This virus has opened my eyes to some things I can help myself ( I am already doing many of these), or use the check to help people in my extended family
Have a place in the home to store food and safety supplies with

1). Three life straws (water purification)
2.) buy one month canned food supply
3.) books to read, and board games
4.) two guns and ammo
5.) 500 hundred in cash
6.) Bike or tennis shoes for exercising and keeping body in shape
7.) Not money related but ( stop all tobacco products and maintain same weight as in high school)
8.) Learn a new skill each week
9.) up to date computer and radio backup
10.) have one day per week where family uses no technology to get used to these times
11.) Cook 90% of meals from home.

This is our first crisis, pandemic (whatever you want to call it) we need to be as prepared as possible for the next one.

By the time us taxpayers get it paid back, it'll be the equivalent of 11,873.45 with penalties and interest.

Hookers and blow. We're all gonna die, we may as well die happy.

Oh, and whiskey.

mortgage.

Use it for things that you have wanted, but didn't have the extra cash to buy

ahhh I waited too long, says "out of stock"

Do you have a Nightforce scope?

It may not matter but....maybe the best thing is to give our children and theirs the gift of less debt and burn the damn check.

Most of it on booze and hookers. The rest I'm just gonna waste.

Pay off debt, stocks, savings.

As luck would have it I have a $1300 repair bill at the Ford garage so there it goes.


Told my wife she should donate hers to the local animal shelter.

your right..................thinking of buying one of these as my retirement home.

Suppressor.

Income/property taxes. easy come/easier go.

Temptation got the better of me last Dec. I put a $1000 Remington 700, then $300 in brass, $200 in bullets, $200 in bottom metal and DBM, and $200 in dies for said rifle all on a (currently) interest free CC.

The $2400 for Momma and me will pay off my toys and a bit of hers before interest charges kick in.

Its tax free.

Bills? More than likely work materials. I remember when i worked for someone else in shops and when income tax refunds came around to all the dumbasses. They all had a new gold chain or speakers. One guy was always struggling because his family only had one car. Tax refund came around and instead of buying another car the guy bought spinning rims for the only car they owned.. Hilarious

Marlin 1894 Cowboy, .45 Colt.

Are you sure? I am expecting to see a 1099 come next January.

A hell of a lot better than some of the ideas I've read. The smoking thing is definitely financial, to the tune of trip after trip to be around(maybe infected) people, & about $200 a month.
Toward the mortgage? Less bills take a big weight off a future financial crisis.

Cash? a big deal IMO, a wad of all denominations could be helpful. Ever seen card machines go down, & folks walking away without what they were trying to purchase? Many bills of each denomination will allow you to pay near exact price without receiving possibly contaminated change.

My list is growing of the things I've learned in the last month & what one needs to have in place for the next go around. Make a list if you've learned!

Does anybody really fuggin think that after this all will be peachy for ever more???

Groceries and keeping the bills paid. Haven't seen a penny of income yet from unemployment. Been almost 3 weeks. .Gov needs to get off it an help or get the fugg out of my way so I can help myself.

Again.... hookers & blow.... good grief how hard is this?

Cash on hand.

Scope

I see jerkoffs like that going down the street frequently. They have their kid's first year of college tied up in the wheels, tires and undercarriage of their jacked-up heaps.

Way to go, Dad, real responsibility showing there.


We have everything we absolutely need besides a stock of TP will probably put the money in the bank or buy some high-dividend stocks with it.

I would like to return to retirement. I don't like working for the government. Too many requirements.

Well, I've stated my views on the future prepper thing. And, I don't do blow.

But hookers & Cialis could be an option. Save a bit for cold beers of course.

Down payment on a ventilator.

got one........20"...2007.........

not even $1200........

Yes, I saw it earlier today but I found this after doing a search.



https://wpde.com/news/local/will-the-stimulus-check-affect-your-2020-tax-return

its only 1200 dollars,, not a million,... that's only two trips to wall marts ,

A new battery for my pickup.......

Unfortunately my wife worked in 2019 before retiring, and she was highly compensated. We won’t qualify for a penny.

power surge the other night......fried the mother board on my Maytag fridge......

