How are you using your stimulus check?

I'm using mine to pay off the balance I put on my CC when I eliminated the last of my unpaid medical debts in early April Smiley Happy
Then the left-over $300 will be used to pay down my only other card-type-thingy (the GEMB CareCredit card) down to less than 20% util.

Sorry, Tex... You're one of the ones who paid taxes so people like me & DH could receive one!
 
Think of it as a charitable contribution. Ha.

Ours is going to the new house stuff budget.  We are only using cash to buy things for this house (or credit card paid with cash as as it posts to the account) so it's going there.  A brand new house needs a lot of things you forget about.

Pay down a bit more UTI to take me to something like 19% next month.  Yay!
 
The other return money makes up the bulk of a downpayment on a "new" to me car if my CU will go to bat for me.
 
Holding my breath until June 15th!

Well the house I was suppose to close on in two weeks just had the AC compressor outside unit stolen.  Hopefully the seller will replace it and I can use my check on a new grill and landscaping for the house.
