Thread: So, I got a $100 bill and want your opinion.

    Default So, I got a $100 bill and want your opinion.

    Were so behind but Ive been doing some work. Got a deferrment on the car payment, worked some magic with some companies so lower some bills for Jan.

    So, on Christmas my mom gave me $100... (damn I remember the days when $100 was nothing)... anyway...

    Im debating - spend it on myself (like she said) or pay bills...

    I feel bad paying bills because she was specific about spending it on myself but I feel bad NOT paying bills when thats what I feel it should go to.

    What do you all think?!

    Im sitting here just looking at it sit on the table all lonely wanting to be used for something.... poor Ben....

    Pay your bills. That way you can enjoy your money without feeling guilty about bills you should've paid with it.

    I vote for pay bills too. Sucks being all adult, but I know I feel much less stressed when my bills are all current

    Use $10 of it to buy a cute potted flower, use the remaining $90 on bills. See, you have a lasting pick-me-up (if you water the flower) and then you paid your bills.

    Bills. Money you make after you get caught up can be spent on something fun. Trust me, my bf got a $250 Christmas bonus and we wanted to go shopping. Instead, we had dinner and a movie and used the rest for bills. We could have done without the date, but we were completely caught up on our bills except one, so.. It's just more responsibile, and any money you make after your bills are paid can go to fun pursuits, yes?

    Damnit.... damnit damnit

    I KNEW it should go to bills.

    OK, Im going to take $20 and get my nails done (I really cant start my new job with chewed up stubs) and then pay bills with the other $80.

    I guess I'm late to this one but I suggest paying bills with that $100

    I like that idea. Treat yourself and pay bills. Win win.

    You know the "right" thing to do would be to pay bills but in the back of your head you want to splurge on yourself. I think you should splurge on yourself. You've been through a lot lately. Spend 50 on yourself and put 50 on the bills.

    Ya know what? F it. I HAVE been through hell lately.. Ive been in 4 weeks of pain and then was cut open. I havent had any fun in months and Ive been couped up in this house, on this couch for weeks.

    Im throwing caution and responsibilities into the wind. Im tired of worrying about every penny and Im tired of feeling unpretty and ultimately like crap. I just saved $700 on bills today (car payment deferred, student loan forberance, cell phone plans combined) which I deserve a reward for.

    Im spending the whole $100 on me and am going to enjoy every damn penny of it.

    After the kids gymnastics Im going to the mall!

    Pay bills with it...that's what I'm doing with my Christmas money. It always feels good to get on top of bills or to be ahead of schedule with car loan payments. If anything, spend 20% of it on a small treat(something small but memorable, like a shirt you've been eyeing that's now on the clearance rack, or a one-time meal out at a restaurant you've been curious about) so that you can experience the present, and then put the other 80% towards bills.

    I guess that I'm the only one who thinks that you should do as your mom asks and spend it on yourself.

    But, that's just me.

    I second this idea! I'd probably pay some bills and breathe a little easier for a while, right after having a fancy dessert from an upscale bakery. Spend most of the money on bills, but set aside a little for a small indulgence.

    My normal conservative self would say would say pay bills with the money, but when I was younger I had a similar situation. My Grandfather was always hard working, but dirt poor. He was very sick and we knew he would not be around much longer. Somehow he was able to get enough money to give all the grandchildren $100 for Christmas. Later when he ask me what I did with the money, I told him it helped pay some bill. My grandfather started crying and told me just once he wanted to be be able to treat me to something nice. So I say if she says to treat yourself treat yourself its her money after all.

    I got moola from my Aunt & Uncle and it went to EBMUD. (water bill) So I vote bills. But use a little to treat yourself wouldn't be such a bad idea. Maybe a mani/pedi?

    Damn, Audrey, you've been through a lot of shit in the past few months. Get yourself a massage or something. It's a gift, treat it as such.

    OK, so, OMG I went to Kohls and they were having this HUGE sale and I got a GORGEOUS red bubble dress for - $27!!!! I have something for New Years! It was regularly $72!

    I also got 2 velvet jumpers for $14 each - one purple, one teal.

    I got stuff to wear to work that can be mix and matched. Everything was like $9 or $14!

    Ill take pics. Im glad I spent it on myself. Id have resented spending it on bills because I really needed this.

    Im going to take pictures because Im so happy and I felt soooooo pretty in the red dress and when I found it someone tried to snatch it from my little cart thing and my daughter was like thats my moms! It was the only small one left - the rest were all huge and I searched and searched for a cute red dress. Im so in love with it! I HAVE to go take a pic. BRB

    Sounds like you got a lot for your money and some cute stuff at that. I got a Kohls gift card for 25 bucks for Christmas plus I have like 10 of the Kohls bucks. I have a hard time finding stuff in there sometimes. Let's see what you got

    It is very pretty, and it looks awesome on you!

    Have you told your mom that you treated yourself?
