What have you done for stimulating economy?

I have done 3 things: (1) contribute towards building a new home so a lot of cash was spent on building materials(including value added tax);(2) sold my previous house and had to pay some huge taxes on the profits gained; and (3) import a new vehicle and had to pay high custom duties. 

Obviously govt reducing taxes would certainly stimulate economy.Corporates are also going for cost cutting measures and we too should spend money in a very limited way and thereby prioritising our needs during these recession times would help in stimulating economy.

I find from my experience, traveling is the best variable that promotes spending. Most other activities are constant and may not create additional personal spend. Dining and wining can result in additional spend, but these have limitations of health and time. Just imagine people who can afford to spend more travel more. Whether it is by air or train or by road, travel promotes a better utilisation of capacities in hospitality, results in more print read, gets SPAs active, gets more photography done, gets more taxis hired, gets more hotels occupied, gets more adventure sports organized and what have you. This kind of variable is unlikely when we carry on life going to the same office and carrying out same routine. Therefore, I would count people who travel frequently as those who have done some thing to stimulate. In a sense, Govt can encourage domestic tourism providing tax incentives. This will have a domino effect. Coming to generous tax cuts everywhere expecting that the money spared from tax will flow into spending, I would believe that a fragment would get channeled. But something like a special incentive for spending in tourism etc can be significantly more influential than tax cuts as such. Similarly, there can be incentives for buying educatinoal materials, undergoing professional training, buying fitness equipments and a variety of alternatives to choose from rather than merely buying a house on a home loan. There is a lot of innovation that has to promote spending. Everyone should spend in a variety of ways that will definitely stimulate economy. Govt spending out of printed currencies has serious limitation and has serious adverse fiscal implication including and not limited to hyper inflation in later years.
