Bills and your stimulus check

Your health is your biggest concern right now and nothing is more important than that. But part of your health is your safety and well-being which includes keeping a roof over your head and buying groceries to feed you and your family. That’s why getting the $1,200 (or more for families) federal stimulus check as early as this week or next week is dramatic and important for millions of Americans.

If you are out of work, use your stimulus check to cover your basic essentials over the next few months. But if you don’t need to spend your stimulus payment, even if you are out of work, don’t spend it.

Instead, put it in your emergency fund in case your unemployment period is extended longer than just a few more weeks or the entire four months being covered by unemployment insurance.

You may be tempted to make purchases for things because you see them advertised online or through email ads because you are spending more time browsing on your phone or computer, but resist.

Instead, do this. Make an important call to your creditors to ask them to defer payments on any loans you may have and be sure to mention that it’s related to the coronavirus pandemic. It’s true that many lenders are allowing borrowers to skip payments on their mortgages, car loans, credit cards and other debt. Check now with your lenders to see if you qualify for that and what other options are available to you. You lose nothing by simply asking!

Be safe and stay home if you can.

Do You Check All of These Boxes as Sources of Income?
As you go through daily life, that is normal daily life, you primarily think about income as the money you earn from some sort of a job. For most people, it’s money paid to you from an employer, the business you report to every day and who pays you a check every week or two. If you have a real skill and are lucky, you may even have your own business and be the boss.

That’s the way it was before the pandemic hit. Now, getting a weekly paycheck for getting up and heading to a job seems like it was a past life for an awful lot of people. I was just speaking to someone on the phone that has only been home for four days and he is already going crazy with anxiety. He is not alone.

That’s why I appreciate the fact that just getting a paycheck is only one way to earn money and earn a living. This isn’t your father’s world anymore and today there are a lot of boxes to be checked that can and will supplement your sources of

The "Virtual" Solution to Your Money Problems
If you feel like today is March 38th, you are not alone. The coronavirus pandemic has broken lots of records and one of them is extending March into what seems to be the longest, loneliest month in all of history. I’m not kidding here.

Since I write about finances and money issues rather than medical problems, I’d like to say this: There are some solutions to the money issues and problems you are facing, so don’t throw in the towel just yet. Consider virtual jobs as the solution to your money situation!

Use Your Down Time to Perk Up!

With every depressing scenario we see on TV, days are stretching out and all blend together, don’t they? It’s hard to think that spring may have sprung when so much is just hanging in mid-air when it comes to life, work, and normality. That’s why you should use the creativity inside of you right now.

Super Saving Tip of the Week:

If money is getting tight during the pandemic, you may be looking more closely at saving on groceries, even more than ever before. So you might want to ask the question, “Is the food at your local dollar store safe?

The answer to that is yes, the food and groceries you find at the dollar store are safe. But even though most shopping at the dollar store can save you some cash, not everything at the dollar store is worth buying.

Even if it only costs $1, some food items are actually overpriced compared to your local supermarket. That’s especially true when you don’t know which foods are worth the dollar and which you should buy somewhere else.

Here’s a short category list of what not to buy and it includes the following items: meats, condiments, cereals, gum, chips, canned goods, milk, cheeses, bottled soda, and spices.

All of these items are regularly promoted at less than a dollar at your supermarket. Before you make any purchase, always look at the unit costs and see what you are getting for your buck. Remember, a dollar sounds like a deal but isn’t always what is turns out to be. Saving a few of them right now is very important to millions of us who need help to get through this awful period.
