Stimulus Checks

[Beer]

Just went to the website to track, apparently I don't exist as when I fill out the form it says it doesnt match with anyone. So thats also not good.

Mine arrived today...well, it was pending when I looked at it.

Probably put into my investments that I'm, I don't know, 100-200k behind on based on someone my age.

That or a couple of car payments.

I'm looking at this the same way. Haven't got mine yet, but when I do initially it's just going to sit in the checking account for a while.

I feel guilty because I got my payment today, but this virus has felt like an economic boom (at least short-term). I am fortunate that my salary hasn't been impacted, but my expenses have plummeted. .

This - plus in 15 years marriage my wife has never had a full time job - for the most part she didn't work at all. Now she's working pretty much seven days of week because of the outbreak in the town she works.

I can't wait to do my taxes so I can send all of it to the IRS.

Hmm, to put the stimulus check (and other funds) towards paying off student loans now or wait and see if Biden has it as a real deal priority? Tricky tricky...

Damn, did they really have to air him out that his actual balance was 13 dollars?

Websites for 8 major banks plus Turbo Tax crashed today from people trying check/access their Trump bucks.

Pay off your loans, get debt-free. Getting all student loan debt wiped out is a fool's hope.

Probably will wind up going that route, not much rush though, currently all federally held student debt set at 0% (or at least all of ours are).

Maybe this would explain why I haven't been charged for my laptop. Just got it from UPS and my bank account still hasn't been charged for it. My bank is definitely not a major bank though.

Still weird that for the last week (since I ordered) it had been registered as a pending charge up until today.

Yup, mine are frozen till November so I won't be giving them a dime.

Do you know if that's all of them or just yours in particular?

Not sure

Not sure

Checked with mine, and they're through Sept 30, so still a pretty nice gap

They're all frozen during the pandemic.

A new federal law, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, provides automatic suspension of principal and interest payments on federally-held student loans through September 30, 2020. These suspended payments will count towards any student loan forgiveness program, as long as all other requirements of the loan forgiveness program are met.
