A measly 1200.00 check is NOT going to pay for insurance, utility bills, phone bill, rent, fuel, and food.

I'm sorry you fell for the trap man, that sucks.

But, for me $1200 covers rent, insurance, utility bills, phone, fuel, food, entertainment AND $400 into savings.

I live in an RV and rent a lot, so that's $400/month all utilities included.

Phone is $75 a month, that pays for both me and the wife to have unlimited talk, text, data AND hotspot.

We both drive $1000 beaters that cost $400 every six months in insurance, which is paid in full to avoid extra charges.

Food isn't a major burden if you shop smart and cook from scratch.

I'm sorry you didn't listen to those preaching "Live below your means and prepare for when times are rough".

Pelosi says Direct Payment Check is 600$

She was just interviewed on PBS saying the check for individuals is 600$

I'm sure the government will be glad to add extra zeros to your check....as long as you pay it back LIKE ALL THE BIG CORPORATIONS ARE GOING TO BE DOING YOU BIG DUMMY! It's LOANS they are getting, LOANS! The small businesses gets a grant IF they use the funds for payroll and rent. Otherwise, it's a LOAN for them too!

Geez the stupid burns.

its called a budget.

Metro areas do not typically have many $400 trailer lots

they have massive amounts of apartments

She's not telling all the truth. It's 1200 for singles, $2400 for married couples and $500 for each child based on your filing from 2018 FOR PEOPLE MAKING LESS THAN 75K or 150k for married.

NOW, from 75k to 99k it is probably $600. After 99k for singles you get nothing.

The only reason Pelosi is lying to everybody (or not telling the whole truth) is because she is going to come back and lie to the public that SHE GOT MORE MONEY FOR US PEONS. Yep, she is going to try to take credit for the $1200.

The 1200 check is not supposed to pay all your bills. YOu can use it for food or rent. If you need more, go apply for unemployement ins.

On the nearest envelope, i multiplied 1200 x 300,000,000 and I got 360 Billion...to the people. They're going to spend 2 trillion and the Munchkin guy gets 500,000,000,000 (500 billion) to give to whoever he wants and he doesn't have to tell who he gave it to. So the people get 360 billion and big business get the other 2.14 trillion. Keep your bullets dry.

They want you in debt.

$1200 would buy a fine AR15 and a bunch of ammo. You might even be able to squeeze a handgun out of that, of an economy nature.

Not at round table.

The lowest Disability and EBT payout is much hire.

oops "Higher"

Ask Nancy Pelosi. She's the one holding things up(in more ways than one)

I live on $775 social security retirement. It can be done.

The price of plumage is plummeting.

I will use my $1200 to buy OPs repo'ed car.

Thanxs a million OP!

Toof Fairy.

Check under your pillow.
.

Don't count on it.

Lotta peeps in VA getting $15 in food stamps - if they bother to apply.

Was flash, everywhere is sold out of ammo.

Also you cannot eat either of those things.

Nah, just put fire/theft on it. Leave it in driveway.

If SHTF and you need to drive it, no insurance is least of your worries at that point.

I will sell you an ar15, and 100 rounds of ammo for say,1200.00$

be very careful what you post! use a little common sense.

Flee. Flee, everyone!

To the jungle!!

they are getting loans, moran

There should have been no bailout for Wallstreet this time, especially for Boeing whose gross negligence regarding the 737max has shed innocent blood. Wall Street had their Bailout in 2008 and that Bailout was enough to give every American household 60,000 dollars. You are right, this 1,200 dollar check will do nothing. The only thing that could have helped would have been a check on the order of tens of thousands of dollars or a one time cancellation of all personal debt, but this would have meant that Wall Street would not get a Bailout. Additionally, more would have been able to been given to the Middle Class, but this would have meant the billions in foreign aid sent to places like Israel and Saudi Arabia would have had to been cancelled and billions slashed from corrupt defense department black budgets.

Pay for food and electric first. Next internet. Credit card payments can be deferred in some cases but have to call the credit card company monthly. Rent has been deferred. Mortgage payments can be deferred up to 3 months but have to call lender.

If you're not going anywhere, fuel will be down. Insurance can be deferred if you call and ask for it.

$1,200 per person who filed taxes last year and $500 per child. April 6th.

That's not true, whatever you want to keep (house, car, credit cards, ect....) you must continue paying for even while in the BK, it's up to each person on what they want to keep or let go, pay for it or its gone.

Then they will just bail out the cell phone carriers, cable/tv, Internet providers, Geico, Netflix... On and on...

Fucking bullshit man!

Looks like you were in a shitload of financial problems before Corona came along.

Yep, you may need to get rid of your cell phone, car, cable TV, etc.

As far as the bankruptcy, call the courts and ask them.

Lean on family or close friends for help until this all clears up.

Optimistically, we could see things start to get back to normal in another 3-4 weeks. But it could also take 2-3 months.

There are other assistance plans (medicaid, SNAP, section 8, Obama phones (I think they're still a thing), and cable companies that offer service for low income customers for $10-$20 per month.
