By Times staff | Saturday, January 19, 2008 |

Louis Zam, 22, Davenport

“I would buy some shoes and pay off debt.”

Anne Helms, 24, Davenport

“I would get tattoos — get my half-sleeve finished. I would probably save the rest for a vacation to New Mexico and Arizona.

“It’s important for the lower-middle class to have that money to put back into the economy. We work for our money.”

Amy Beeding, 33, East Moline

“We could save up for when my husband gets sent to Jamaica again, and I can go with him.”

Marshall and Betty Cook, 72, Moline

“We’d probably spend it. A quick Band-Aid is all this amounts to, though,” Marshall Cook.

“And that’s only if we get it,” Betty Cook

Jen VenHorst, 24, Bettendorf

“Oh, goodness. We’d probably put it toward our next house — more of a down payment.”

Brad Wray, 28, Silvis, Ill.

“I’d probably save mine. I might put it into my house. Oh, and buy a 30-pack of Old Style.”

Perry Gellerstedt, 28, Andover, Ill.

“I’d probably pay on my truck. Or I could save it for the next time I’m towed from a no-parking zone. That’s expensive.”

Bill Roseman, 35, East Moline

“I’d go to the strip club, and you all can come. I’m not going to be selfish and spend mine on my house or truck.”
