Hopefully you didn’t blow your whole $600 stimulus check on Mega Millions tickets. Here are some SLIGHTLY smarter ways to use that money . . .
Someone polled 6,000 people who keep a monthly budget and asked how they’re using their $600. Here are the top five things people who stick to a budget are doing with it . . .
1. Putting it in savings, or building up an emergency fund.
2. Paying off debt.
3. Getting a month ahead on expenses.
4. Paying bills.
5. Buying groceries.
