What are you buying with your corona-cash?

[tx_shooter]

Putting it into savings until this stuff is passed. Then it is going to pay down some debt.

Disclaimer - before all this stuff started I used my work bonus to order a Prinsu rack and custom valved Kings from Filthy Motorsports. The only thing I am doing to my 4Runner now is vehicle maintenance for a while. Yesterday I got ship notice on all the seals/gaskets/bearings to redo the rear axle shafts.

...adding to dividend paying pipeline stocks. 20% right now.

I'm 'essential' and work is definitely booming right now, but keeping the check just in case for the time being.

Then investing in kitchen remodel to raise our house value so we can sell for more of a profit in the next couple years.

The money is supposed to help out for those who lost there jobs. I have been working so I'm lucky.

I was thinking of buying a fridge for the jeep/4runner but rethinking that purchase in favor of buying something american made. Not sure yet. Stocks do sound good but I've already been buying the crap out of them. Found money is or should be used for fun when everything else is taken care of.

TBD, but likely stonks and maybe a tax stamp.

My wife and I haven't gotten ours yet either but I've heard stories of it being because we went through a company do do taxes (HRBlock).

IF/when we get it it's going to get squirreled away into savings.

I lost my job almost 1.5 months ago due to COVID-19 and so far Washington Unemployment has not sent me my UE payment. With all this free time I WISHED I could put a body lift on the 4th Gen and do the timing belt (and all associated stuff) on the 3rd gen, but that'll have to wait.

Blegh. Annoying. The only good Corona is a cold one with a wedge of Lime IMHO (That too will have to wait until I can afford it)

Double check that IRS has your direct deposit info.

That ship sailed 7 years ago, came back into port, and then set sail again 3 years ago. That's how I bought my 4Runner in the first place.

How I got my 4runner too. Invested $250 into a shitcoin in 2014, turned into $90k Jan 2018

Nicely done. My experience was similar. I try and advise people away from Bitcoin nowadays since they aren't aware that it went "mainstream" 3 years ago and can't expect those almost incomprehensible gains we had in the past. Glad you are not uninformed.

There no such thing as free....some how the government will get its money back plus more from you.. Most likely get hit on taxes at end of year or next year. You some how will be paying it back....there is no free!!! If you buying junk with it, that's not what it for any way. It meant to feed your self or family, pay your rent, pay your bills, save it for when you cant afford to eat it not meant for goof off money.

Remember if you take it, they will come and get it back and then some.. There nothing free from government… where did all that "free" money come from... your taxes...you will be paying it back some how..

And will set sail again. But congrats on your profits.

1/2 inch cordless impact wrench, in the mail! Maybe some tires soon, rest TBD.

 

[nissanh]

For the past month the 4R is driven just 7 miles!
Not sure how the money is going to be spent but like most said, it will be going into the additional tax imposed by the treasury next year!

Not most likely. you WILL. There has never ever been “free money” EVERY stimulus check i can remember dating back to Bill Clinton you paid back on taxes.

Well, a piece of it went for a new driver's leather seat and foam.

I know im fueling this but no you dont pay it back directy. You will have to pay taxes on it as its considered income but you wont be paying it back directly. It just adds to the governments debt and will be paid for as a whole by everyone.

Thats exactly what these checks are here for. They just want us spending money regardless on what is for. This countrys economy runs on us spending money and buying things.




I picked up the little Titanium 125 flux welder from Harbor freight 2 weeks ago. Its a pretty sweet little welder. Its can be had for $180 normally on sale but as low as $160 on a good sale.

Also we Installed a 2" lift on the Tacoma and currently building a updated sleeping platform as well. :cheers:
