Stimulus checks

They are talking about a fourth stimulus check after the covid pandemic.  Our parents have gotten some of this money based on how many children they have.  I think that my parents should give me some of that money because without me, they would not have gotten the check.  But I also know that they pay a lot of money to raise me so maybe they deserve it.  They spend a lot for basic stuff and buy me stuff I want.  They could use if for that.

I also think that it is good to spend that money to pay bills and on necessary things if you really need too.  But if you don't need it to pay bills then it is good to use it to buy something which helps a business make money which stimulates the economy.  Another good idea but doesn't really help stiumlate the economy would be to put it in savings.  Some people like to have it for safety if they lose their job or would get hurt.  And there is always taking a vaction with the money.  Some people save money for vacations.  This would also be a good option.  Another idea would to be to upgrade something with your house.  You could remodel a room in you house or build a shed, or maybe buy a new car.  

And there are some who will completely blow the money and not have anything to show for it.  I suppose they probably stimulated the economy though.

 

What would you do if you got a $500 stimulus check?

 

Do you think your parents should share theirs with you?

  • Good topic and good job replying Drew. I do think your summary could be stronger. The issue is that you really need to educate your audience better about the stimulus checks. Talk about what they are and how many were given and how much was given out. You have to assume that your audience does not know this information.

  • If I had a 500$ Stimulus I would love to put it towards nursing school, and just try the best I can to save up for that. College is really expensive so that would help. Honestly, it's their money and decision, as long as they are putting it to good use and just helping us kids succeed which they are, then that's all you can ask for. 

    • That would be good because that would be helping both your parents and you.  You wouldn't have to have as much money and they would still be helping you but saving them from paying lots of money for your college too.  

  • I think if my parents have that money they will use it for buying me basic stuff and for my necessities. I think my parents are sharing the money with me when they are buying me all the things that I need, so there's no point on giving me the money if they are going to use it on me.

  • I think that my parents would probably keep the money because the government is giving them to make sure they can purchase basic items. If i recived a stimulus check I would probably not use it on what I should but, would enjoy if I got a stimulus.

  • I don't think it is a good idea keep handing out stimulus checks.  The economy is up and running again. It's time for people to go out and get a job. If you feel threatened by the virus  wear a mask.  I understand that some people have underlying health conditions but some people need to find a job.

    • The government is going to go broke if it keeps giving money to people that won't work.  I think people need to go to work to if you want money.  I know you get the money but it comes from somewhere, it is not just free.

  • If I got this stimulus check I would spend it. This is not just free money, you can spend it on anything you want, especially if you have a little financial problem. If someone can choose $500, then they should invest it in stocks or something that helps them make money without doing any work.

  • If I got a simulated check I would save it for something I need or I would buy something that is useful and not a waste of money. I think that we parents should keep it because they have spent a lot of money for their kids. Maybe be something for their kids like a vacation.

    • A vacation would be a good idea for the whole family.  Then everyone can have fun with the money.
