What would you do with a $5,000 gift?

Lon · Post by **Lon** » Mon Jun 11, 2007 6:45 pm

For those in the UK, that's almost 2,500 pounds

I think you got that backwards, Lon. In the UK it's only about £2 500

chonsigirl · Post by **chonsigirl** » Mon Jun 11, 2007 6:49 pm

I'll still take the gift, Lon.

I'd buy a Muse I know a new car, she needs one badly. I'd get her something reliable, but cheap. Then I'd take what was left and do the same for myself.

I'd give it to the needy.

I'm not sure. It would depend on the wishes of the giver, to an extent - if it was a "Buy yourself something" gift, I'd do that, otherwise it'd be difficult to know what to do with it - £2.5K is a difficult sum.

Id pay of some bills and then go on holiday with the family.

RedGlitter · Post by **RedGlitter** » Tue Jun 12, 2007 5:21 am

I wish I could think of something substantial to do with it, but I guess I'd still pay the bills. I had $5000 at one time some years back. It seemed like so much cash. I went through it in nothing flat. It was sickening.

SuzyB · Post by **SuzyB** » Tue Jun 12, 2007 5:23 am

I would more than likely get the kids a few things, then take us all away on a holiday, shuld pay the bills, but I know that I wouldn't

Bill i think you know what i mean,there are alot of dog owners out there that do need eduction on how to look after dogs.Anyway Bill it was just an answer to a question that Lon asked something really not to be picked at:)

I'd pay bills...and then well, I'd wait for next month and hope to have some left over to pay next months bills.:-1

minks · Post by **minks** » Tue Jun 12, 2007 8:19 am

Well let me see, I could pay down my line of credit and put the rest towards speeding up the payment of my car loan ( omg how dull is that!!!! )

OR

I could make arrangements for my grandson to be looked after (pay child care for the duration of the vacation while daddy is hard at work) and take my 2 daughters on a nice holiday just us 3 gals.

You could buy that poor beast in your avatar pic a doggie treat. He looks so sad and misunderstood. He looks frustrated too, like he is tired of folks thinking he is sad, he looks like me most mornings.
