Question Have your plans changed for the stimulus checks?

Have your plans changed from when you first found out about these to what you are going to do with them now that they are imminent?

Sometimes when we know money is on it's way we'll make a plan but if there is time to wait, often that plan changes over time.

Do you have the same plan? Or has it changed?

Ours hasn't changed. We are going to license the car and pay for car insurance, restock the pantry and buy a few things we need for the house.

Still plan to use it for debt however I will hold onto it until after my patio project is done. Home projects tend to go over and we still have a lot of work to do.

Yes, my plans have changed. Originally I was going to pay off my Wal-Mart credit card and get some sod for my front yard. Now I am using it to pay my car insurance deductible since I was hit by a driver with no insurance. Once I pay that I will have to pay my doctor bill from the same accident. So unless I can take the guy to small claims court anytime soon then my rebate is going to pretty much be a wash I just keep thinking about all the possibilites I could have used the money for.

Using a little for school clothes for the girls and saving the rest. We aren't stimulating the economy much - just our savings LOL.

Our plan has not changed, we're sending it right back to them in an estimated tax payment for our business. We always end up owing taxes at the end of the year, never a refund. This will help with that issue.
