Bod on the Block: Students weigh in on the next level of stimulus

The next level of the stimulus money will include $1,400 for all dependents and members of a household with an income under or at $150,000 per year. How will this impact you and your family?

“Well, it wouldn’t really impact me or my family at all. I would not be able to get the new stimulus.”

“If I would get the $1,400 stimulus check I would be able to comfortably take care of my rent for almost 5 months. That would make a huge impact on me and I wouldn’t have to work to make any money on top of school and track. So I wouldn’t be as stressed.”

“As a student, this check would benefit me in many ways. With the stimulus check, I can use it to fund my college expenses.”

“For me it would probably just help with tuition! That would be a good thing to not have to worry about as much.”

“The check would put $1,400 in my pocket, which would be good because the job I am currently working at is not that well paying. I will have some more money to spend, which would be helpful.”

“The check would help me pay my rent for about 6 months, which would be a huge help not having to worry about that.”

“It would impact me because I could put it towards school. Being a student-athlete and a full-time student makes it difficult to find part time employment because of that schedule. I would be able to use the money either for school or put it into savings and use it for something later down the road.”
