Sweetwater had a PRS SE Standard 24 for $499 and since I got a $600 Stimulus Check, why not.

They started direct depositing them last week, continuing into next week. $600 is a joke but I'm lucky to be in the category of people that doesn't need it.

I live in an inexpensive apartment for seniors $550.00 per month, only bills I have are internet, food, gas, power bill and car, life and medicare advantage insurance. So even though my only income is SSI and an annuity my lack of bills to pay leaves me in a good position to support myself so the stimulus is like found money, Now guitars are the greatest pleasure left in my life that I can still enjoy since my accident a few years ago left me in a wheelchair so I occasionally buy a new guitar. In fact I bought this Gretsch G2210 last week.

Congrats! The stimulus pretty much perfectly covers most of my wife and our's rent for the month but I think we're going to earmark the extra cash to getting my wife's family in a van in the Philippines. That sounds weird but I lived there long enough to know how useful it would be.

Me either. They must be going in order of IQ, low to high, or maybe the best looking people are last.

That couldn't be it because you haven't received yours yet and under that scenario you should have been the very first person to receive yours.

I went to irs.gov and checked on mine. The website says it will be deposited to my bank account on May 6, 2021.

I would take a page out of their playbook. If you don’t receive it by April 15th, send them a violation notice demanding thousands of dollars in fines and late fees. Threaten escalating fines and compounding interest if they dare contest your findings.
I received mine today, but apparently one of my kids didn’t count as a dependent.

What a mess all this is. I shouldn't be getting a check. My SSI brother in law doesn't do anything or goes to work and never had any interruption in his life. Whys he getting one? Or my kid working remote and earning 70k? Be nice to see it mostly go to small biz owners locked down. Maybe add it to unemployment to the point of matching their old paycheck but just handing it all out just makes me realize as a libertarian the only satisfaction I'll see from this country is to point and laugh at everyone else as it crash and burns all around us.

Is it crash and burns or crashes and burns? Crashes sounds better but it's so syllable-y. Is it ok to just plural the last word when it's a common phrase?
Happy new year.
Or to everyone is it Happies news years?
