Answer 15

Lived off a credit card from March 6th until present day. Didn't know how gnarly this situation was going to get and figured I'd rather keep cash on hand and use the fake money to get by if the world was going to go hunger games. Immediately threw my stimulus at that credit card bill and will be doing the same with unemployment

Answer 16

Haven't gotten it yet, but I'm planning on tossing into the high yeild savings account for a rainy day.  

Answer 17

Holding onto it until this crisis is over in case one of us gets furloughed or something (unlikely). Will then use it to add to our emergency fund and our kids' 529s

Answer 18

Nope. They somehow didn’t have my bank account info, despite withdrawing what I owed in taxes from that very account months ago. I’m still working, so I’m not pressed about it. And when I do get it, I’ll probably buy one swimsuit and put the rest in my house savings account.
