What you meant to say is that you are too young to have expensive bills =P 

 

Mine is going to pay part of my insane property taxes...

Mines currently pending in my account, but hasn't cleared. 

[sammisox]

Whenever mine shows up I’d like to get a rear bumper. But realistically first I need to do some break work and get my exhaust done because the PO chopped the whole thing off in front of the cat

clear on the 4th.

I thought Congress was still bickering over this COVID relief bill?

 

Either way, I don't expect mine to show up any time soon - not even sure if I qualify, to be honest.  I opt for paper checks so I'm always behind when it comes to the Feds giving me money.  If I do get one it'll go directly to my kitchen remodel.

[MiNi Beast]

$600 bill passed. bickering over "cash act" now for $2000 check, know more hopefully tomorrow as they will be debating it. if already got one before then you should expect to get $600 check same form of payment as before, it is in the hands on banks now. should see it within the next couple of weeks. if do not get one perhaps you would be able to claim this at tax time.

I've been written out of another stimulus bill, so whatever.

your to damn rich.

must be it.   

 

for me it's a big meh.  I've simplified my life so much that it's not a huge deal breaker.  but there are a ton of 18+ people out there that are entirely dependent on their family for survival and not only do they get nothing, the people supporting them get nothing more.  I've got family (2nd cousin?) on my mom's side that are taking care of their down-syndrome kid who's in her 30s.  their life is... challenging, to say the least.  and both this bill and the last purposely leave out adults who are filed as a dependent in their taxes by someone else.  not accidentally... purposely.  as in it's spelled out in black and white.   

[MiNi Beast]

yes that is the "targeting" some are fighting against the bill about. i understand this and know its not a perfect system by any means. i could only hope that there would be other programs that could help.

Both of ours are going to paying existing bills.  Although I've got a good chunk saved to hopefully buy myself a nice new welder and doing some work on the shop.

 

I'm really hoping somehow someone passes the student loan forgiveness thing and we end up with no student loans.  It's been quite nice not having to pay on those this year, allowed us to catch up on other stuff.  Starting out 2021 with our very own medial insurance so already losing my student loan payment to that...  Man being an adult is expensive.

If current outstanding student loans are forgiven, then I want a big check for all of the student loans my wife and I have paid over the last 15 years!

Going right in the bank, along with the first stimulus we got.  We'll just end up owing it all back to the .gov come tax time anyway.

 

edit:

Or.....our outside/inside kitty cat seemed a bit sickly this morning.  Not sure what might be wrong with her, I'm leaving work early today to go home and check on her.  Might end up needing that $$$ to take her to the vet.
