poor people spend the money immediately for a very good reason. they have a List of Shit that Needs to be Bought Last Year/Decade. (depends on how long they've been hovering at the broke line.)
new clothes because they've been wearing the same stuff for years or decades and it's falling apart. (jackets, gloves, a new belt, shoes...etc.) car repairs. computer parts that need sore upgrading or downright replacing. an appliance for the kitchen that would make a serious improvement to quality of life...like a microwave. a trip to the eye doctor, or contact lenses because they've been stretching theirs for months when they shouldve been replacing them every month instead of every 4.
this is the sort of reason why poor people immediately spend extra money when they get it. not because they are terrible at saving...but because they are extremely efficient at triaging. they have to be to survive on such poor funds. if you were to give them enough extra funding, and make it a reliable source of extra income, chances are a lot of them would go on a shopping spree for a while to clear said list, then many would start saving up and investing because they know better than to spend well outside their means.

That was one of the things I noticed after the first stimulus check... The local Target wasn't sold out of flatscreen TVs, but the rack of socks and underwear was completely empty. Fucking socks and underwear.

lol, i was looking at an LED screen when the last stimulus check came for my computer because my old one is like 10 years old now, but it was like 200 bucks and i was like...hmmm....
...then my computers 10 year old PSU went out a week after and there went that idea because you can't run a computer without a source of power. so that kind of made the decision for me lol. i may be poor, but i seem to have an uncanny knack for having money when i actually need it.
now if only i also had money for stuff i didn't need for literal survival as well, just for fun...

Trumpy is finessing us more money guys he's just playing the long game. He had to feel them out make them sweat a bit. All we gotta do is kick back and watch the trumpybux roll in while he works his magic.

So 600.00 passed with the promise of more later. I am not political so I'm just going to copy paste what my wife said about more money later..
Hot sexy wife said, "We're only getting $600. If we get more it will be if we win the 2 Senate seats, in the runoff for Georgia.... And after Bidens inauguration in late January."
So yeah, whatever that means..
Something I do find funny though.
Both xbox and ps5 are a few dollars short of 600.00.. is the US in bed with playstation?

I'm glad Trump voiced a plea for 2k per person,think he did it for political chess only but possibly some sense of failure and trying to do better but then I remember the HOURS of stimulus talks I watched over a 6 month period with Steve Munichin the representative of the Trump admin in the talks arguing that anything over 600$ would bankrupt us and disincentivise working which I've said many times now because it is incredibly frustrating but I guess cathartic when the people you're arguing with agree with he idea you had in the first place and try and take credit for it. That's how I feel about the process.

There's not even any for the general public to buy. Every tiny restock they have at whatever store, they're gone immediately. And that will probably remain the case for at least a couple of months. Maybe more, who knows.

Oh no, there's millions more on standby. This was the plan all along.. send out a small amount, make it extremely hard to acquire one, bring up 2000.00 package last minute, and pass it out of nowhere.
