      I worked overtime hours all through COVID. The stimulus money that landed I had no control over. Socialist move made by Trump.

          No. At least not yet. It’s still in a savings account towards a homestead I am planning on planting in the near future.

          I donated 100 bucks to a single mother who was struggling during the Pandemic. I donated some of it to the World Wildlife Fund to sponsor an animal. I saved the rest for a homestead I am planning on planting soon.

          That is not important though. It’s my money. I paid for it. My taxes went into the pot. I have an entitlement to the stimulus money. No I do not agree with the stimulus at face value. But the government did ruin ppls lives and forcibly shut down small businesses entrepreneurs while giving big box store conglomerations immunity. It was fucked up. So the stimulus is somewhat justified.

          The stimulus and college dorks who took out a loan willingly are not the same.

            I added money to that pot you speak of. I got nothing back. And you know what, I hope you enjoy it. Now stop being a dick about others getting a hand up.

              Nah I always paid off my own loans. My credit is good all my cards get paid off in a timely and efficient fashion. I’ve paid off vehicles too.

              Fuck those ppl who want me to pay for their bad financial habits.
