Weekend Roundup- Early Economic Stimulus Edition

According to the IRS, the direct-deposited economic stimulus rebates will go out about 5 days earlier than planned, starting tomorrow. The mailed rebates will also start a week early as well, starting May 9th. I have not yet come across a revised schedule of the dates, but I would assume they would all be going out on an accelerated schedule as well. Keep an eye on your bank account this week if you are eligible for direct deposit.

I participated in 2 carnivals last week, The Happy Rock hosted the 149th Carnival of Personal Finance-Chasing Dreams Edition, and included my post “Two of the Most Important Habits for Increasing Your Income”.
