Stimulus check for Reefing

[Sisterlimonpot]

As you say it's not called a savings check, the government wants people to spend it to keep things in the economy running.

The question becomes, do you spend it now, stimulate a minute section of the economy, or do you invest it and stimulate a greater portion of the economy later?

Im starting a stimulus reef.. Send all frags and coral donations to my house and I will display them in my new build. Haha

What’s are you guys getting with your stimulus check? Received mine today, I spent the entire check on a tunze stream 3.

Im getting a bonded pair of Mocha Storms!!
And then its patio season so i'm upgrading a few outdoor furniture items.

Unfortunately I'm not getting a stimulus check, but I'm ok. My adult children have received their checks and I'm thankful for that.

Coming from an adult child.
I am happy I got mine.
I am in grad school and my main source of income was bartending. So although it does suck that you dont get any honey out of the pot. There are some of us who are extremely relieved to have it hit our bank accounts!!

since i've just started my first reef tank i still do need to buy some necessities... first thing that comes to mind are RODI unit and a salt mix.

i think i'll save the rest to stock the tank with fishes/corals once its ready.

but.... thats assuming i get the stimulus payout... i haven't gotten mine yet

Today I found out from my banker that I won't get a PPP loan for our business. I did everything I could as fast as I could. But the money was gone quick. Hopefully there will be more funds allocated, but I'm not betting on it.

I bought a few zoa frags and a bunch of little Koi for my pond. I do want to buy a new sump though for my 20 gallon nano tank but with so many out there I have no clue which to get.

Man, small business are really suffering hard during this time. I am so sorry to hear that you didnt get any. Hopefully if this goes on past summer--yes!

Is there any way for you to re-market your business to an online style? I know a lot of people are getting very innovative

I own a commercial roofing business. We do have projects booked. But our good Michigan Governor has home quarantined the entire state. We can't buy paint or house furnishings, cars, or even seeds to plant in the garden. I did get some fish delivered this week though, chuckle.

You can go to Lowe's, but the paint section and gardening section are taped off due to Covid 19.


Some other fun new restrictions in Michigan:

If you have a 2nd vacation home in Michigan, you can NOT visit that home. Unless you're from out of state, lol.

You are not allowed to use a powered boat on any water.

This will eventually pass.

Got mine yesterday. $500 going into a savings account for my son, $1,000 paid on a credit card (finally paid off the new central heater I had to buy last year), $450 spent to Marine Depot and $150 to Chewy for the cats and the dog. The rest will just be spent here and there as needed.

 

[Kellie in CA]

I allowed myself one little splurge. The rest will go in savings for now.
