Stimulus checks

I have been thinking about what to do with the stimulus check we are supposed to get. For sure I won't spend it til I get it in hand.
I hope everyone spends theirs local and in the small businesses of your county or the State of Texas.
First I will pay the tax on it.
After that I am buying 2 holsters. Both from Tucker Gun Leather. Both I really need.
Then I am buying a pair of shoes from a local Lufkin small business owner that I am friends with. I don't really NEED another pair right now but will have it when I need them and he will need the $$s for sure.
Then I am buying 2 Belts. One each from 2 young guys that have started leather work shop here in Angelina County.
If this goes over whatever I get I will still make up the rest.
These things will be my reminder of what our God has brought us through.
If I have some left over I will find a local place to spend it.

How bout you. Any plans on arms or gear???

The legislation clearly states that you will not owe taxes on this check. It cannot be taxed.

For now, I’ll bank it and spend it only as I need to. I need to buy an AR pistol buffer and brace. :mrgreen:

Looking for a NEW good gun belt here and a Freddie's burger, rest in bank.
If I spent all of it that would go on powder and primers.

Since it is my money to begin with, I don't really see it as a gift. I will just put it in the bank and pay bills as usual. It sure was nice of them to give me a part of my money as they spend twice that on raises for themselves and money to their special interest groups like the Kennedy Center.

Being self employed I’ll just put it back into my bank account after I pay the IRS.

Just a little jealous is all. :tiphat:

I'm super thankful to be in a position that I don't need it, but I do wish I could say I was buying a XXXX with my check!
