Friday, April 2

Good morning, Daily Money friends, it's Nathan Bomey. Are you outraged by what happened on "Wheel of Fortune" on Wednesday night? Apparently you can't say the word "and" and still be credited with solving the puzzle. WHAT!

📰 Here are our top stories:

1. Jobs are booming. The economy added 916,000 jobs in March -- way more than anticipated -- and the unemployment rate fell to 6% as states eased restrictions on businesses and vaccinations accelerated

2. More stimulus checks are on the way. The government has sent a third batch of payments, mostly through direct deposit or through paper checks in the mail.

3. Did you lose your job in 2020? You may be eligible for extra stimulus money.

4. How much do you have in your 401(k)? Here's what the average American has in their account

5. Should you pay off debt with your stimulus check? If you don't have any emergency funds, consider saving it for that purpose. Otherwise, you probably should consider it.
