My sister got her stimulus today

I think that means I’ll be getting my stimulus tomorrow. Or possibly the next day, but it’s close and I’m excited. I really need that money. My daughter has been costing me so much I need to payoff credit card debt. I don’t like owing a balance. I would have liked to have paid money extra on my loan but sometimes things don’t workout the way we would like them to.

What are you going to do with your stimulus?

im going to buy a backpack blower. so i can blow all the leaves over the creek bank in the fall. they are so much easier to operate than a handheld leaf blower. and the rest im giving to mom and dad to pay off my mortgage faster. i will only spend $300 to $400 dollars and give the rest to mom and dad.

The IRS ( irs.gov ) (make sure you type .gov) has put a portal on their website called “Get My Payment.” Supposedly you can track your check.

I’m going to get some new quality bras and panties.

It’s been a long time since I’ve invested in expensive underwear and it’s so worth it.

That’s what I plan on doing with the extra money,

That and pay down some credit cards.

More than half of it will go to paying income taxes from my previous state and city. I am going to try to tuck away $200 until tattoo shops open back up. I want to have a little fun with part of it. The little bit left I will just hold onto, as I am going to be flat broke soon, after this semester is over.

Cool, what tat are you gonna get?

I want to get a treble clef that contains a bass clef within it. It will be small, maybe 4.5" tall, on the lower part of my left calf. I’m working on a half sleeve, if it can be called that, on that leg.

Something like these:

treble bass clef

But with this cool effect:

I Shall Grab Some Furniture.

Not Much. Not Really into Designing. (Never Really Had The Chance).

Unless You Call, Cutting Out Pictures From Rolling Stone And Taping Them All Over The Walls Everywhere Designing, Then Yes!, I Am a Designer.

I . AM . EXTREMELY . EXCITED . ABOUT . MY . APARTMENT

Not Because of Furniture. But!,

For The First Feeling of Freedom Like That I Have Ever Been Lucky Enough to Have The Chance to Have. (I’m Wandering).

It’s Going to Be Very Humble Furniture. And Not Too Much.

So Hopefully The Stimulus Can Cover it.

Blah Blah… . … :100:

Got ours and went serious grocery shopping. When you have a family the size of ours you put every extra dollar into the feeding. THE FEEDING!

very nice, I hope you get some good finds.

That buys some groceries though don’t it?

Heck yes. My van was packed so full my 18 yearold was trapped in the back until we moved it all. My fridge, freezers, and cabinets are stuffed.

Hell yeah! That’s awesome news.

I Almost Want to Get Really Small Outside Type Furniture.

Most of My Energy in My New Place is Going to Be On Music.

So Furniture is Really The Last On My Mind. But it’s Like The Next Step That Everyone is Talking About. (The Clinic Program I’m In).

So a Bed. A Chair. And Dishes I Suppose. (The Rest Will Be For Cleaning Supplies).

An Extension Cord. (For The Ability to Play My Keyboard Pretty Much Anywhere).

Instead of On The Floor.

N e Hoo.

Once Thus Virus Moves Along. I Will Be Going to Cheap Stores And Find Out What I Actually Will Require. And What I Can Ignore… . … :100:

To the best of my knowledge, irs.gov is the real website for the IRS, so they will not steal your info.

That said, this situation is ripe for scammers. The IRS will never call, text or email you. If you receive anything in the mail claiming to be from the IRS, including a check, verify its authenticity by calling the IRS (1-800-829-1040) before doing anything.

Also, this check is called the Economic Impact Payment (EIP), not “stimulus check,” “stimulus,” or anything else.

I’m doing nothing right now because there’s too much confusion for me. The “Get My Payment” portal seems to be just for people who filed a tax return in the last two years. For non-filers (like me), you’re directed to another portal, which then sends you to another website, which the IRS says is secure.

I’m going to wait at least one week when, hopefully, the process will be much clearer.
