Where’s that stimulus check?
I know, I know. Everyone is wondering where theirs is. I can’t wait for ours to arrive – it is already allocated as follows:
$600 – brings savings back up to $5000. Yippee!
$350 – gas for traveling to OH in 2 weeks, and then western NY over Memorial Day. This is all to visit family.
$25 – donation to friend who is doing pancreatic cancer walk. She lost her stepfather last year, and is such a sweet gal.
$35 – basketball shoes for the husband. He just started playing again, and his old shoes were, well, really old. After a couple of blood blisters, he admitted that new shoes would be nice. I used our Discover Cash Back awards to get $75 in gift cards. With a 15% online discount, they came to $33. He has a tendency to roll his ankles, so I’m hoping the shoes will help us prevent a $75 co-pay to the ER.
$490 – ??
I know that we won’t be stimulating the economy with additional purchases – I will leave it in checking to pay down bills while I look for a job. Once I have something lined up, I hope to use it against that student loan!
What are you planning to do with your check?
That is so smart that you are adding some to your savings. I wish I knew how much i am getting back.
Mine will be used towards bills. Also to live on as I look for a new work at home job.
Good post!
