginning in July, get ready to be wowed and amazed by how we will stretch $1,200 over the course of eight months. Thanks for the idea, Pete!
Who is this “Pete” guy, and how did he come up with such a great idea?!?
