Looks like another round of stimulus checks getting approved is imminent * 1
    #26842906 - 07/24/20 03:21 PM (3 years, 6 months ago)

Likely another $1,200, although that number has not been written in stone yet.

What will you be spending your money on? Rent? Bills? Groceries? Drugs? A new OLED TV?

Just got my car fixed, $1100. I guess I'll spend the leftover $100 frivolously.

Their negoations have been so incredibly fucked up though. As far as I know the predominant plan is to give stimulus checks on a payroll tax basis. From everything I've seen this means that you only get the stimulus if you have a job which is just asinine but I think republicans know that'd look terrible so they're about ready to give the plan the dems proposed a final negotiation it seems. If they don't do any of the payroll tax or any of that bullshit then I will be very happy people desperately need it and a win for the country is a win for the country even if Trump puts his name on the checks again lol should be signed, your taxpayer money.

Been there, man. In fact it was the best paying job I've ever had. It was a small oil logistics company. I was there for like 7 years. They ultimately filed for bankruptcy and the owner and accounting president were both sentenced to federal prison (100% true story) for fraud.

In their defense I don't believe they set out with the intention of committing fraud -- they just started to lose money and got desperate. Desperate enough to borrow very large sums of money under false pretenses. They kept digging the hole and digging the hole thinking that eventually their fortunes would turn around and they'd be able to pay it all back...welp that never happened. They were like 4 million in the hole when it was all said and done, and they owner freaking fled to the UK for a while before eventually coming back to face his day in court.

Of course I knew about none of this (the fraud) until after the fact

Wow that is nuts indeed for both of you. Like you said it seems like a case where the liquidity dried up and they got desperate to try and keep afloat probably would have sank no matter what. So sad. I really do think that if everyone had been wearing masks this whole time I don't think we'd see all these places closing again

The owner got close to five years and the accounting president got like a year. The owner is still serving his sentence I believe. The owner was living pretty good as I recall -- him and his family had like a 700-ish thousand dollar condo in an expensive part of Houston, wife had a Mercedes SUV and he had a BMW...dude was constantly taking trips all over the world.

I still wonder what it's going to be like when he gets out and how drastically different his life is going to be. His wife already left him. I mean I would think that it would be exceedingly difficult just for him to get a minimum wage paying job at this point, right? Being that he got convicted of fraud and spent time in Federal prison? Part of me thinks he might try to start over overseas somewhere though where he can try to commit some type of scheme or something, because he doesn't strike me as the type who will settle for living out his days in 600 square foot apartment while bagging groceries or some shit.

Yeah it sucks I wasn’t fired but any chance of returning to work right now is slim unless we reopen. The business was doing real well until corona hit. Making good money and I cant work from home so until they reopen I wont be earning a salary and have to burn through my stock portfolio and savings!

Ha, yeah. Wild shit. Hes probably gonna move abroad and find some sketchy business to start or something. Or maybe he learned his lesson :shrug:

My business closed not directly to the Coronavirus but it did have a small factor in the closing. It was mostly because we were making a product that didnt have any need/desire in the International market. Like a restaurant who makes food no one wants :nonono:

Oh well, gotta start all over. It was a great experience and I had a feeling of closure that I really needed. There was plenty of time for me to prepare for the closure of the plant which means a lot to me. When my previous job went under back in 2015, it was a total surprise and it shocked me pretty bad. Not fun times....

Yeah that's huge. Allows you to get a head start on transitioning. When it comes out of nowhere it's such a shock and the person is completely blindsided.

The first one has helped with getting my car fixed and road legal. Still isn't done but should be soon. I still have about 1/2 of what I got from the first stim check.

I've been hoping this next one will happen so I can take a road trip around the west coast/western US. I'll probably only use about $250 of it in fuel/food, I'll be sleeping the back of the car and/or camping to keep things super cheap.

I've been with out a vehicle and stuck in the ghetto for about 3 years now while dealing with immense stress & worry and mind numbing depression...tons of rough shit has been happening in my life the past 3 years, one thing after another and no moment to get away from it all or a way to vent out about it. I've been fantasizing about getting away from this house/town I've been stuck in for a long time now, it'll be nice to finally get my head clear. It'll be super therapeutic for me.


So a long solo road trip making a big loop around the western US is what I'll likely end up using a small chunk of that $ for...I also might acquire a bit of caapi vine with it, I've been wanting to have a session with the vine in combination with mushrooms or DMT for a long time now and it seems like a proper time for it in my life. I might get some chacruna leaves as well for an actual aya brew, I still haven't had a proper full on experience with aya. I might get a strip or two of L too. I don't really dabble with much drugs besides psychedelics and weed. Only other "drug" I might try to acquire is a little bit of something novel like one of the 4 substituted tryptamines .

I'll likely treat myself to some good food/eating out a time or two. I've been on a super tight budget and basically eating the same few meals day after day for a few years now, so some sushi or pizza or Thai from a local place would be a huge treat for me. :drooling:

I'll probably get the windows on my car tinted if it can be done for less than $150

I might buy a cheap bong/dab rig.



Most of it I'll be holding onto tho, I kinda hate spending $. If I don't move to a different town after the holidays I might try to start a small plant nursery hustle/home business, having a little chunk of $ to work with will make it easier to start up.

I'll spend that money on not dying

Our military/police budgets are so outrageous I bet if you cut them in half
for like a month or 2 they could do a full year of monthly stimulus for the same price

Only hope can give rise to the emotion we call despair. But it is nearly impossible for a man to try to live without hope, so I guess that leaves Man no choice but to walk around with despair as his companion.

Sounds awesome, man. I've been fantasizing hard for a nice road trip in the car also. Maybe soon even. Was thinking about hitting a couple of spots in New Mexico -- Ruidoso (seen below), and then after that Santa Fe which I hear is a super cool and really unique town.



Then I'm gonna shoot up to Crested Butte, Colorado (which is five hours away from Santa Fe) which I hear is a magnificent little gem that is still somewhat of a secret (in comparison to Colorado's much more famous resort destinations anyway)

:werd:


I might make it over to Colorado too during that road trip, I was thinking that'd be the farthest east I'd want to go. I have a friend that's moving out there soon and I've never been to that state or that far east from Cali.

At this point it probably won't be until after I harvest my plants tho, since they're going to start flowering soon and I don't want to be away from them for 2 weeks.

But I'm thinking about making a loop up to Arcata...then up into Oregon, maybe Washington, then down through the eastern side of Oregon, through Nevada, maybe out to Utah or Colorado, then southward looping back through Arizona and then towards the central coast of Cali, up the pacific coast highway to Santa Cruz shortly before heading back towards "home". I might also just stick to a big loop around the perimeter of the state of Cali, up the coast to the Oregon border, cross over near Shasta, and then down the 395 on the east side of the sierra. I don't have anything nailed down yet but def will be doing something along those lines.




Something that's not practical, but if I didn't really need the $ for other things in life I'd be trying to build an electric go-ped lol. It's something I really want to do someday in the near future once I'm able to afford it. Building my own all terrain electric go-ped, with like a 5hp+ electric motor the thing will haul ass. It'd cost me around $750 to build tho.
