Stimulus Check….What will you use it for?

$300 is a nice portion of money and would’ve come in handy a few months ago had this administration and congress had seen the warnings from many economists. Regardless, we received over $180 billion in cash from the government which is a nice treat considering crude oil is off the charts.

Most people will use this check for necessities such as gas, food, medicines, and utility bills. Hopefully, those who are in some amount of debt will pay off some of their overdue bills. However, some will be sucked in by all of the ads all over the tv and newspapers and will probably go out an buy some DVD’s and computer games since Best Buy advertised they were having an “Amazing” sale.

Pay off your bills people. It’s the most obvious path to getting out of debt. A few months ago when you were ingoring the credit card companies calls and I told you the government would give you $300-600 and pay off your debt you’d be all smiles. Now, you see it as a free check and think you can spend your income on paying off your debt while you spend the stimulus check on unnecessary goods.

What have you spent your stimulus check on?

  1. Oops, sorry guys. The first sentence should read:

    $300 is a nice portion of money, and would’ve come in handy a few months ago if this administration and congress had seen the given by many economists.

    And the second paragraph should be:

    Most people will use this check for necessities such as gas, food, medicines, and utility bills. Hopefully, those who are in some amount of debt will pay off some of their overdue bills. However, some will be sucked in by all TV and newspaper ads encouraging them to go out and buy DVDs and computer games instead.

    And the third paragraph should be:

    Pay off your bills, people. It’s the most obvious path to getting out of debt. If I had told you three months ago, when you were ignoring the credit card companies’ calls, that the government would give you $300-$600 to pay off your debt, you’d be all smiles. Now you see it as a free check and think you can spend it on unnecessary goods, while using your income to to pay off your debt.

    Thanks for reading!

  2. I rec’d the money thru direct deposit and already spent it for my study course :-)
