I have a friend who makes a lot of money, and am pretty sure he told me he made over 75K in '18...I think that's the year they are gonna use to give you a check or not. Anyway, he made less in '19. He has already made plans to the money. Also, he is hoping to get cash for this check from the Bank. I told him, Glencoe has about 5000 people. Many of those 5000 people will probably want to do the same, get cash from the bank for their check. I asked him, do you think the bank will have enough $100 bills? ... NO WAY, I said.
Back to the OP:
Me? I'll just put the check into my bank account and use it for regular household bills. Since I am basically living off of savings, the $1200 will cover a couple months worth of Bills that I won't have to use savings for.