$305 so far.......turned it into the power company for reimbursment .......ha ha.....

screw it......new front bumper/winch (partial) on the wife's Lexus GX 460........

I'm thinking about a bow mount Minn Kota or Motorguide for my boat.

Yeah... Rub it in again. Might as well post the photo again as well.

OK........$950 shipped ......2007.........sweet shootin & smooth runnin'.........

Pay my CC off again. I used it on line a lot recently to order people and dog food.

I've been stacking the spare room high with dog food, dry and canned. I just an hour ago told the wife they were emergency rations if this Chinese biological attack looks like it will actually succeed. She told me to find a bunch of powdered milk, so we can eat the "cereal" and order more Chili powder for the "taco meat".

I'm trying to decide if she was serious.

Whatever you guys decide to buy, try and make it made in America or better yet buy local, help out the small business

you have to be kidding me! where the H do you think it comes from. A bunch of little dwarves crapping dollar bills in Washington DC ?
that is tax money or monopoly more like it. if truly monopoly money( just print more) inflation will wipe out every gain we have seen in our life times.
git a clue! Give the f ing thing back with a note saying PAY IT ON THE DEBT!

LOL!

No doubt!



Or two trips to WalMart!

Personally, I don't think I'll ever see it.

The LGS I frequent is closed because our dumb azz governor shut them and all the other gun stores down.

That fuggin' bitch closed all the liquor stores too.

Yesterday.

I got some tar if you got some feathers.

Commie bitch.

Keep it in the bank or, better yet, tear up the check.

Government does not have its own money, it only has OUR money, yours and mine. The only place it can get the money it is going to give you is by taxing you harder to collect it.

Gov't cannot create value, so if government prints more money to give us, all it is doing is diluting the value of the money already in circulation .. aka "inflation." (Which means more $$ buys less value.)

If you take that check, you are going to pay back those dollars, plus some, and the dollars you have afterwards will buy less than they did before you got them. It is basic, basic economics. If the alternative is literally starving, then what you have to pay in the future doesn't matter much, you're over a barrel such that you have to survive now before long term consequences matter, but if you are in a position where you can get by without it, it is cheaper in the long run to not take that money.

Tom

for you poor folk, send yo kids to medical school.

"boolshyte" Techically, yes, that is "tax free" but the rest of your income is going to be taxed at a higher rate to create those "free" dollars. It is just smoke and mirrors.

Tom

That leaves $250.00 for ammo. At least 500 rounds, I would think.

2022 cannot get here soon enough!

1963 steyr mca 30/06.

You tearing yours up, Tom?


If you tear it up, they won't be wanting it back?


Tell ya what. I'll tear mine up the very minute I see that the general populace in inner cities making You Tube videos tearing theirs up...


I sure do not agree with the "stimulus". It's pure communism. But I figure it's the closest thing to a "tax refund" I'm likely to get for many moons.

Really?

A 30-06?


Thats not like you at all.....

I’m gonna buy 24 50-dollar scopes, test them all, then complain about them, one at a time, here on the fire.

Poor folk?

Yeah, $1200 will send your kid to medical school alright...

For about 36 hours.

Quick study?

I was thinking of a list the government would be happy to know I used the money on
1- Build a nice new AR rifle
2- Delete the emissions garbage off of my Powerstroke
3 - Buy a bunch of reloading components

I may give it to my daughter. She is 18 but lives at home, she graduates in May. She is saving to pay her way through college and was doing great. This stay at home stuff has caused her place of employment to close so she is the one in our family that is truly impacted and I am not sure she will get any money out of this. At a minimum I could keep it for use on her education

Move to Texas.

There are so many unanswered questions that I just don't know. I'm not even sure that we will get a check. We aren't suffering loss of income from this. We don't think we deserve it and we don't want it. But we get a W-2 from my retirement so I think we will get a check. Who knows? The Wife and I have discussed this. We are in the home stretch on our home mortgage. About the middle of the Summer it will be paid off. I think we are going to put it on the mortgage. If we end up paying taxes on it next year we have that money stashed away.

