‘They get free money’: People will receive more stimulus checks and unemployment insurance. Why is there no accountability? The Moneyist does not hold back: @Quantanamo
I’m a single mom. I take my kids on trips. My mother says that's crazy and I should be saving for a house. The Moneyist: 'You're not crazy. Like millions of women raising children on their own while working full time, you’re a hero.' @Quantanamo

Still haven't gotten a stimulus check? You're not the only one. One reader asks the Moneyist: When can I expect a stimulus check if I'm ill and haven't worked or filed taxes since 2016?
I earned $100,000 in 2019, but far less in 2020. Why did I not get a stimulus check? How is that fair? The Moneyist replies: ‘Life on earth is not based on fairness.’ @Quantanamo
Dear Moneyist, I only received a $200 stimulus payment because my family makes $200,000. I think we deserve a bigger check because we pay more in taxes and we could really use the money. Why can't people like me get a full $1,200 payment?
