boob job, and college fund for my kiddo.





I'd put $5k in a Roth IRA or some other investment thing. Or maybe put it in a savings account I couldn't touch. Either way I'd save half of it.
Aside from that, I'd spend $1k on frivolous bullshit, like clothes or something I wanted- $500 on me, $500 on the hubs. I'd put $2k towards a loan we were given from his parents a year ago and let $2k sit in our checking account for household stuff or anything we needed at the time, like if our car needed to be fixed or something.




I'd use about half of it towards a down payment on a house.
Invest about $3000 for my nephews and niece- $1k/kid (as a college fund, or something like that). I don't have kids, but if I did the investment would be for them. I'd have to research the best way to invest it. I don't know if savings bonds are still a smart way to go?
And then I'd use the remainder to travel.

Put in my high interest savings account with the rest of my monies.

Save & take a killer vacation because I've been running to long...




I would pay for me and my mans upcoming holiday (as opposed to both paying) and save the rest.




Save half of it and take off to a third-world country with awesome beaches to relax, get tan, and write for a month!



Pay off rehab on my new house so I can move out of where I am and rent it. That would instantly lower my monthly costs by $800/mo.
or
Finish rehab on the double i bought, put it on rental market for $1000 (500/side) or sell it for $50k
or
Start rehab on the huge triple. THAT one needs 50k to rehab.
Of course at least a grand for my fav girl! Lol.








Id put it in savings, come to the board and post "DONE!" in the $10k in 2012 savings thread
But hrm..okay, if I had that fall into my lap right now, I would get the new furniture Im slowing trying to work my way up to (I sold/gave away/tossed all my furniture when I moved a couple weeks ago...starting fresh!) That would really only be about $3k though.
I would then take the other $7k and get my implants. That pretty much covers it.
Although, if my planning is on mark, then Ill have all the furniture I want in the next couple of weeks, and my implants by summer. So hrmm...
I guess then, I would take the additional $10k and put it towards a trip to Italy with kiddo, and a cruise, and pre-pay a yearly membership at a local spa I love, and hrm...put the rest in savings, which would then be about $2-3k. KNowing me though, that money would be gone somehow as well. Ive been known to spend a couple thousand and have no idea how or what on.
Im better at spending money than I am at keeping track of or saving it.
Don't blink. Don't even blink. Blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back. Don't look away. And don't blink!





Put every damn dollar in savings. I don't need anything right now, and everything I want is payable via the salary I'm making at my current job.
That 10,000 will be worth a lot more in 10 years if properly invested. And it'll serve me better in 10 years - when I'm looking for a down payment for a house - that it will now.
I feel so boring.
Get boobs.. and save the rest for a rainy day.

I would buy some land, a travel trailer and a truck! I live in a somewhat small town and there are good parcels of land for cheap, one in particular that I like off the highway...6 acres for $5,000!! = ) And then I want to get a travel trailer, trade in my car for a truck, and then travel the country in my travel trailer with my son and return to our land whenever we feel like going "home"...Ahhh Someday!



@pinups4 I earn 5.5% pa on my Australian ING account. It's not a hypothetical account.

I would use it to pay for school and a litle debt that I owe. Ill have some leftover and put into my savings account and wouldnt touch. A down payment fund would be nice to start.




I'd give it to some dancers that I know that are hurting for medical or dental work that they can't afford, because they have no insurance.
I would get my teeth fixed, and my husband's teeth fixed.

Although I've never won $10,000, I do have over $40,000 in my savings account, and carry absolutly no debt (no credit card debt, loans, etc). That's over 4x the amount mentioned in the OP thread title.
I have no urge to spend it on anything.
So I guess, if I won $10,000, I'd now have over $50,000 in savings.





I enjoyed reading everyone's repliesTo answer some questions: Why $10,000? Because I kinda won that much. I was hesitant to spend it at first but I'm fine with the idea now. Actually half of it is already gone :/ Alot of it went towards my upcoming honeymoon, gave my mom $1000, had $1000 of repairs done on my car, paid some bills... yeah it adds up quick. The rest I plan on saving. Putting $2000 in the bank for my daughter and the rest in my account.


Let's be honest, it's not going in savings! I would buy a stainless steel double kegorator, 1 keg of PBR and another of the most delicious raspberry wheat beer ever. The rest would go to a trainer for my dog.
Admire her if you will, but imitate her never, said the parents to the enamored children.





Right now... prob just pay off some of my debt. Im having a frugal moment. Id probably spend $300 on a bottle of Dom though to celebrate winning![]()




2012 is my year of working hard and saving for a house so as boring as it is the $10,000 would probably go straight into that account.
Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