I hope your guys will do something meaningful with yours. But around here I expect that we will see a lot of "new" used cars. Mostly Escalades and Navigators and a bunch of new gangster wheels. What bullshit!!! I hope the people that really need it will take it and make good use of it. But that ain't gonna happen!!!

Have a couple young family members that need it more than I do so I'll try to sort it out when I see the money.

WTF? seriously? the world is officially ending...... burn this bitch down

Africans got 350 million, Kennedy center got 25 million for renovations. planned parenthood was fully funded; all really good uses of taxpayer money.

That's our plan. We don't "need" anything, but we'll likely spend it locally, and I don't mean Walmart.

[


Want it to convert to 9.3x62

These things you say we should have I already have , no words on a paper will hold the iron of your word it must come from the man. Quit f**king smoking and you will have all sorts extra money, but it takes the iron in a man not words on paper. Stolen from 10 bears and modified by me. MB

Nice!

6.5 creed-moor. Psych!

All this new money will do one thing.

Devalue the dollar.

Does this hurt those in debt.....or those with cash assets?

It is a redistribution of wealth....when those in debt owe less, and those with dollars are worth less.

This is just occurring to you now?

Why doesn't trump know it? We all do.

No, just raining on the ‘I am giddy cause I’m getting free money’ parade.

Gotcha... Mr. Sunshine......

I want an AR-10 but I will probably owe taxes for 2019 so...

Oh yeah...80 lb

First we see if I actually get one, but that is the general plan, yeah.

Maybe better save the torn up scraps of paper and give those back. It might take an IRS audit to prove you did not "receive" the money, but if you didn't cash or deposit the check, you haven't taken the money, it's not income, so ...

call it civil disobedience.

For me?

Uncle Sam done went and paid for all of my fall non resident licenses for this year....

Thanks Unc

Ain’t gonna get no 1200.00

If I happen to get any of my tax money back I will split it between my daughters who lost their service industry jobs.

The on-line calculators suggest we will be getting enough for a few nice steaks and a bottle champagne. About $150 bucks.

And, that is my plan.

My wife and I should get $2400 total. I'll be putting it in the bank. I don't need it, everything is paid for and I don't really need anything else. But I've got 2 kids who are making house payments and raising my 5 grandkids. Depending on how this works out they may need a little help in a few months. This won't be nearly enough if they were to lose their jobs. For now it looks OK for them.

If I understand this right we won't get a 1099 and have to pay taxes on this. It is supposed to be considered tax refund on 2020 income. But who knows for sure. I don't think anyone actually put much thought into how this was supposed to work

You will stuff your face with taxpayer funds while people are out of work due to the "covid" ? ok boomer

You're going to have cumminscowboy all pissed off.
Have you got a park picked out?

Yep! The meal will be FANTASTIC!!

My wife and I have already donated (roughly) 10x that to the Loveland food bank here in our home town, plus supporting other initiatives here.

I'm guessing you will be getting a full taxpayer check. Whatcha' doing with yours?

Some simple math.......

2.2 trillion dollars divided by 335 million (just rounded).....every man, woman, child.

.......equals $6567 each.

2,200,000,000,000 / 335,000,000 = $6567

$6567 borrowed to get you $1200 (or nothing maybe).

A real bargain.

Financing that ‘additional’ $6567 of debt, for each individual......year after year after year.......on top of the $22T+ already.

Ah, don’t worry about it, Atlas will pay it.

No idea if I will get one or not.... and no idea how much... don't care , wish they wouldn't send me one and if they do I certainly won't be bragging about it here...
I am one of those endangered small business owners, I live in the real world and have no safety net.... not that you would understand

If your work wasn’t interrupted, do you feel obligated to pay it forward to someone who lost work?

[/quote]



I'm guessing you will be getting a full taxpayer check. Whatcha' doing with yours?[/quote]





And your guess would be wrong. You seem to be wrong about a lot of things.....

Yes...


or you could buy a bottle of champagne and a steak and celebrate others misfortunes

The azzholes true colors always shine through..... guess they can't help it?

