Stimulus check for Reefing

[vetteguy53081]

How about bills? Savings or investing? Or keeping a roof over your head months from now. Not intended for foolish spending. No one know how long this will last...... maybe you do? I sure wouldn't be spend it on fish tank stuff. It's a hobby.....

As mentioned, in fact 15 minutes ago, paid off my daughter's college balance for the academic year. She can now register for her 2020-2021 school classes on her path to pediatric and neonatal nursing !

Hmmmm... I’ll have to agree to disagree. I could hoard it, or I could use it for goods and services thus helps others who need it as well. If I buy something I’m happy, the person I bought it from is happy. I choose to spread cheer.

I believe the check will come due next tax season. I think the conventional wisdom is that it will reduce your refund or write off next year. So you are borrowing against next year's taxes. The government taketh and the government taketh away....

More like the government just printed off some new bills... This will not be paid back.

I wish colleges gave a partial refund for students who paid for a dorm yet they do not get to live in it. My parents tend to use whatever they got to pay for my summer semester.

Early Christmas !! Yes !!

For the moment, we are both working and don't need the money. Ours will be sitting in the bank until we need it for essentials or this mess is over.

I agree and understand. My daughter put in $3100 of her own money in the beginning and Nothing in the form of credits for students unless they're working which has an impact on studies, grades and sleep.

Yeah it is very unfortunate. I have mad respect for those that manage college and have a job as well.

Nope, more like the government just took out a 2 trillion dollar loan that will be paid back plus interest by somebody some time in the future.

 

[Guttersnipe]

Don't want a check. Don't want a thing from the government.

Really? We're all bragging about how we're going to spend money on reef, that we hope we don't have to pay for? Someone's going to have to pay. If you need it for food or Bill's or something go ahead. But really, come on guys. This is a ridiculous thread.

And we wonder why things are so messed up.

Man up, and grow your own. American style.

I didn’t ask or beg for this stimulus check. It just appeared in my account. I’m still working during all of this lockdown.

 

[Mikeltee]

Nope, more like the government just took out another loan for 2 trillion dollars that we be paid back plus interest by somebody some time in the future.

And who loaned us that money? You guessed it. Ourselves... it's like writing an IOU to yourself aka printed off more money that is not backed up by gold furthur reducing the value of a USD. Unless you know of another person that opened up their wallet and pulled out 2 trillion of their spare change of course...

 

[HuneyBear]

I’m going to the bank and asking for it in $1 coins and will bury them in my backyard. That is, once I’m finished with this jar of peanut butter.

I do not believe that they "just print more" otherwise we wouldn't have a national debt and interest payments.

How will the U.S. pay for $2 trillion coronavirus stimulus package?

Where will all that money for massive amounts of health and economic aid come from? Can America afford the added debt?

Being self employed and my business being shutdown. That stimulus will help keep food on the table a little while longer.

 

[CookieRdReef]

Keeping for bills etc since despite working in the medical field hours have cut in half. Maybe just a frag or 2...

Haven't looked into it but isn't it just a tax forward that needs to be repaid upon doing taxes?

Doesn’t have to be repaid
