• It SUCKED!!

    "I'm amazed at the money most people are receiving!! I, however, with 4 people under my roof, 3 are under 20 years of age and depend upon my income to support them, you know, mortgage, 90% of the food, utilities etc.,received only $630.00! The reason was that only one of the children qualified, and because I had earned so-o-o-o much money blast year I was penalized!!! It does not take into consideration that I worked 1 1/2 jobs to keep everyone afloat!! So I received the same as my single friend, who has no children and has her living expenses paid for by the Travelers Nurses organization she works for. That amounts to 2,200.00/month of rent!!! Tax free!!! Good for her, I do not begrudge her any of that, but don't you think the government could have taken into account the fact that I HAVE to work this much to support my family, and instead of penalizing me HELP me?!!"

  • Darshel, while we can all sympathize with your plight, these are STIMULUS checks, not charity checks. They have nothing to do with how much money you may or may not "need" -- their intent is simply to stimulate the economy.

  • So you got some money you were not expecting, but instead of being happy and thankfull for what you got you are worried about what other people are getting.......You think you are being penalized?

    Sad lady - get back to your job(s)

  • Darshel... It looks like you have 4 or 5 able and healthy 'dependents!' You'd think they could start supporting themselves a little... they'll have to grow up sometime! Better now then never...

  • Was your choice to have a family, much like it was your friend's choice to not have children.

  • YOU REALIZE YOU GOT THIS MONEY FOR DOING NOTHING? YOU SHOULD BE THANKFUL THAT YOU RECEIVED SOMETHING THAT HELPED YOU OUT THIS MONTH. YOU ARE NOT BEING PENALIZED - YOU GOT MONEY FOR NOTHING. YOUR SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT IS WHAT IS BRINGING DOWN OUR COUNTRY. I AM SURE YOUR CHILDREN WILL TURN OUT THE SAME WAY - UNGRATEFUL FOR ALL YOU'VE DONE.
