    Don't make me cry, man. I'm already stressing enough as it is.

    Don't cry. I'm sure the government or other agency will give that stimulus a nice home. Just like they will mine.

    Bill is both a good friend and a bad one.

    Good: Always there for you.
    Bad: Always demands money after each time you see em.

    I don't get a stimulus, but my dad does and he was gonna give me the bonus he got for me being a dependant. He is gonna spend it on a new truck.

    I'm probably gonna get some toys and maybe some weapons.

    On the hope that hyper inflation won't drown us all in the agony of destitution.

    But, it probably will. Hold onto your butts.

    I probably won't get a stimulus. My wife and I never saw the first $600 that was supposedly distributed months ago. If we ever do, it'll go to William and his merry band of bastards named Irs and Mort, but those SOB's are no friends of ours. Screw them all and the horses they rode in on.

    If you qualified but did not receive, you can claim it on your 2020 tax filing.

    Most of ours is going to go to paying down our credit card debt so that we can qualify for a refinance on our home mortgage. We have a fixed 5-year that goes to variable for the remaining 30 (never to go over 6.5% but we're all starring down that inflation chute right now and there's no reason to have to pay an extra couple hundred dollars on our mortgage if we don't have to).

    I’m looking at MP Tigatron as far as trivial stuff goes. Other than that- prob stuff a lot of it into savings or do home stuff with it.

    Is there a suitably qualified Economist on the this forum? How is it USA can continue to print money & re-re-raise the debt celing and not be in super hyper inflation mode by now. Other countries face tough IMF measures.

    half goes to tires. 1/4 to the taxes that went up even tho my income didn't. remainder I'm probably hanging onto for the next unexpected thing I can't afford.

    Bills. A nice tax return is going to help too.

    Might snag a vintage comic book or two.

    In all honesty I'll most likely save it a long with the 2 other stimulus checks I got for a trip to Galaxy's Edge.
