The first stimulus checks were sent out in early 2020. Round 2 of checks is said to be coming before the end of 2020, so we'll learn here how to handle the conversations surrounding those checks without compromising the privacy of your income and financial status.

Even though we've been through this before, you can be sure at some point, you'll be asked whether or not you got your second COVID-19 economic stimulus check (relief check) yet. Someone might even ask you how much you got. Upon hearing that information, the person will know a lot more about your income. Imagine that being a family member, friend or coworker. Normally, we know not to make income public knowledge. But this one will be difficult to work around without causing envy or worse among friends, family and coworkers. 

However, in this episode, you'll learn from my guest, Jay Harnden, how to answer questions about your stimulus check (or lack of one) in the easiest, best way possible.
