Stimulus Check

For millions of Americans, the $1,200 stimulus check many received was just not enough to get by, especially as many states and cities are extending their lockdown requirements from just a few weeks to as far as several more months. This means the need for cash on hand may matter more now than it did even several months ago. With the world’s most booming economy halting even longer, there are very serious discussions about a second wave of stimulus checks coming your way.

If you’ve heard it once you’ve heard it a million times, but things aren’t getting any easier- that doesn’t mean things will get worse long term though. As my father and I rode together in my car to get takeout, donning our facemasks, asking one another if we each brought hand sanitizer, things for a moment seemed silly.

As if Americans don’t have enough health and financial fears to deal with these days, the recently passed stimulus package has opened up a new opportunity for thieves and con artists to take advantage of Americans expecting this upcoming check to help carry the load.
