What are you going to do with your 1,200 Donnie Dollars?

[Elwood P Dowd]

I'm getting a new 2020 EpiPen to replace last year's (expiration date only one year after purchase). Damn thing cost about $300.00, but it's about time for a new one. The rest I'm saving for food and household items I will need in the future - don't think the Trump Virus will dissipate any for the next few weeks.

[meadowlander]

1. Pay back my GWB-GFC student loans.

Seriously, fuck the GOP.

[doc03]

2. I am going to give a substantial amount of it

to the Democratic nominee.

[Skittles]

3. how about ponying up some bucks for DU?

[trc]

28. LOL

Excellent answer. Not much is required but some is helpful.

[pnwest]

34. THAT is a great idea. I'm going to make a point to do that. DU is my sanity touchstone,

I need to give a few extra buck. Great idea!

[doc03]

41. I get like 20 different emails every day for

various Democratic causes.

[Skittles]

44. what does that have to do with DU

[Mosby]

49. Du is not a non profit.

I've been a member since '03 so it's not like I haven't been supportive but I have no idea how much profit du makes. How much do they make from google adsense and donations? Who knows, could be millions.

[Skittles]

50. the way I see it is

DU has been my oasis of sanity for almost two decades - if, IF the admins are making big bucks, GOOD FOR THEM. I am FINE with it.

[Generic Other]

89. Me too

[csziggy]

39. I'll give mine to Damocratic nominees

Most of it to Joe Biden.

I already donate money to DU every month.

[panader0]

4. Land taxes and propane (and beer, if there's any left over)

[Marrah_Goodman]

5. fix my car, pay for 6 months of insurance n/t

[LisaM]

6. Bank it against the next GOP economic crisis.

Seems like the only sane thing to do.

[happybird]

7. Cocaine and hookers

Obviously.

[treestar]

26. Seriously legalizing

mj and other drugs could do a lot of stimulating the economy. Hookers - too close for comfort unless they are tested.

[mr_lebowski]

53. I like your style Dude ...

When/where's the party?

[Doreen]

54. OK, I needed a laugh and you provided it.

[Zambero]

56. Who bassist extraordinaire John Entwistle opted for that combo in Vegas

Sadly, the virtuoso's aging heart couldn't handle both at the same time.

[happybird]

65. The Ox was the shizzle

[Victor_c3]

62. I don't know about the cocaine, but maybe a prostitute

They have to feed their families too.

I have a friend who used to be a prostitute when she was younger. Decriminalization of prostitution would have helped her out immensely when she used to do that for a living, but that is a whole other topic.

[JesterCS]

74. I suggest a meet up. I'll contribute to the

Powder fund! Lol jk

[Baked Potato]

79. Noice! Stimulation is good!

[Shermann]

8. Smuggle a few of my peeps out of NY when it gets quarantined

[johnp3907]

19. I thought you were dead.

[BlueJac]

9. Bank it!

Who knows what is next!

[bdamomma]

10. our front line workers

may benefit from it.

[Hoyt]

11. Paid mine to the air conditioning repairman yesterday, and then some.

[Newest Reality]

12. Oh,

Get a new tent because mine leaks. Some new shoes because the ones I have are holy [sic]. Some new clothes will be nice. Maybe a full meal now and then for a nice, nutritious change. Wash the old sleeping bag, which is not cheap these days. I might even get some vitamins. WOAH!

Mine will go back into the economy, I guess you could say. That is if I even get my Freedom Check.

[brokephibroke]

13. Use it to pay part of my 2019 taxes.

[SharonClark]

60. Me, too.

[qwlauren35]

72. Yea, that's where mine is going.

I'm married, so I will have some left over.

I'm going to split it with my husband, and my half goes to Amy McGrath (McConnell opponent), Jaime Harrison (Graham opponent) and Fair Fight.

[rickford66]

14. Those checks are really the corporate bailout

Most of us will have use the money for fixed expenses, mortgage, car payments, electric, gas, phone, etc. All these payments will keep the corps in the black for a time. The money always bubbles up. Just as Nancy said. There should never, ever be corporation bailouts.

[Blaukraut]

15. Donating it to our local cat rescue

They had to halt all adoptions, but still have intakes and still have to pay the bills and feed the cats.

[DFW]

16. I'd be really surprised if I got something like that in the mail.

Dunno what I'd do with it. Donate it to Valerie's campaign for Congress, maybe?

[CountAllVotes]

17. Pay the credit card bills I am racking up

When you cannot go outside, you have to order everything on line.

