[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the "poor millionaire" -- I feel for you, but I don't see how a couple of thousand dollars could help your family much, since I assume you have a much higher quality -- and cost -- of living than most of us. For us, the stimulus payment made a huge difference because our rent is low and we are used to scraping by. Not saying that to pile on you, just saying.[/quote]

I feel bad about the poor millionaire joke. But it's true and we cannot touch that IRA unless it's a medical emergency. That money is for when we really retire. I said it in jest not in a bragging way. We are not wealthy. We are just debt free. Our monthly bills are under $2000. That includes food. When jobs started to go I put a stop to all frivolous shopping. Priorities only.

We can handle our expenses it's family needing help that's crushing us. If another round of stimulus came through, that would get everyone kinda sorta caught up and we would split ours with all of them. It would relieve some stress.

I forgot, my sister did not have her deductible for her hip replacement, we paid for that too. All this happened at the same time. The first round of stimulus came and it helped immensely. Everyone took care of immediate needs. Another one would slow our flow for a few months until everyone got caught up.

This virus crap is doing some hard damage. We thought we would be fine until my husband retired. We thought wrong. No one is safe. The good thing is my husband and I are tight and think the same way. If we have two dollars and family needs a dollar we give the dollar. It's no one's fault when they struggle and need.    [/quote]
