My question is, what do you plan to use that money for?

For me it would pretty much pay our income tax bill that we usually pay every year ($2400.00 is around the average that I have to pay above what the government takes from our income every year).  If it was up to me I would tell the government to keep it and lower my tax bill.

I do realize that some people are probably laid off right now or told not to report to work so their income stream is shut off.  I can understand how that money would help them out.  I am fortunate enough that I'm able to work from home for the most part (I am under quarantine at the moment).  My normal income is not affected by this, but I know that there are countless others not so fortunate.

I'm just curious to see how others would use the money.

Haven’t been keeping up on ALL the Corona stuff. Been tired of hearing about it.  But that is <75k and <150(if married) right? Not those who make That much?   I haven’t kept up but assumed we wouldn’t receive anything.  If we do...Not really sure what I’d use it for to be honest. If we did, I’d probably have to talk my greedy wife into donating it or giving it to family.  Or if she wins, probably some stuff we don’t need or I want.  

Now I did see something for small businesses.  That we may be qualified for.  If that’s the case, then I’d probably just use it for its intended purpose.  But, we are not out of work, so I don’t know if I’d get it or not.  If so, Probably give my guys a bonus or something.  They work their [BLEEP] off and deserve it. 

Hope you’re feeling better BTW and your wife/family hasn’t caught what you have.
