Thanks for this show! I just bought a house.  The first time home buyer tax credit helped make me feel more confident to buy, but this has been a long term goal for me.  While I think that the other buyers home improvement projects will help stimulate the economy, I am taking a more conservative route.  The $8000 will be used to cushion my emergency fund.  If I have learned anything from this recession, it is that my savings will help see me through.  Granite countertops will not pay my mortgage or buy groceries.
