I was just wondering how many of you have gotten your stimulus payments yet? If so, what did you do with it or how are you going to spend it? Are some of you going to save it? I for one, just put it in my savings account, I think we will save it for a rainy day, but with the prices of gas and groceries going up, looks like we might be using it soon. Just wondering what your plans are for yours.

We wont get our payment until almost the end of June according to the IRS calculator our check won't be mailed until June 20th.
As for what we are going to do with it, the taxes on my car will be due, I owe my mom some money and we have a bank loan I would like to get paid down a little then we will buy some groceries and put gas in all the vehicles.

Yeah, I guess if you filed your taxes and used direct deposit you will get your money first, because we got ours last Friday, everybody else will get paper checks. I know my mom is patiently waiting for hers, and she could sure use it. It helps to have extra money to pay some of your bills doesn't it? thanks for responding

We are suppose to get our by tomorrow. Hoping that is true. We are using ours to cover the $1980 that we will owe our current complex when we move out for breaking our lease.

I haven't gotten mine back yet but I have 3 kids that will be going back to school in the beging of August so I am going to mine back and buy school clothes and stuff that they will need. I am not going to spend any of it until right before school starts. I hope that people realize how high gas and things are getting and start planning for future.

Yes, it will come in handy for people who have children, especially when school starts back up. I know kids are expensive, we don't have any, but during the summer my nephews come over, and they like to do all kinds of things, I have to make sure I have some extra money.

Well I am supposed to get mine by the 23rd of this month. I hopefully get it. I have a lot of things that I have to do with that money and I am hoping that I get it.
