Most folks in the US are about to get a chunk of money from their tax refund and/or a stimulus check. Many reports are saying they will start to make direct deposits this weekend stimulus funds!
Many folks need this to pay bills and put food on the table. If you aren’t needing the money quite yet I want to encourage you to save it! There are a few different ways you can save the money and put it to work for you.
Most importantly do not think of this as an instant vacation fund, but instead use it wisely.
How to Use Your Refund & Stimulus Checks Wisely
Save It In Online Savings Accounts
While having a local bank is great, you should consider putting any extra amounts of money into online banks. They are paying up to 1.75% interest right now compared to most local banks that pay .05-.15%. The difference in real money…
Another perk of online banks vs local, is your money is slightly harder to get to. Rather than having it this second, you need 2-3 days to transfer the money to a local bank. This can help you be less likely to spend it on non-important things.
Pay Off High Interest Debt
If you’ve got credit card debt or other debts with high interest rates, you should definitely consider using your refund and stimulus checks to pay off any bad debt. High interest debt compounds quickly and only adds to bills and obligations.
Tip: If you’ve recently lost your job try to negotiate a lower interest rate from creditors before paying off the debt at higher interest rates.
