We're not getting one, and nor should we. This year has been as good as any recent ones to us financially.
It will go into our checking account and sit there like the first stimulus payment did.
That is the philosophical issue I have with the stimulus payments... most people I know, even our kids, don't really need the money (they have not lost their jobs). I would prefer that the stimulus be targeted to those who need it more... people who have lost their jobs as a result of covid, are behind on their rent or mortgage, etc. But I guess that would be too complicated.
Yes, they get it as a refund on their 2020 taxes.I wonder, in a situation like that, if this hypothetical person filed their 2019 taxes, and it now showed they qualified, if they could apply and get that first stimulus check sent to them?

I'm going to use mine to pay most of my monthly expenses for January, 2021. What will you do with yours?
Like I did with the first one I'll give to people in need and some individuals that do heroic work for animals. I think part of me feels weird about getting checks to be honest.
I like this board because I can say this here, but the fact that I have over 7 figures in investments and the government is giving me money is just wrong
Look forward to passing it on.
I don't think it's wrong. They are putting it into the hands of someone who understands the value of a dollar and how to put it to the best use and that's what is happening here with you, right?
