racer254 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 What would you do? If you spend 100K of your own money the government is going to give you 20K. Do you spend that 100,000? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akvanden Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Can you spend it on investments? Real estate, equities? Or do you have to blow it on nondurable goods? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, since I’d be able to recoup the 100k plus 20k on top. 6 minutes ago, Snake said: I hope you people get to the point at some time in your life where money isn't the ruling force in your lives...

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted August 18, 2022 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted August 18, 2022 Sure....buy $100K in gold then sell it and pocket the $20K. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that would be a great way to do it. Unfortunately when the government offers something like this to townships, it has stipulations on what it can be spent on. I this case you had to spend all 120K on what they wanted so you really pocket nothing. Edited August 18, 2022 by racer254 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made me sick. It was crazy what happened in the trades. Contractors basically got free payroll and rent and then kept that money when the jobs got billed out. Alot of these guys didnt need it but they got millions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My boat neighbor has a 48' Cranchee, which is a super sweet yacht, and he's named it "Prestige Worldwide". I thought it was a curious name, so googled it, and up came StepBrothers. Ran into him over the weekend and asked him if he was headed out to the Catalina Wine Mixer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
