Default cash handout

I do not approve of the $900 payouts but as it looks like they will go out, I need to know how to spend it.
I will get 450 bucks to spend as I am giving the wife half.
The only thing I can think of is a new compact camera to replace my Nikon that bit the dust, but I think buying lots of Aussie wine would funnel the cash into the economy as intended.
Any comments?

Give it to me. It can help pay for daughter's surgery on monday

If I didn't have medical bills, I'd get the camera but then I can't drink wine so........

I'm not certain what I will be doing with the cash handout. There is not many "toys" that I need these days. I might just leave it in the Mortgage account until I can think of something good that I really need.

No, Brother John, I will not be buying you a pallet of beer.

I don't think it matters. Just spend it on whatever you want or give it away to charity.

I personally will spend all mine at amazon.co.uk

That's a good point you make there.

We were out at a Malaysian restaurant yesterday and our Malayan & Chinese friends all said they would send it to their families overseas.

Makes you wonder how much of it will stay in Aus
