Such as not having any meme stocks on Robinhood or computer hardware like GPUs, then yea the stimulus helped.

Prismsblade 08/01/21 10:31:48 AM #10:	It helped anyone who was maybe 1-2k behind on debt. Which seemed to be enough as many people were able to pay off they'res that year and stabilize their financial situations.
