My husband and I got no “stimulus” money from Bush because together we made “too much money.” (Barely over the limit of phase out.)
Now that my husband got laid off Dec 3rd, and thankfully got a new job starting Monday (yay!) but at wages he was making 7 yrs ago (boo. . .deflation), perhaps now we are no longer “too rich” for a “stimulus.”
Whatever. I just want to Bush tax cuts to *not* expire.
And when the super-inflation hits later this year, this will hurt us too, as we have good savings and we don’t have any debt/spending to speak of.
This all definitely sucks, all around.
Obama’s fault! LOL.
You have a blessing there in someone who’ll start work when so many are losing jobs. I hope the $$ will be OK for you.
On another topic........
At JPM Chase, I learned yesterday that raises and bonuses are gone/out this coming year....and that some of the employees LEARNED THIS FROM RECRUITERS. Raw. Raspberries to JPM.
Glad to hear your husband got a new job....maybe it is a blessing that it’s in lower dollars....sounds like YOU know how to budget....too bad the Feds/Legislature do NOT....and punish those of us who do.
