I know, I’m just trying to take what solace I can in getting some of my money back. Takes (some) of the edge off when I check other forums and see people celebrating being able to blow their stimulus check on a PS5 or Baby Yoda shit or a couple ABUR duals or some other fucking nonsense.
Same. I used to play Magic - before the game got 'woke' this year - and saw a ton of people talking about how they were going to spend their stimulus checks on blinging out their Commander deck, buying sealed product, speculating on Reserve List cards or other stupid shit.
I don't know why it doesn't occur to any of them - the ones with jobs and income right now - to save that money for a rainy day. The last of these stimulus checks, I paid for a minor car repair I'd been putting off, then put the rest straight into my emergency fund.
Saving any money right now is a terrible idea. If you have more than 1000$ in a savings you should be buying gold ASAP. 1000$ won’t be enough to buy a loaf of bread sooner than you think.

you're doing the right thing. (obviously I'm not eligible for stimulus, I work, have always worked, always made enough and paid crazy taxes)
Lack of financial literacy is why so many retard kids think capitalism is bad
They used to teach it in schools. Now they don't want you to know.

But then your money is worth less because of inflation, so you might as well have lost another few percent of your entire income.
Buy gold friends. US dollar isn’t gonna be worth anything here soon.
