IRS Economic Stimulus Checks are in the Mail. Advice for spending the money

Earlier this month the Internal Revenue Service released additional information on when Americans will receive their stimulus check. This year 137 million Americans will be receiving checks from the United States government ranging from $300 to $1,200. According to the IRS, your check date is based on the last two digits of your social security number.

On May 2nd, payments were electronically transmitted to direct deposit accounts. On May 16^th, paper checks will be mailed nationwide.

Even if you were unemployed the majority of the year, an individual has to have only made $3,000 in the 2007 calendar year to qualify for your check from the government.

The big question remains, what should you do with your stimulus check?

At FreeCareerSearch.com we believe that you should take the economic stimulus check and invest in yourself. Sign up for an online course where you can brush up your resume with more education. Courses can be completed at your own pace, from your home and payments can be kept very low with scholarship and financial assistance available for students. The stimulus check could go a long way in investing in your ability to broker a higher salary in as little as a year.

Applicants with an online degree can anticipate annual salaries up to 27% higher than the same candidate without a degree. The possibilities become endless once you start a path of enhancing the education portion of your resume. Explore the opportunity of making a true investment with your check from the government - the investment in yourself.
