I got my money $2200 today. Will add to my emergency fund. As a nurse I am still working and will continue to.
From what I understand, it is pre-payment on a tax credit that will be given on 2020 taxes. So, if you get the stimulus now, it will be a wash and if you don't get it, you will have a credit towards 2020 taxes.Whatever we get we will hold onto, because I thought this was basically paying out next year's tax refunds in advance, and we don't normally get much money back when we file taxes. Not sure how the government is going to square this, but I don't think of it as free money. I don't want to be caught short when we file taxes next year if we both are able to keep working, i.e., no loss of income.
We just replaced our ford... they are giving 0% financing to all credit levels and 6months no payment (3 months payments by ford 3 by you) so it might be worth looking anyways car companies are desperate and giving great deals.Mine will be spent...but not til mid-May.
My 2004 car needs replacing...so, I'm saving that check, my tax refund, and all the stuff we're not doing the next few months to make a new car purchase.
I don't want to buy it now, b/c it would just sit...and my new car warranty would be no good sitting - that's what my crappy 2004 can do...
