Stimulus checks, who's received theirs?

Mrs. Mike just informed me that ours was deposited last night.

I intend to send some to my big kid in NC who is a cosmetologist and has been out of work there.

The state threatened their licenses if found cutting hair, even in their own home....grrr

Just checked my account - the funds have arrived. I do not feel stimulated.

As long as you pay taxes and have a ssn it will just arrive,

Got ours today, since it's creating USA debt we'll just apply it to existing mortgage debt to reduce ours...

If you received previous tax refunds electronically, it should show up in your account. Last I heard the paper checks may take quite a bit longer to arrive.

Got it and went gun shopping. No good guns to be found. Bought a fly reel, some new hiking boots and some subsonic 300 blackout ammo.

I'm waiting for mine.

Can't use it for toilet paper, as there is none to be found.

Maybe hookers and blow.

Nope, and we won't get stimulated by uncle sugar.

Received it 4/15 when we serfs are due to the IRS for funds. Ironic.

Will allocate the funds to my upcoming unemployment period - IT contract ending soon. Back to premature Global Corporate world forced retirement.

Our $2,400 Kung Flu money hit last night in our bank. I have nothing in mind to spend it on. I'm still waiting for my $10,000 Princess cruise money to be refunded.

Just got mine. Already gone to credit card debt. I'll be debt free by the end of the year.

We checked on ours and it said that they didn't have our Bank info on file . We haven't gotten a refund in a while so I guess that's why . Wife entered the Bank info so hopefully it'll get deposited soon .

No free cash for us, but that is OK. I hope those that need it get some, and keep the wheels of commerce turning

I owed (and paid) as well and they needed me to enter my bank info (though they debited it two months ago).

Still waiting.

Maybe I'll donate it to the Trump campaign

We got ours. It's almost certainly going to a new water well pump. (Ours is five years past its projected average lifespan, so we're on borrowed time.) We've been debating between $2k for a soft-start traditional pump or $4k for a VFD-controlled constant-pressure pump & controller.

With this it would be "only" $1.6k out of our pockets to go top-drawer, and it's meant to be an economy stimulus, so we're leaning in that direction.

We should be getting a greatly reduced amount plus the ankle biter money

Checked the IRS web site

Oh well

Good news, I found some Ghirardelli dark chocolate/ sea salt caramel eggs on clearance at Publix while grabbing a sandwich. Life is good

Mine hit my account today.

Nope. Haven't filed yet for 2019 as I was only going to get back like $40 so I had put it off a bit.

Also didn't do direct deposit last year (2018 return) as every time I entered our back account info I got an error.

Oh, well, if we do get a check it will go into our local economy for home improvements.
