stimulus check
 

Should get check today...:coolsmiley:

An email notification from my bank this morning indicated my “check” was deposited this morning into my account.

me to got it also:bigbow: is this a gr8 country or what

Ours was deposited last night.

Our grandchildren both got theirs, college students working part time, they are under the poverty level of $10,000. Site says direct deposit checks coming weekly with lower incomes first. Deposits could last through September for higher income..

Smart thinking getting those who need it most deposit first.

So far no deposit for us or kids.

Lets hope we Villagers are one of the last to receive checks if at all. Taking care of those that are struggling, should be taken care of first for sure.
We that live in TV must be at the top 5% earners so lets hope to God we are at the end of the train.

If you are fully retired, IMHO-you should not be eligible for any stimulus $$, you should be able to live on your retirement income, not get a bonus designed for people who are out of work--be a mensch and donate your check-we won't be getting one, income above the guidelines

The government deposit I received today was my regular Social Security, not the stimulus check.
No rush. It will come when it comes.

The point is stimulus. Go stimulate with the funds.

here is nothing to spend any additional income on, but just recurring bills, again we're not eligible for the stimulus

That isn't even almost true. Some of us live just barely above poverty level, and still work to ensure that we can have affordable health insurance. Many people living in the Villages are not yet eligible for Social Security - this is a 55+ community, not a 62+ community, afterall.

The cost of buying a "gently used" home in the Villages is low, compared to where some of us came from, and that makes it affordable for us to buy. The cost of living is also comparably low, especially considering there's no state income tax and, as said, we are still working.

Many of us are living off nothing more than a modest pension, and whatever income we get from working minimum wage jobs in the area part-time.

The stimulus checks aren't lifesavers for us - since we're not exactly "struggling" but they are a huge blessing that allows us a little wiggle-room to get a few odds and ends we were hoping to get, but just had to put on the back burner for awhile.

For us, it might be a new screen door, since our old one was a piece of trash and we got rid of it the week we moved in. Maybe a new bottle of eye cream. A new pair of shorts. And a new pair of eyeglasses, which I am a year overdue in getting but insurance doesn't cover it and I don't have a discount program.

Top 5% = over $290,000/yr
