A portion to the incoming TKX
The rest to some kind of tropical vacation |
Sure is comforting knowing the taxes deducted out of my pay check every month bought people critical items like rims for there collector cars. Try not to forget there are people on this board that worked their butts off so you could get that check and received nothing in return. Your welcome...
Sorry pal, but there it is.... |

"...received nothing in return..."
I thought most all those in the lower middle class income bracket & below got one of those checks. :confused: "...Who Is Eligible For A Stimulus Check? U.S. citizens and resident aliens who meet income requirements and who cannot be claimed as a dependent on another person’s tax return are generally eligible. Income is based on your 2019 adjusted gross income (AGI). Individuals earning under $75,000 and heads of households under $112,500 typically qualify for the full $600 stimulus payment. Those married and filing jointly or surviving spouses earning under $150,000 usually qualify for a $1,200 payment. If you exceed the income requirements, you may still receive a reduced stimulus payment, but the $600 payment phases out completely at $87,000 AGI for individuals and $174,000 AGI for couples filing jointly..." My wife & I together never made anywhere close to $100,000, much less $150,000. So, for you guys who make more than that, count your blessings. I bought cordless chainsaws & string trimmers/brush cutters, for trail clearing, & clean-up of storm downed trees. Bought some on credit cards ASSUMING the $1400 would get here before the monthly payment is due. Just passed in the House. Not likely to pass the Senate, as is. No, I'm not gonna get political. So there is absolutely NO reason for this post to cause the thread to be locked or deleted, IMO. |

That said who am I tell someone how to spend my money. Anyway, you are correct, I too come here to get away from it all and it just struck a raw nerve. Fwiw I did try to delete it. I will cease fire and return to the shadows. |

61-63, Thanks! It's 50x100 with house 10' off the slab. Living on the bayou, Harvey flooded me in 2017 so I decided to build a shop/house.

2 1/2 foot of water in in. Didn't put as much dirt on the shop pad - big mistake there! |
61-63, Bevil Oaks. I had four and a half feet of water during Harvey.

Ok we're in Countrywood. I didn't realize there was a Pontiac guy so close. I'll send you a PM.

Didn't ask for the money, didn't need it, but have paid taxes for 40+ years and never taken a dime from the government ... so yeah I'll take that check.
I put all mine in savings ..... but I will be taking it back out to pay the $2000 in income tax I owe this year ... imagine that .. they give me the money to stimulate me, and I have to give it back to stimulate them. Usually you have to go a brothel to see this much stimulation :) |
Pretty much every spare penny has gone toward the resto.

Banked it all. Stayed employed throughout, thankfully. Let's see how taxes shake out.

Mine goes right back where it came from, all goes into my personal property taxes.
