Wearing Your Stimulus Check

The year is 2021 and we’re off to a terrific start. The omniscient and benevolent government that is so in-touch with its people has bestowed a great endowment upon the inhabitants of this great nation when they needed it most in the form of a stimulus check. There has not been much aid to America, one of the wealthiest countries in the world, and its citizens over the course of this pandemic. The powers that be, however, have decided that enough is enough, and they are going to make up for the months and months of rent payments, medical bills and _ with a whopping $600 check. Some people may not know what to do with all of this money, but FEAR NOT. For a frame of reference, let’s look at what this jackpot would be able to afford you.

You can prep for summer 2021 in advance with this one-piece brown lycra Fendi swimsuit. If nothing else, you can reminisce on your days of vacationing in the tropics while you idly swim around your bathtub.

If all else fails, you can save up your stimulus check for a measly downpayment on a Birkin bag.

It’s important to note that while this stimulus is a ton of money, it will afford you one of these designer items. Everyone say thank you to the government for keeping us humble. This is just the boost that America needed to have everyone looking like 600 bucks. If $600 won’t pay for your groceries or your apartment or your other basic living expenses over a span of nine months, at least it has the power to buy you one singular garment.