It is expensive as all hell, so the money will not go very far. I do have an IRA still. I'll hit that too if I must.

Property taxes are due soon too, I'll pay those if there is money left for them.

It really sucks when you simply cannot take the risk to go out and have had no offers of any help from any one at all.

I plan to call the Senior Resource Center to see what/if they can do to help two disabled elderly very high risk people.



I am not optimistic.

[yellowdogintexas]

32. same here. I can knock off most of the low balance ones

which will free them up for when I need to roll one to a 0% interest offer. I have saved a bunch of $ in interest since I started doing that. Here is the plan: wipe out balances moving from lowest one up; when those are done, attack the next one. Keep moving them to zero interest when they start charging interest again.

Most of my credit card balance consistst of dental bills (three root canals and crowns for the two of us in the last 4 years), prescription drugs, some vet bills, and car repair.

We have taken a few trips to see our daughter in Arizona but those charges are small and get paid off quickly.

Then there are property taxes and insurance which knock a hole in the checking account and inhibit payback. However, this year I had to start taking draws from my 401k plans and that covered the taxes with plenty left over.

[CountAllVotes]

33. I have the same approach

I buy things according to how much cash back I can get.

Discover was giving 5% off all grocery purchases which will end soon.

However, it does not apply to online grocery purchases.

I don't know how long we can hang on less than $1500.00 a month.

[Ellipsis]

18. Donnie Dollars... Love it! n/t

[Elwood P Dowd]

23. Thanks. I used that on a repuke today except I called them

"Socialist Donnie Dollars". He was speechless for a minute and then changed the subject.

[Squinch]

20. My needs are met. Mine is going to Moscow Mitch's opponent.

[XRubicon]

25. +1

[Skittles]

36. how about ponying up some bucks for DU?

yes indeed

[XRubicon]

42. Done.

[Skittles]

43. wow

I AM IMPRESSED!

[LuckyCharms]

21. Disinfect it.

[smirkymonkey]

22. I'm only getting a little more than half of that, if I get it at all.

I'm saving it since I don't know what is coming up next. I will probably make some campaign contributions, get a few things I am running low on, but will be banking most of it for a rainy day. Who knows? This could pop up on us again in the fall.

[XRubicon]

24. Donate some to Biden

[pbmus]

27. Buy more soup and save the rest for when we will be paying more for everything

[gordianot]

29. Keep them close pending how they hit me on taxes.

There is a price, nothing is free and my retirement covers expenses.

[rurallib]

30. probably donate to food bank and some local candidates

My town is kind of poor so there are a couple of charities that could use some money like the backpack program.
Will decide when I have money in hand because I can't trust Trump to execute the orders he was given.

[sarge43]

31. Most in savings, some to the Biden campaign n/t

[misanthrope]

35. All going straight back to Uncle Sam in taxes

It covers the majority of mine.

[melm00se]

37. Nothing as I don't qualify

[gibraltar72]

38. Use it to support Democratic candidates.

[CottonBear]

40. I'll pay my mortgage for 3 months.

My payment is really low and includes my property taxes.

[BamaRefugee]

45. Pay my quarterly estimated tax, the IRS will take a bunch out of my bank for previous penalties plus

Social Security will take a bunch because they claim that 3 years ago they paid me for 2 months of benefits THAT they "shouldn't have paid" me. Had to make a repayment deal with them...all I did was apply for SS when I was eligible, that's it...and now they say they want the first 2 months back, although "it's not your fault".

And it'll be gone.

[jmg257]

46. I am gonna send my entire allotment to Repub re-election funds...

$0.00 is my share, even though I am now on furlough, so they can enjoy it as much as I will.

[Bev54]

47. Seriously not Donnie dollars

If it wasn't for the dems, I doubt anybody would get anything, do not give him any credit.

[BusyBeingBest]

48. Put it all in savings.

Who knows what's going to happen in the next few months.

[Initech]

51. Saving mine until this is over.

Then I need to buy a car and I will be using the money for that. At least I hope that will be my intended purpose for this.

[stopbush]

52. Pay a third of the rent.

[The_jackalope]

55. Donnybucks?

Sure am glad I live in Upper Canuckistan, eh? Send some troops north to keep your infected hordes from leaking out, wouldja?

[mindem]

57. Real estate tax

and a new rototiller for the garden. I used to do as much gardening as possible with hand tools, but I can't do it anymore with my stupid arthritis.

