I also have a roth IRA that was fully funded last year, though it is looking as though it will probably not be fully funded this coming year with the amount going up to $5k.
Worth noting is that I'm in my early twenties and last year was my first full year of employment since college. I currently rent and have no savings for a home, and I do have an emergency fund in high interest savings that would cover my expenses for 4-months. I saved that up first, then opened the Roth, and have since started saving for the vehicle.
So tell me, what should I concentrate on saving for, and what should I put my stimulus check toward?
Thanks in advance!

Are you debtfree? Do you have an EF of 3 to 6 months expenses? If not, you need to does these first.
