Ready for that Stimulus Check

Here's a viewpoint from a year ago that is now relevant to the stimulus checks we may soon be getting:

"You're getting $600 - what can you do with that? Not to be ungrateful or anything, but maybe it pays down a bill, but it doesn't pay down every bill every month." The short-term, quick fix kinda stuff sounds good, and it may even feel good that first month when you get that check, and then you go out and you buy a pair of earrings."
