Re: How are you using your stimulus check?

To pay for my vacation so that I don't put anything on my cc's. My cc's should be PIF next month, so there are going to be sock drawered and alternated for buying gum. I haven't been on vacation in almost 6 years and I'm so ready for this one.

$200 towards my CareCredit bill and then the rest to make higher payments on my cc's to pay them down... with that and my next 2 paychecks I should have around $2858, and my bills will be $2697... doesn't leave me with much at all to spend on, you know, stuff like food

We are road trippin it down to New Orleans from Charleston, SC.  We already had the trip planned, but now we'll use the stimulus money.  Vacation, here I come.  We'll also donate some money to Harrah's while we're in NO. Smiley Wink

We'll probably use it the same way we use most windfalls that come our way: a principal payment on the mortgage. We've got the principal down to a little over half the price at which a neighbor's place very similar to ours recently was sold, so we're within striking distance of getting under 50% LTV...

I just got Applied Card to agree to a PFD, so I'm using my stimulus check to get the baddest of my baddies removed from my reports.
