If I get a stimulus check, it's going right back to the Treasury Dept. as part of my Q4 estimated tax payment. I have until Jan. 15th to send it (back). If I get anything back after filing for 2020, I'll buy whatever the gov't. doesn't want me to buy - ammo, ghost guns or privately sold guns.

All of the local businesses where tipping is customary (restaurants, hotels, etc.) have gone out of business. There's no one left to tip.

Keep it for the impending tax hike - you'll need it.

If the government is giving you other people's money and don't need it (income-based social welfare), you should give it back. The folks they took it from would greatly appreciate it.

This money the gov't is "giving" you is as bogus as when they "give" you your tax return money.
Tip the next 5 generations in your family because not only will they pay back every penny but there will be interest on the debt and, the amount of money the govt spent to distribute it. The only people who come out ahead are elderly with no children because they won't have to pay it back.

Even worse if you didn't get any of it. At least if you got a check, you could invest it for your grandkids so they can pay your bills when they come due.

I hate when they call income-based welfare "stimulus." If they were simply trying t provide stimulus (vice wealth redistribution), everyone would get the same amount. Call it what it is.

Here’s a tip. It’s your money, being devalued. What’s 200,000,000 people times $2000 do to dilute the dollar value of your savings?

Like the last stimulus, I will pass on my stimulus to good wait staff. If the service was good, they get a hefty tip. If it is average service a smaller tip, but still not bad. Only abysmal bad service gets a no tip.

If you pay taxes...you should have received one.

Nope, it's income based.

$75k single/$150k married. If you make over that, it's $5 bucks off for every $100 you're over.

^^^ So how much income before you get nothing?
Mine was deducted...but only a quarter or so.
