Stimulus check vacuums

[kloveland]

So is anyone buying a vacuum with their stimulus check? I’m thinking about buying a Hoover total home pet from Walmart.

i might get a new aerus lux classic or any old electrolux from ebay

& some genuine electrolux hoses from aerus for my ambassador & 1205

I’ve gave some thought to getting a renewed Kirby Avalir.

 

[kloveland]

Cool! I have Electrolux coming out every crevice lol! I haven’t bought a brand new vacuum in over 10 years. I’ve had plenty of vintage ones and used ones come and go often. Kind of feeling the need to unbox a new one.

I’m refusing my check because I’m gainfully employed.....

But I’m so glad that the rest of y’all have your priorities in check. I’m sure that no one will suffer because you squandered a benefit payment on A FREEKIN VACUUM CLEANER BECAUSE YOU THOUGHT THAT YOU WERE ENTITLED TO DO SO! I’m just sooooo glad that you’re one of the sheeple and NOT a political decision maker affecting the way our country operates. Otherwise, we’d all be huddled in the dark, wearing soiled clothes, eating junk food, but playing with Fabulous Vacuums!

Is it really a stimulus check?

Well..I keep saying it’s purpose is more to rescue many people from financial ruin so should it really be called Stimulus? That term was derived in 2008 to put money in American’s pockets to spend to “stimulate” the economy. While those who don’t need it may use it in this way, it’s purpose moreso this time is to rescue those who have lost jobs or ability to pay for things so the check should be called rescue funds.

With mine, since I’m thankful to be fortunate enough to not need it, we will use it for our niece, who has lost her job and rents a house from us. We will put it towards her rent payments to pay the mortgage on the house....she will be getting one too but it will go further for her if we donate ours to someone who really needs it and we are hoping that she will find work again as soon as restaurants are allowed to open again for full service AND people resume going.

But it is a fun idea to have some pleasure hobby spending if one wants to. No judging here!

Mine is going in the bank. I still have a job, but if this keeps going who knows. Definitely won't be buying any vacuums, but that's just me.

I don't even know if I will get one as I do not make enough money to even file taxes.

I always thought that this check was more of an unemployment check - you had to have a job in order to get it. And furthermore that it was a loan - you had to pay it back. It's all really confusing.

I think the Kloveland’s point was to discuss what vacuums are on our wish lists that we may get with the stimulus, not the stimulus itself.

I’d love a Guardian Platinum again. But it would take a bit more than the stimulus to get one new.

But...Lux Luthor

While it might not pay for the entire thing...That check could make a sizable dent in the price of that Platinum that comes out of your pocket!

[lux_luthor]

You’re right! It would. I am giving thought to it. Lol

 

[crazykirbydude]

I might get a $500 check (17), and if I do, I would only spend about $150-200 and save the rest for a car or other investment. It would be cool to get an extra $500, as I have numerous projects that are half completed due to insufficient funds.

They have a site you go to to get a check. You don't have to do taxes to get it.
It's not a loan.
It's the government were never going to get nation out of debt.
The check is to stimulate the economy with spending money.
I'm paying bills. The sooner things get paid off the better.

I'm stashing it in savings to go towards the down payment for the new house. I have all the vacuums I need. I may do a grocery haul and really finish shocking up. Who knows.

 

[vinvac]

No new vacuums here.

It appears that most will be deposited tomorrow or consecutive Wednesdays.

 

[huskyvacs]

@lux_luthor

Yes, but you can't discuss what vacuums you can get with the check unless you know for sure you're getting it. I thought maybe someone would help out, which is why I posted it, but I guess not.

Les, thank you for that information. You are a great help. I will look into that and see if I am applicable for it. All this gubberment money stuff is so confusing!

 

[human]

It's all in how you look at it...

I could say I pre-spent a total of $30 of my stimulus funds ($17 on a replacement cord winder and $13 on a dozen generic after filters) for my Electrolux Diplomat LX, which I recently rescued from beside a dumpster. Does that count?

 

[electroluxxxx]

Although I don't need the extra money as extra money is always nice, I am still doing what one should responsibly do with it and paying my bills due to the fact that one never knows what the future holds.

 

[kloveland]

I did buy one for $90.00 on eBay new. I did what you did Mike. I saved the rest. Things are going well for me also. I've been moved to the online learning department at my college. I think I'll be alright. But you never know. Always wise to save and I've been saving long before the mess we are in now.
