The talk of how you should spend that much-anticipated stimulus check (pay your debt! save it all! go nuts on Amazon!) has been unending since the government announced its plans to gift taxpayers with a few hundred bucks earlier this year. A new website gives you a sense of what people are actually doing with their money.
How I Spent My Stimulus lets you post a description of your new extravagant purchases or your less-exciting plans to start a Roth IRA and fill your gas tank.
So what did the first wave of check recipients spend their not-so-hard-earned dough on? Butterfly tattoos, Juicy sweatpants, a cereal shopping spree, and, of course, a trip to Chicago to see the New Kids on the Block in concert.

My first thought is I plan on investing my check. But I could really use a new TV. So who knows?
