vacation plans for a couple of reasons:
- we were in an older age bracket
- we had compromised immune systems
My wife and I had been retired for over 5 years and were living off of Social Security and a Trust Fund that would eventually end, putting us in a situation where we would have to start drawing down on our SAVINGS. However, and based upon our lifestyle, we had plenty of money to continue living exactly as we wanted to live and had been living for the last 5 years. Our needs were simple and we had no DEBT and we pretty much could do whatever we wanted to do... as long as we could drive there in a car... if air transportation was involved, it was a slightly different story, even with our Delta Frequent Flyer Point that we were receiving each month.
SO...
when the stimulus checks arrived... the first one was $2,400 and the second one was $1,200 we simply put that money into our savings account as we did not need it. We DID NOT SPEND that money to stimulate the economy and we did not use that money to pay for any vacation because we were not going anywhere anyway.
My wife and I both felt like OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FOOLISHLY sent us money and while we had no problem accepting that money... it was not needed.
NOW...
the LIBERAL DEMOCRATS want to spend more money so that our Federal Government can grow larger and larger...
In my 73 years of life, I have NEVER SEEN OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT manage anything well regardless of political party. Governmental BUREAUCRACY simply MAKES EVERYTHING WORSE... and, when people know that they are not going to be fired from employment, then their quality of work DECLINES proportionately with their attitude.
