What Will You Spend Your Stimulus Check On?
Have you received your stimulus check yet? That is, if you are getting one. I keep checking my online banking checking count but there are noting but cobwebs in there, at least for now.
My wife and I are both eligible, so that s a total of 2400 dollars coming our way to spend on anything we want. Well, at least that is the theory of the thing. Unfortunately, it rarely works out that way.
As soon as that money hits my checking account, something will break. I already have some things that need repair, and that stimulus money would help fix these issues, including repairing and re-attaching gutters that fell off during the great snowstorm of 2021, a couple of pieces of siding need to be re-attached to my house after a wind storm a couple of weeks ago, and possibly hiring an exterminator to get rid of whatever pest is running around my attic, causing havoc.
So did you get your stimulus check yet? A lot of people revived their payments over the weekend, myself included. I really didn't think that I would get mine until much later, at least that's how its worked the past few times anyway. Normally I end up being in the back of the line and everyone I know has already gotten their stimulus checks, then I eventually get mine. If you have direct deposit set up and the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) has your banking information on file you'll get it a whole lot faster versus a paper check by mail. I was surprised to say the least when I checked my account and it was there. I guess it was my turn to be first.
The US Senate will take up the Biden COVID Rescue Package this week. The President has set a deadline, so we have an idea of when checks will start to arrive.
