Bills or soap box derby - its a tough call
"Curses to my American express card with no spending limit and no interest but a balance that is due in full each month. And curses to how ever that balance got up to $1600.00 this month when its usually around 600 and I wonder how to pay it every month. Im waiting for next month. Its magic paycheck month. One of the two months a year that I get one whole extra pay check a for the month! Then I want to send it all on materials to make Soap box cars and have a derby, isnt that what every one is doing?"

Screwed by The Man... Again
"According to 'The Man' I make too much money to qualify for a stimulus check. I'm 'single' even though I have a healthy child support payment that goes out every month. I'm 'rich' even though I live in Marin where rent and daily living expenses pretty much negate my six figure salary. I know, I know, you're saying "Boo hoo. Cry me a river, pal." I'm right there with you. I just don't think the national average applies to expensive places like the SF Bay Area or New York. Stimulus checks here aren't going to go very far or do diddly squat (BTW, on the map, dark red is the most expensive in regards to cost of living)."
