What are you doing with the new stimulus money?

I am going to buy a full size Linespa motorized head and foot bed frame. It’s on Amazon for 349 Plus. I have long needed an adjustable bed and they are so expensive. Also, what if I don’t like it or it does not suit me. Since Amazon is great for returns, I am taking the plunge.

I hope to be able to use my current mattress on it, since mattress are so expensive. Otherwise I will also buy a new mattress. Does anyone have one of these bed frames? I wish I could get a twin size but I am Afraid I’d fall out of bed 😂

My bf bought a motorized bed (he calls it a hospital bed, not sure what the brand name was) on Amazon. He was able to put it right inside his queen size sleigh bed frame. Then he got the mattress from Walmart online. He loves it. His did not cost very much doing it that way. I can't remember what he paid. But my friend downstairs replaced just a twin size mattress for her hospital bed from the local mattress store and it cost her over $3000! She does not shop online. Just buys local. Her whole purchase has been a nightmare.

😂 Honestly, you might make too much money anyway, it’s just it’s poor folk that are getting it. For once, not having money has PAID off. 🤣

how do you know I'm not poor...? :sneaky:

seriously tho'...there's a lot of poor people here who've lost their jobs during this pandemic..hundreds of thousands, those guys some of them are coping on £74 unemployment benefit money if they're single... and about £150 for a couple without children... they could definitely do with some extra money...

How do I know you are not poor? Hmm, good point. I don’t. You buy a lot of stuff so you could just be deeply in debt, but you are not an American. Debt is the American way of life. 🤣.

Very few people have so much money that they could not use a little extra, IMO. How is it that the British don’t resent the outrageous expense of that royal wedding? Those two should have to donate an equal amount of money to the poor of your country. IMO.
 
Oh really believe me debt is just as much a British way of life too... maxed out CC's.. people driving cars they can't afford and so on...especially with the younger generation who seem to believe that if they want it they ust have it now.. and Bankruptcy nowadays is so easy to have, and doesn't stain their credit ratings for too long.. and not shameful as it once was... Fortunately, I don't owe anyone a penny, I buy within my means..I don't have any debt...thank God...

Oh please don't ask about the cost of outrageous extravagant weddings it might turn dirty.... :ROFLMAO:

Well, the cost I heard was 38 million, but I haven’t googled it. I owe money on a credit card due to money pit of a house, and on a car, and on a house and to the vet. 😂. I am a true American. 😍
 
We do have stimulus money here in Sweden but it's mostly directed towards companies. People who are put on short time receive compensation for a big part of their loss of earnings through government funding which is channeled through their employer. People who have lost their jobs get unemployment benefit through the usual national channels. I guess that this is probably quite different to the USA.

I bought an adjustable Queen bed with my last stimulus check 🙂 . I do not remember the brand. It was more expensive than the check covered but it was totally worth it. I love it...
Good luck and treat yourself..you are worth

I hate to rain on these dreams but when are we suppose to receive this stimulus check? Last time there was a huge delay for many. I gave mine to one of my grown children because she didn't get one.

yes we have furlough money here too.. but not for anyone who has lost their job... or anyone else other than than those who are working from home who are still employed, and of course that is just their usual wage... no extra
 
I have decided I will give some of mine to charity..lol I was inspired by those of you who gave away your money and felt kind of guilty
Thank You for reminding me 😊
