I'd put it in my sports betting account and have it doubled in no time.

    I would invest half of it in low risk mutual funds and then take the other half over to my friend Asadulah who works in securities…

  • Save it to pay the Gov't when they ask for it back on April 15th.

Totally this.

Bottled water and toilet paper.  I should be able to get one of each.

Friend of mine had a good idea - go out immediately and buy a bunch of gift cards to local businesses.

Nintendo Switch, Super Mario Odyssey (for my son), Mario Kart for me, a few bottles of hand sanitizer, and give the remaining $5 to my wife to put in savings.  

I've got no mortgage and no credit card debt. So this is literally free money, which is weird. Probably the first time I have seen such a thing since my high school graduation.

I'll probably buy goats and a smoker.

Would you take the leftover and spend it on a trip to Hawai?

some element of UBI is the only way out of this mess economically. Totally agreed on that point. Figure out how to run it month to month until this peace craze blows over

 

Sounds like it could potentially cap at $100k and people between $75k and $99,999K get less. So don’t be ordering your goodies just yet

That is some bs. I was about to employ some local ladies from the titter with this cheese

Probably this.  Probably would tip like a high roller .

Give it to Filipinos so they can buy food.

$99,999K = $99,999,000

So ChiTownDoc and G650 will get stiffed.  My hemorrhoids bleed for them.

Anyone have an idea on how this would be distributed? By mail? Couldn’t imagine how many people would be going through other people’s mailboxes. In person like the dmv? Would be madness. I wonder how they would find “every” person and their correct address. Clearly the answer is just putting out rolls of guaranteed winning scratch off tickets and limit the purchases to one each-the excitement of scratching would add some....nvm you’d know what you’d be winning.

The same way as the 2008 tax rebate?  While that was mainly to taxpayers, even many of those who didn’t pay or whatever got some money.    If I recall correctly, it was done using either the direct deposit info from those who had that setup with their taxes, or checks through the mail.

yeah this seems about right - for that $1,000 that may be coming my way

I'm pretty sure I got mine by mail. I'd been filing taxes and getting small refunds for about 10 years at that point but I don't recall a direct deposit option.

Holy shit, now its $4,500 per person, including kids. I'd be getting $18,000. I'm just below what is being said here as the income requirement, so I'd get it. I'd pay off my last credit card on which I have some lingering debt and use the rest to replace one of our shitty cars. With what's left I'd eat at my favorite local bars and restaurants to prop them up.

There's been at least 4 proposals:

$1,000/month payment - Romney

$2,000/month payment - Sanders

$4,000/month payment - Kennedy

$4,500/month payment - Bennett/Booker

No CR, but only one of those is going to be passable to Mitch McConnell.

It says $90k for individuals and $180k for married couples. Knowing Surly most of us won’t be getting anything

Yeah, During the presser, the payments over multiple months were brought up.

Oh well.  TBH, I was going to give mine to the servers at my local watering hole.   Will just be out of pocket, now.

I went with the amounts that have been posted. 

There's a lot of different scenarios regarding: one time payment, 3 months at a time, automatic re authorization, etc.

Honestly, I'd wait to see what the Trump/Mnuchin/McConnell plan is before we start talking about $4,500 checks showing up in 2 weeks.

They are not all per person, or per month.  They are all much closer to the same $ amount per household if you read them and do the math, but you are right we may not get any of them thru senate

Reading up on it, that $4,500 is in three payments of $1,500 depending on how things go, maxing out at $4,500.

Senate will pass it.  It’s an election year, Trump really wants it.  Doubt Mitch wants Trump hammering Republican Senators on Twitter every day.

Oh they'll pass it.

The question is how much and for how long.

We already have some Senators "worrying" it will create laziness and will lead to people deciding not to go back to work.  *eyeroll*  But if the plan is April 6 for the first round of checks, they better put forth the plan soon.
