Haha, do you know the Marquez' or do you just enjoy their food?  Good stuff.  Their house sauce on the crawfish is tasty!

    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.

Two chicks at the same time man...

I've seen Cathouse on HBO...I don't think you're going to like the girls that $1000 gets you.

Mnuchin said this morning, a $1,000 an adult, $500 for each kid.  April 6, and then another a few weeks into May.  

Senate had their way with it, and they are saying only up to $1,200 for individuals and up to $2,400.    That’s going to help, but a whole lot of people are going to be fucked.  

It’s an election year - figured they would have pushed for more.

A lot of unemployed strippers at the moment.

Wife and I are going to replace our hot water tank with a tankless model.  Wanted to put it into savings, but I was planning on doing it later this year, and the installer I use is a small business owner.  I suspect the amount of work he usually does is going to be cut in half, if not more.

 

 

Wife and I are out of job because of this shit. So we will use it to pay a mortgage payment. Fucking sucks. Aaaaaaand the wife is pregnant. At least I have beer....

Sucks man, been there done that.

 

The year 1993. Another recession hits, and I get 1 days notice before being laid off.

I come home to the wife with one daughter already in the high chair.

WIFE:  Hey hon, how was your day ?

ME:  I was laid off.

WIFE:  Well............ that sucks... oh by the way I'm pregnant.

 

Fade to drunk......

 

It worked out, have faith, and plenty of alcohol handy.

Just took out a student loan, so I’d probably pay the capitalized interest.  Use the rest for my mortgage, investing, or food

Went through a similar experience when the dot com bubble busted. We had one baby and another one on the way. Shitty feeling but it did change the trajectory of my career for the better.

For now you have beer

Well so far I’ve bought a shotgun, a pistol, a freezer, and a greenhouse kit. 3 of the 4 being local purchases. If Uncle Sam wants to reimburse me, I’ll take it.

I'd like to hear about your kit here, PM another thread wherever is acceptable.

Dunno. Wife bought it off of amazon. The box got delivered today and will be on the front porch for another couple of days before I do anything with it. It’s smaller packaging than I expected for a 6x7x7 but we will see next week, and the box has a 70+ lb sticker on it. 

I'm a bartender, so I'd put it towards my bills since the governor just gave me a minimum 2 week unpaid vacation.

It's weird how things work out. It always seems so dark, and life ending, but it gets better.  It sucked for a while for sure, but if you've got anything on the ball you get thru bad times.  The wife always said, "don't worry we'll be OK...."

Being in the construction industry, every 7-10 years we seem to have dips so you kind of get used to riding the waves.

I'd go to a local cardhouse and shove $1,000 preflop with pocket threes.

Good luck to all of you who are qualifying for this money.  My family does not qualify for help.  Didn't know we had it so good.

The Senate GOP proposal was $1200 for individuals making less than $75k, but less than $1200 if making between $75k and $99k.  Nothing after $99k (for single). 

For couples, $2400 for less than $150k.  Dunno about the phase out or max. 

$500/dependent.

And weirdly enough, the people who need it most (those w/o federal tax liability) only get $600.  Both Romney and Hawley (MO) said fuck that, it won't fly. 

I guess that's couples filing jointly? (maybe stupid question but i've been married for less than a year)

Do you have a breakdown of the individuals that don't file with the IRS?  Genuine question, I'm guessing it's a strange mix

Whelp. There's a leak in the drainage system somewhere under my house. I hope my plumber appreciates this stimulus package, because I won't likely see a penny of it.

My guess is that they are thinking this type of worker are kids or stay-at-home parents working a few hours here and there for extra cash while their parents/spouses are the breadwinners. I'm also pretty sure they don't fully understand how poor a large portion of our country truly is.

So if you make over $100k you get nothing you will like it?

I’m curious on this too. Need to go look at 18 return and see where we fall but no clue what line to look at for married filing jointly.

I saw an article that said AGI. 

I would thank the LORD for the gift and go from there.

I don't think they're being issued by God, so no.
