Put Your Tax Stimulus Payment Into Your IRA

Almost half of those surveyed say they plan to pay off bills with their tax stimulus payments.

How about putting that check into your IRA if you have earned income? Then pay your bills with your earned income.

You'd need to put the money in your IRA anyway. Why not just take that government check and turn it right over to your IRA custodian?

Of course, each situation is different. But consider socking this away for your long term future. The choice is yours.
