ABNB Car Loan vs ME!

We finally got our economic stimulus check yesterday! During my lunch break, I’m depositing into the bank. Once it clears, we’re sending the whole amount $1,200 toward paying down the car loan. I’m excited about it.

My husband is “happy for me”. It’s hard to be excited when he doesn’t exactly see the money, but he knows it’s for a good cause. I love that he’s honest with me. :) He doesn’t see the immediately see the benefits, but it will help us out as I’ll move the car payments to joint deposits.

By the way, we paid our late rent and fees, so hopefully there should be no problems. We may do the money order option. It just kills me how this situation was handled.

As a reminder to everyone who got their stimulus check this week.

  • If you have high interest debt, use the stimulus to pay down or eliminate it.
  • If you have no savings, put it in a high interest savings account to start your emergency fund.
  • If you have no debt and have savings, looking into depositing the money into an IRA.
  • If all of the above is in place, have fun with the money. Actually you could send it to me. :P

I hope eveyone’s day is going well!
