The pole I saw had something like 22% spending it, 59% using it to pay bills, and 13% saving it, with the remainder having no clue what they would do with it. Keep in mind that the people that will use it to pay bills will be spending it too, they just don't know it yet because they are the people that are always in debt. They will use the rebate to pay down credit cards, figure out that they have more credit, and then use that credit to buy something.

Ultimately, I don't know whether or not I'll be spending it or saving it; however, I do know that it will go into our savings account and stay there for a while. Other than our mortgage, we have no debt to pay off, so it will not be going toward "paying bills" or "paying debt". We already have enough money saved to buy everything that I and my wife want over the next year or two other than a single family home, so that isn't an issue either.

I guess I would say that I am going to save it, because there isn't anything more that I plan on buying with it. I already had an AR-15 and AR-10 purchase planned, but I guess getting an additional $1,500 just makes me feel a lot easier about buying them. I'm not going to add anything more to my "want" list and I am not going to ear mark this $1,500 for a specific purchase.
