Lol
But surly it means that "poor" people have more money to spend, thus boosting the economy and meaning more money in your pocket........right?
More money for me is great, but not it if it means more money for the poors (there's actually a study on this, and that's very much how a lot of right wingers think).
Yeah, who needs Vegas when the stock market is like this? Hoping to find the next AMD.
Bills and food. I've already had my hours cut, and I would not be surprised if they were dialed back any further.
if it actually happens, and happens within the next few months, its going into savings (our "moving fund"). we've been planning to move by the end of July 2020, so we've been trying to save up... and then this happened lol. luckily, i have a second job and if they dont let us back to our current workplace i can get another one locally without too much trouble - lots of production, supply chain, janitorial work around the area. But fingers crossed, you know?
Seeming more and more likely. I think it's been adequately hammered home that a payroll tax break/credit/etc doesn't go far enough for nearly enough people.
Because they want the poor to remain poor? I never understood this line of thinking. Why would you want to see people in poverty?
I believe it was because they wanted to feel like they're doing better than others.
wow so america is the first capitalistic country to have a basic income in form of helicopter money and the republicans are doing it. how about that.
It will all go to bills/debt
lol jk, if the sources are right, I make too much income to get a stimulus. Sucks on me for *just* making that cutoff.

I'm gonna drop it in my savings account. Have money in there I"m slowly hoarding up so that I can move out of my grandparents and buy all the shit I want all at once. It'll be used for that, or an emergency if something happens.
House projects. Trying to get my crumbling driveway redone this year and this would help out a small bit.
my tv (and ps4) died in a freak way a week ago and now im currently using a 27 inch monitor in its place lmao. so, yeah, ive been researching future proof (not cheap) tvs for a bit now and a check will certainly help cover some of the cost.
if multiple payments, its bills or just putting it away.

I'm already on a fixed income and I would be surprised if I qualify.
If I did, it would probably go to more homestead/survival items to help weather this storm. Stuff like Mason jars, shelf stable food, tools I'm missing, etc.
Along with saving the rest and using it on things like gas or surprise bills.

I'll believe it's happening the moment i see that check in the mail. This is coming from a compulsive liar after all.
Immediately throwing it into my student debt.
Maybe I can actually get rid of all the accumulated interest finally with the interest freeze. I haven't been able to dig into the principal at all the past year.

I'll either put it into savings or donate it to some kind of local relief program for people who are hit by this thing a lot harder than I will be.
Just curious what are the sources saying?
If I do get it, I will use it to pay my 2019 tax bill.
I will use it to build out my van so the next time this happens I can go live in the wilderness for 2 months
