It is amazing how clueless the average American is to the inflation of the dollar that is coming. The dollar is backed by the govt word so really how much value is that? People pay $50k+ for a vehicle to drive to work and back, get groceries. And go $250-400k in debt to live in a nice home on a lot... Clearly we have no idea what the value of our dollar is or what inflation or dilution does to the value.

Me and the wife got ours along with our 3 kids. 3k in total, if the other comes thru what the dems are proposing I'm going to pay off my car and then on to her "pets" her school loans.

I file with Turbo Tax. My refund is sent to some bank which deposits it in my bank. This bank cannot cash my stimulus check and deposit it in my bank account. I found out most people that filed with T.T. have not received their stimulus money. It will need to be filed on my taxes to claim it. I efile with Turbo Tax too and mine was direct deposited. Of course my Social Security check is direct deposited too. Maybe that is the difference?

Clearly we have no idea what the value of our dollar is or what inflation or dilution does to the value. I'm strictly on fixed income. My Social Security check does go up a percent or two but is usually offset by an increase in Medicare payment. My Alcoa pension is the same as I retired 25 years ago. My 401K has grown well and I tap that as required by law. The Dems will be firing up the money printing presses and we will be going down the tube. Down the road a loaf of bread will cost a wheel barrel full of dollar bills. mashable.com/2016/07/27/german-hyperinflation/I'm a short timer here on God's green earth so I'll get by until He calls me home. I fret for my grand kids and great grand kids..

First round was direct deposit, this round said they mailed a check. No clue as to why, but the check came today. Both rounds of mine were direct deposited..🤷🏻♂️

I’m not worried, Dick Cheney once said deficits don’t matter so we’re good.

Right! No worries either way. Mine is just gonna sit there and look pretty on a monthly statement. Replace your outboard with it! Umm...... I think I may have found the only dealer in the state (at least close enough I didn't mind driving) that actually had any real stock of small outboard engines. He actually had several pretty large ones as well. Long story short, I can't get arrested any time soon because I broke into my "bail money" stash in the gun safe. (The joke being bail is cash only) Ended up working out a deal where I got an electric start 15hp Yahama for $60 more than a pull start model. He told me the earliest he could get me a pull start was late April IF there were no issues. I feel old now, but I am quite sure I'll get over that when I'm using it. Still gonna try either the JB weld or find a tig welder to get the old one fixed, it's just no longer a do it now priority. The old one will be kept as a backup or put back on the boat if I sell it.

I have a 15hp Yamaha on my jon boat now. When I was looking up information on it I noticed they had an electric start option for it but the pull start is actually pretty easy. I took it to someone to fix once and the guy commented on how easy it was to pull.

The wife & I have filed taxes jointly for 50+ years. Couple of days ago she received a $600 card in the mail, while I got nuttin!! Looking at IRS "Get My Payment" page, I see that if your stimulus $ hasn't been deposited or mailed by Jan. 5th, then you have to claim it as some kind of a credit when you file 2020 return. Just posting this in case others are wondering why theirs hasn't arrived. That explains why I hadn't received mine then. Daph got hers. I still haven't received my federal return.

I use Taxact for our taxes. I just got an email from them saying our stimulus will be deposited direct deposit by Feb 1, per the govt status.
