The government stimulus checks have started to arrive in people's bank accounts this week and this money will help a lot of families pay bills or rent, but what are most people using it on?  The Washington Post just published an article on early spending that says: "Netspend, which processed nearly $1 billion in relief payments by Monday, said its customers are using the government money “for groceries, fast food, pharmacies and gas, as well as withdrawing cash from ATMs.” More than half of the transactions were PIN-based at ATMs or grocery stores, and about a quarter were done online."
