My $600 check arrived this week. If all those billions are going out, I guess I’ll take a piece. But my check equals about one week’s pay, or a little more than a month’s rent. So there’s no long-term benefit right now. At least I need less money now, since I don’t buy gas or put on work clothes every day or pass 47 stores on my way back and forth to an office.
When I began writing about stimulus checks in early May, I didn’t think I’d be so very happy to see mine. I didn’t like borrowing against our future for a few $$$ now. My check still will start out in the bank, as planned. It just might have to come out sooner.
According to these guys at How I Spent My Stimulus, I’m among a quite a few who are forking over America’s future for rent. I did not think to buy a Berretta, though with today’s Supreme Court’s ruling, perhaps now I can.
