WooHoo! I Won a $50 Amazon Gift Card!

by

This week has been a pretty good week when it comes to financial things. I received our health insurance bill and they finally are billing monthly instead of every two months. No more saving up to make a huge $800 payment! I just pay $400/month. It’s a lot easier to budget for.

Then, today, I received an email notifying me that I won a $50 Amazon gift card from Prime Time Money. PTMoney was celebrating his one year anniversary.

Thank you! Now I need to figure out what to get with it 🙂

By the way, PTMoney has set-up a map of personal finance bloggers. If you are wondering if there are any pf bloggers near you, check it out!

About 15,000 Stimulus Payments Sent to the Wrong Accounts

by

Some of you have commented that you haven’t received your stimulus payment yet, even though you should have. I just saw this news clip and thought I would pass it on:

ABCnews.com

According to ABC News, about 15,000 stimulus payments were routed into the incorrect bank account due to a computer error. It didn’t give more detail than that.

If you should have received your payment but didn’t, there is a hotline number to call at the bottom of the stimulus payment info page at the IRS website.

EDIT (11:14 p.m.): Here’s a link to a Yahoo story that claims that the number is 1,500. It also notes that some households did not receive the $300 for a child refund.
