Money
Thanks to Salena I now know when to expect my “economic stimulus” check from the government. I will be getting a paper check around June 20th. It doesn’t really matter to me when I get it. The money is going right into our savings account. We are trying to build it up again after the house purchase put a big dip in it last summer. I love having a big chunk of money in my savings account. I just feel more comfortable knowing that I have enough money in savings that I could miss several months of work and not have to worry. Currently we could probably go three months without any income. I would like to at least double that this year.
Looks like I should get mine around May 9th. I’m glad I did direct deposit with mine. Otherwise I wouldn’t get it ’til June.
Good call on the large savings balance! I’ve heard that a 6-month cushion is a good standard operating procedure, so you’re on the right track.
I closed on a house Apr 15, so I know what you mean about the dent that puts into your savings.
