Whatcha buyin with your COVID Cash?

[PrairieHunter]

I'm going to keep an open mind and see what kind of deals are available as I have a feeling there are going to be a lot of people getting rid of stuff at bargain prices in the coming months.

my wife and I were surprised to get a depoist of 1000 since we are over the cap, 500 for each child. I thought it phased out like the rest of the stimulus so it was a surprise. Going to put it in their 529s

So your telling me you got 500 per child even though you were over the cap?

Bought a new timing belt & water pump for the Tundra. I got 140,000 miles on the old one...

Yes, the rest of it was phased out.

 

[BucksnDucks]

I didnt check on this but was told yesterday the 1200 will be added to your income tax owed for next yr

Seems to be untrue according to the interwebs

Penis reduction I think them 4” slow me down on them hills.

Good to know. My step sons pos "dad" claims he is over the cap. He also claims that if your over the cap you dont receive the $500 I wasnt sure but obviously this is bs. Normally I could care less but if hes that far behind and is over the cap you'd think he could help pay for his sons medical bills.

Isn't anyone nervous enough about the next 12 months enough to save the money? I plan for a year from now, so I'll hold onto whatever I get to cover mortgage while potentially unemployed

 

[mevertsen]

Spent it today. It was extra cash and we had projects to complete, so I don't have to dip into my paycheck.

Finish fencing the property.

Getting ready for 36 or so chickens and 10 more ducks. A lot of meat birds added this year. We also have a producer certificate from the state and sell our eggs and honey.

Some new dog houses.

New tires for my fire wood trailer.

Not eligible, but I thought it was great that the children of parents over the limit get something. Was not expecting anything; it is what it is. My daughter is 31, but she qualified on her own.

Bought new shocks and coils for my pickup. Will also buy new struts and brakes for my daughters car. Pay off the rest of the Home Depot 12 month same as cash account.

No check for me I’m just funding it. Socialism at its best. Enjoy the handout.

I am lame, just put it in my savings account.

 

[Ridgerunner6901]

Gasoline and probably pay a different marine mechanic to actually fix my boat for the second time this year

 

[BigHornRam]

Gave it to my brother. He lost his job when all this started and then couldn't get through to the overwhelmed unemployment office for over 3 weeks to file a claim. He probably used it to pay rent and buy food.

 

[Irrelevant]

I was going to use some of it to pay for a new spotter but @Schaaf talked me out of it

I ended up buying a couple more shares of TSLA (should have waited until today). Wanted some AMZN... but jeesh it's getting spendy. Probably sit on the rest in case some property I wants pops up (good time to pick up the pieces of a fire sale).

Savings/individual 401k/kids savings. We really don't need anything right now and with my wife and I paying rent/utilities on (2) brick and mortar store fronts currently that are closed, yet still paying our employees.... we are waiting on the bank to deposit the small business loan as well.
