    We are going to have to put our stimulus check money towards fixing our very leaky roof. Of course it's fine when it doesn't rain or snow, but this morning we woke up to a blizzard here in the mountains (after several weeks of spring weather) and it's already starting to leak and it hasn't even started melting yet! I am grateful to have the moisture in the "bank" as we rely on rain catchment system and a backup well and pump system for our water needs in the high desert of New Mexico.

    Prudent me - would pay off all our bills + have a little extra left over.

    Stimulus me - buy some furniture for the patio, small table top barbecue, air fare to east coast for this fall to visit dd and see new home, mini local vacation, new furniture for dd's old bedroom when she moves out in July.

    I am a boring person, prudent me has a louder voice. Fortunately I am still working, but commissions are down...

    Tradd, I just read your post and then went and checked and ours was there, too! Happy about it, and moving it to savings as we speak.

    Looks like mine will be paying for health insurance. Got a quote from an independent agent - savings of $300/month over COBRA.

    There was talk in Congress of fully subsidizing COBRA, but I don't know, Congress is on vacation maybe indefinitely at this point anyway (do nothing from home), so I don't know the status of that.