[Generic Brad]

58. Apply it to an IRA

Yes. I understand that the point of this is to get it out there to keep the economy running. But after losing 14% of my 401k over the past five weeks I have to build my retirement savings back up somehow. I have enough for now. It is the future I am more concerned about.

[CTyankee]

59. I'll believe it when I see it. I think we have to pay this year but we get some back from the state.

[Doreen]

61. Well, if I actually get it.

I will pay my brother back some money I owe him and pay some bills from medical visits. The rest for things I need to stock up on. NO, not as in getting extra things just a usual yearly stock up that I do anyway. I will just be doing it a little early.

OK, if this damn thing ends maybe I will go out to sushi. That would be supporting the economy right? 😁

[Thomas Hurt]

63. Save it in case I get laid off.

[TheFarseer]

64. Two chicks at the same time

Damn straight. I always wanted to do that man. And I think if I had $1200 I could hook that up Or if that’s not enough - more toilet paper.

[customerserviceguy]

66. You really should

buy your Epipens from Canadian online pharmacies. I just checked with one firm I've used in the recent past, Canadian Pharmacy World, and they cost half of what you quote. Shop around, you might find a better price.

Also, deal only with an online Canadian pharmacy that requires a scan or photo of a real prescription, that's how you know that you're dealing with something legit.

[Elwood P Dowd]

67. Allergy Doc told me NO on Canadian online pharmacies

the last time I asked him about it. Might call up his office next week to see if anything has changed where I can find something cheaper that's genuine.

[customerserviceguy]

70. My doctor

is just fine with online Canadian pharmacies, she gives me written prescriptions that I can shoot a picture of and email in. I recently established a relationship with her after moving to SC, and told her that my previous physician in NY was OK with it, too. The new doc said a lot of her patients tell her that they use Canadian supplied drugs.

Many doctors are in the pockets of Big Pharma, unfortunately. They hear bad things about Canadian pharmacies from drug reps at junkets in tropical locations paid for by the drug companies.

[Cousin Dupree]

71. Why did he say no?

[Elwood P Dowd]

73. Been a couple of years, so my old memory is cloudy.

I'm going to talk to his office next week and ask about it again.

[Cousin Dupree]

85. Hope it works out for you!

[womanofthehills]

90. The last person I ask is my sort of doctor

Seems like all the primary care givers out here are not docs - mine is an elderly nurse with a masters and a touch of confusion. I do my own research. Your dr could have a personal bias based on nothing.

[dware]

68. Donate it to a needy family that I know,

I don't need it and they desperately do.

[ooky]

69. Giving it to my children and grandchildren.

I haven't lost any income from the coronavirus. They will spend it on food and insulin.

[mentalsolstice]

75. Spend it at small local businesses.

We live in an area (NWFL beach) that depends on tourism. It’s a unique area, as we don’t have big chain restaurants, so we’re going to order curbside service at our small local restaurants as much as we’re able. We did so last night, our curbside server was a woman whom we’re very friendly with from better times. When she brought out our food and adult drinks and the thingy to swipe our card, we asked her where we could add a tip. She tearfully explained that the tip was automatically added in..... however, most people didn’t ask and didn’t offer a tip.

[voteearlyvoteoften]

76. Donate to Joe Biden

We must win this election!!

[mikewv]

77. Well...

A few days ago I posted here that I would donate it to defeating Trump. Now, I will use it stay alive.

[GreenPartyVoter]

78. Hold onto it. I fear that the govt will make us pay it back if they

find out my job is paying out the rest of the school year and hubby is still working doing computer repair. Maybe it doesn’t work that way this time, but I still remember paying back for food stamps when I got too many subbing days. That was such a gut punch the first time it happened.

[beachbumbob]

80. I was thinking donating $1000 to Joe Biden campaign

[Thunderbeast]

81. Half to Oregon Food Bank. Half to Central City Concern

We need to feed a lot of people.

Also need to keep the homeless from starving.

[Goodheart]

82. Going to donate mine to Joe Biden's campaign.

[tazkcmo]

83. Pay rent. nt

[littlemissmartypants]

84. I'm not expecting it. But if it arrives it's going into savings. nt

[AnnieBW]

86. If I Get Any

I'm giving some to some disabled friends, shopping at local small businesses that are doing mail-order or carry-out restaurants, and giving the rest to One World Kitchen.

[Bluesaph]

87. Do not call them that!

[Sewa]

88. I'm going to feel guilty receiving one

There is a provision in the bill to pay me my salary. So I’m going donate most of it to a local food bank.
