Anybody get theirs yet? Ours was deposited today. The Ms. ordered a new Foodsaver vacuum sealer. The one I bought 12-15 years ago is getting flakey. I'm going to order a mortising attachment for my drill press as soon as I can find a battery for my calipers to measure the quill and make sure it will fit. The rest goes into savings. Fuck stimulating the economy.

Not yet. If it's the full $1200 (and it should be, with my income) I might spend a couple hundred on things I've been waiting on. But most of it is going into savings.

Pretty much all of mine will be going to savings and bills since it's due back at tax season.

I'm a non working college student at 30, so, that makes me dependent. I receive a big middle finger from the government.

I know people who have theirs. We're going to put ours on high-ish interest credit cards.

You got it thru mail or direct deposit to where your usual tax refunds go?

Potentially my adult daughter is in the same boat.  We will see ...

i was dragging my feet, on reducing debt, after going into retirement, with no income (haven't filed for SS yet).  With the pandemic, I am paying off all my debts, credit cards first.  After that my car loan.

A stimulus is money injected when the economy is running normally.  Juicing.  This is a fill-in, to replace money that would ordinarily be spent.  When the non-essential businesses open up, I will be happy to work on restoring income to the less advantaged.  I am tired of eating McDonalds ;-)

Like this one?

"Indiana man waiting for stimulus payment finds $8.2M in his bank account" ... I am from the government, I am here to help you ... ;-))

Since a Democrat proposed it, I'm sure it'll immediately get shot down. Can't let the other tribe look good, now, can we?
