A Little Extra Money-Making Work Pay Tax Credit

In a few weeks all eligible workers will start seeing a little extra money in their paychecks thanks to President Obama’s Making Work Pay tax credit. It’s all part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

Individuals should see about $400 a year and married, joint filers $800.

OK, I’m a qualified worker. I may even be over qualified. I also file jointly with my husband so I’m definitely going to have a little extra money this year. 

How will I spend all those extra dollars?  Well, here’s my top 5  ”either-or” list of how I’d like to spend my little stimulus package compliments of the Making Work Pay tax credit.

1. Either go to the Bahamas or lay on the beach here on the Grand Strand

2. Either fly to Las Vegas or take the helicopter tour with Huffman Helicopters here on the Grand Strand

3. Either go see a Broadway show in New York City or go see the Carolina Opry here in Myrtle Beach

4. Either go to Paris to shop or visit the Tanger Outlets here in Myrtle Beach

5.Either go to Washington DC and dine at the Inn at Little Washington or go to Crabby Mike’s All-You-Can    Eat Crab Legs restaurant here in Surfside Beach 

Gee, those crab legs really sound good.  I wonder how many crab legs $800 would buy?
