I love my children, by god damn they cost way more than $500 per year.

If you cannot log into your bank’s web portal, the money does not exist.

You have skipped socialism and transitioned directly to communism.

That’s why you have to account for depreciation if you choose to buy a new model.

I’ll probably play it safe for the time being and then start on expensive parts for my Datsun.

My wife checked first thing this morning and let me know it was here. Not that we’re going to spend it, but it’s nice to know it’s there if we need it.

Got mine yesterday and have been looking at new suspension for my car and then at least new tires, maybe new wheels. I keep talking myself in and out of different set-ups though

Mid-level on the suspension, go for not race but better than street. Then go all out for wheels/tires. I’ve driven some cars with race suspension. They are terrible on normal roads.

If you are married or have children it’s a huge plus for these checks.

I’m looking at KYB AGX struts and probably some Mach V springs. Hardest thing is cross shopping to get everything for a good deal and making sure I have the right stuff to make it work. Right now I’m going through 3 different vendors but end up saving something like $ 3-400. Kind of crazy how different the prices are. I have yet to really dig in to wheels/tires

I’ve got parts to do three different maintenance activities on my Datsun but none of them are actually that fun. Heater hoses, steering rack boots, and rebuild brake master cylinder. All these are messy and will result in cussing and swearing on my part.

How much do they cost for 3 months?

So, I heard that this has to be paid back on next years taxes - is that true, or is that fake news?

TLDR: 1 200/per person 500 per child.

I really have not ever done the math. I just don’t want to know, it’s probably in the $500- 1,000/child per month range tho.

As far as I’m aware it isn’t taxed. Essentially the stimulus money was earmarked as part of a 2020 tax credit that is being prepaid now.

Took my best friends BRZ for a spin after he finished everything...Frighteningly quick, but I said “Hey man, I gotta tell ya. I kind of don’t like this” He says, “Yeah, it sucks right? I think I’m going to get rid of it after autocross.” he did.

No, it does not have to be paid back. It is a tax credit for 2020 taxes that they’re paying out now.

If, next April , it turns out that in the 2 020 tax year you earned too much to qualify for this payout, you still get to keep the money.

If, next April, it turns out that in the 2020 tax year you didn’t get the full payout you should have gotten, you will get the net difference as a tax credit then.

We’re getting nothing, so I don’t much care. If I did get a paper check I’m not sure what I would do, cash it or burn it cuz dumbass had to sign the fucking thing

You do not have to pay this money back next year. It is technically a tax credit, but it’s a new credit that didn’t exist before. Basically the government is saying “good news! We decided to give everyone* an extra $1200 on their tax return next year, but we’re going to be nice and give it out now.”

*everyone who qualifies

BRZ. Bought it, said it was too slow. Built the piss out of it, ran well in one season of autocross and ditched it. It was sooooo fast. I have only driven two cars that I was genuinely afraid to push hard. This BRZ and a turbo miata.

The guy he sold it too took it for a TD and let my buddy drive his equally built GT-R which was a neat co-pilot experience.

My daughter just got glasses, around $250, and immediately left them out for the dog to eat. So I already burned through her stipend.

What sucks is that our youngest is already 18, but we claim her as a dependent since she’s still in school. The way the law was written, we get nothing for her because she’s too old, but she gets nothing because she’s claimed on our taxes. Grrrrrr.

I had visions of “what can we buy” when these were announced. My wife (by far the wiser of us with money) quickly quashed those ideas with one statement: “just because the pandemic hasn’t impacted your job yet doesn’t mean it won’t later.”

I had to admit she’s right and agree to put it in the bank just in case.  Wise?   Yes.  Fun?  Definitely not.

Forced induction? Sounds like a blast! The BRZ kinda interests me, but I’d set it up more for backroads driving.

Yep. Jackson racing supercharger Ecutek pro tune all of the hop ups to support those things. I don’t know what suspension setup he went with but it was the hardest thing I have ever driven. Would have been an absolute blast with a softer setup. Dynoed at 310hp! Absolutely SMOKED my stock E90M3 at the time.

They do things like that all the time, or you figure out that they need new shoes or something like every month.

Must be nice. I made too much money last year for a stimulus check. Even though I am now unemployed, I can’t get the additional $1200. At least the ex can get it t he extra cash for having a kid.

It’s weighted (or allegedly was) by your combined/household income. If it’s over $199,000.00, you may get nothing. If it’s over some other number (150k?), you’ll get some by not all. We got more than we thought, but that’s probably because I read the thing wrong to begin with.

Glasses, shoes, books, chickens, hats...he has pretty eclectic taste. I once had a pup get into a case of ammo and try to eat 7.62x39 rounds. Stained my carpet with Soviet gunpowder.

Yea I knew we would only get a small % of it based on my initial read so I wasn’t sad. Fact is despite a 20% paycut for the wife we’re still being paid to provide services that we are skilled at and fine financially thanks to some prudent planning and lack of gov’t bail out expectations   so we’re not in the “Need It” class like airlines and corporate america , we can make it work.

I hope this helps the people that actually need it more than I feel like it will.

Yeah. She was found as a stray, beaten up an emaciated  and would eat everything. Hand towels were the weirdest thing. I’d be walking her and she’d just puke them up.

Question is...are you all going to bitch next year when you don’t get your tax refund?

If I were eligible for either the Jobkeeper or Jobseeker stimulus subsidies were are being offered then I'd be looking at $1,500-$1,800 per fortnight for six months. And the prospect of a tax refund at the end of the financial year....

I typically do not get a tax refund. I’m still confused about how they are doing the math on this and the tax information. I’m not spending the money until I figure that out.

That sounds like quite the build! I’m not sure if I’d take it that far if I ever bought one, but the temptation is definitely there.