You can just keep running your mouth, azzhat.

By the way, the meal i mentioned will be coming from Henry's restaurant, in downtown Loveland, Co, via Grubhub. Every Friday night we have been ordering out from a small mom and pop locally.

Calling out azzholes is a never ending thankless job.......

Are the fellas talking about buying toys and bullschit the same ones that complain about welfare checks getting spent on beer, cigarettes, and snickers bars?

I do believe I am going to give it back the the Government...................only in the form of paying back a Parent Plus loan from the kids college. Right now they have suspended interest on these loans so every dollar paid back goes to principal. Some of those damned loans have interest rates of 7.9%. Will dump money into highest interest loans first and try to maximize any advantage. (What we have been doing anyway, just now interest free for a couple months). Just waiting on Uncle Sam to make the deposit now.

I've mentioned before, if needed it will be used to supplement my employees pay.

nealglen37,

I just spent some of the .gov money. I paid for my 6.5mm wildcat barrel to be bored out to 8mm. And while Pendleton stocks had the rifle I told them to cerracoat the barrel while he had it off the action. Shipping included it came to $375.

Good man Butch.... same here....

Or we could simply buy a steak and bottle of champagne and laugh at the little people......

Lever action in 454 casull.

There, fixed it for you. For a self purported small business magistrate, I find it funny that you've zero'd in in my support of local small business for your trolling, yet barrels and guns and ammo get the thumbs up.

And I'd question the integrity and intent of any grown man who thinks they have a say in what another grown man does with his money.

Cant have it both ways.

I’m still on the fence over this check thing for me personally. I have been debt free for years. My life style choices and business practices have put me in just about a good of position for this schit show we are in as I can expect.
I do have friends in the music and service industries that are taking big hits right now. Probably try to help them out, but 1200 bucks won’t spread to far.

But then again, there is always cheap whores and high shelf whiskey.

It's your story and you will tell it as you want.........

The little people will cook your meal for you..... until they can't because your hysterical fear put them out of business.....

Not sure if we'll get anything but if we do, we'll probably donate it to someone/someplace that really needs it.

Sounds to me like he's helping to keep one of his local eateries in business, how is that a bad thing?

Not getting any $ so guess I must just go about life as normal.

Russians not eligible?

Fugg you all! I'm spending mine on a 24 pack of toilet paper!

It's not a bad thing.
Last week he was preaching panic, shut everything down and was basically promoting the hysteria.....when I challenged his position he tried to shame me, like typical liberals do.
Now he claims he is a good guy for using the government check for steak and champagne..... like a celebration.
Then I called him out and shazam he became the socially aware do gooder........and claims he is supporting his local eatery, the same one he wanted closed down last week
Not to hard to sniff out arrogant hypocritical phony's

I may buy two scopes.

American, Japanese or Chinese? hmmmm careful how you answer..... hint it's a trap

There are limits on who can receive any money. I won't get anything; the payment tapers off as your income exceeds various levels to the point where you get $0.00

Leupold.

Oh my
You are going to support Orgonians? what would Flave say about that?

Yup,some of them there Oregonians can't be all bad.

Beav approves of this message.....

I sure hope so,I'd hate to have Beav mad at me.

Don't but sh%t you do not need!

Don't beleive we'll get diddly-squat because we live the American dream and earn lots of money and pay lots of taxes. All the while the denizen's of the hood will spend theirs on tattoo's and fast food.

"Phonies."

You're a hateful little fugger, aren't you! Are you this miserable in real life, or just when you're trolling around here?

Funny my liberal California neighbors say the same thing...... hmmmm

The grammar Nazi thing is a strong play... congrats that hurts......

Oh and yes I am a miserable troll and kick my dog for fun.......

dammit irfubar! please stop with the pictures of the best dog I ever had and lost way to soon. spiting image of my Kita!

Sorry brother.......

$1200 is a good start to an emergency fund so that you're better prepared the next time that this happens.

Good thinking, no downside to being prepared

To the $7000.00 in seed and fertilizer and weed killer diesel parts ect ect.
