What would you do with $1,000?

[Shlup]

Not enough money to be all "OMG I WOULD QUIT MY JOB AND BUY TEN LLAMAS!" but not chump change either. What would you do with it?

If you asked me last year I would say go on a short vacation, like to New York or something. If you had asked me a few months ago I would've said spend it on a new computer... but I did that anyway.

Now I say I would put it in savings because I've been house shopping and have a specific financial goal in mind before BJ and I officially start looking at houses.

[Crop]

I'd put it in my bank.

£1000 isn't really anything, I used to make almost that much a month.

[Bunny]

Put it in the bank.

[NorthernChaosGod]

Buy a motorcycle. I could use something more efficient on gas. =\

[LunarWeaver]

Give it to the poor.

:hahaha:

Nah, I'd bank it like a boring old guy.

[Depression Moon]

Bank it.

[rubah]

BESIDES investing, I'd buy some hella sweet clothez

[Hollycat]

patent my inventions

[Shoeberto]

Car payment. There's a nice chunk off right there.

[Levian]

Getting $3500 back on my tax refund next month, so I guess we'll see. I'm probably going to bank it, yeah. I need to save up so I can eventually get a loan in the bank to buy myself some square meters. I'm working a lot this summer so it's not like I have the opportunity to spend it on anything but clothes anyway.

[Shattered Dreamer]

$1000? Buy some new clothes, the guitar pedal I want, probably a new game or 2, have a very good night out & save $300 of it.

[Cuchulainn]

I'd have a weekend only memorable through photographic evidence. You 'put it in the bank' people are dicks.

[Rostum]

Other than banking it in to my savings account, I'd spend it on an Mbox Pro, some midi cables and a new Shure mic.

[Old Manus]

A peerage.

[NorthernChaosGod]

I'd have a weekend only memorable through photographic evidence. You 'put it in the bank' people are dicks.

You tell 'em.

[sharkythesharkdogg]

Half to savings, half into the race car.

[fire_of_avalon]

Probably give it to my sister.

[NorthernChaosGod]

Probably give it to my sister.

Can I be your sister?

[Depression Moon]

Actually I probably wouldn't bank it all. I'd buy at least 1 game or a new PS2. Yes, definitely a new PS2. I miss you Final Fantasy X, XII, Persona 3, GTA, Prince of Persia, Arc the Lad, Okami, MGS3.

[Yar]

Pay for school.

[Shlup]

...

Most of us are very boring.

[qwertysaur]

Half of it to go towards paying for school, the other half to buy video games and manga. :p

[Yar]

$1000 is boring.

[Cuchulainn]

$1000 is boring.

Bollox you can rule a weekend with that.

[fire_of_avalon]

Okay, $1000 free and clear with no other commitments? Rent out someone's field, start a bonfire, hire someone to do bbq, buy a ton of liquor and invite all of my friends to the best tailgate ever.

[~*~Celes~*~]

put it towards a car

[NorthernChaosGod]

Okay, $1000 free and clear with no other commitments? Rent out someone's field, start a bonfire, hire someone to do bbq, buy a ton of liquor and invite all of my friends to the best tailgate ever.

A bottle of Blue Label?

[Carl the Llama]

Buy a motorcycle. I could use something more efficient on gas. =\

This. Or rather I would buy a new motorbike as the one I have atm only goes about 45mph, and I get soooo pissed off when assholes overtake me only to slowdown after 10 seconds of driving (to the speed I am currently going x.x) or maybe a really really loud air horn so I can beep at the fuckers who do this.

My current horn is rather pathetic.

[Rantz]

I'd celebrate/splurge for $100-200 and be boring/responsible with the rest.

[black orb]

>>> With 1000, I`d pay for a decent internet connection..:luca:

[Jiro]

I would deck myself in fancy new threads and hit the casino. I would wake up Monday morning in some girl's room in her bathtub full of cash and empty bottles lying around me. I work for my savings and free stuff is party stuff.

[Hollycat]

1023 is a good number, much better than 1000

Breast implants





:colbert:

[Freya]

Get a plane ticket to visit justy. :3 Or save it for school. Probably for school.

[Hollycat]

you wouldnt get me a kitten?

[G13]

I could finally live out my dream of going grocery shopping in a movie quality Boba Fett costume. :shiny:

I'd probably get a new computer actually.

[Iceglow]

It'd be pretty easy to spend £1000 here in London. Heck I make £1000 a month easily in retail and I don't often end up with much left for savings either. :(

However if you gave me a free £1000 lump sum right about now, I would most definitely go online, find me some cheap last minute holiday bookings and get the smurf outta London for a week or so asap. The hotel would be all inclusive which means there would be a lot of drinking and fun going on. I would also have to bully a friend in to the holiday with me to make it so that it'd be more fun.

If booking a holiday was out of the question? Buy a new TV (probably be 30 - 40% of the £1000 right there), buy some new clothes (20% - 40% here even if buying "cheap") and then whatever is left would go on drinking with my friends in a night out which we'd aim to forget but remember for one thing and one thing only the massive smurfing hangovers we got in the morning.

For balancement on my living costs here I would say if you asked me "What would you do with £10,000?" then I could make it sound a little more exciting.

[Shlup]

Alright, I gave it some thought. If I was randomly given $1000, I would spend it all on food and a treadmill. I've totally been wanting a treadmill, and if I spend half of that on my favorite foods then I'll totally need one. Basically, I would eat sushi and ice cream for every meal every day for a good week or so.

[Miriel]

Responsible thing: Pay off some of my student loan.

A "Because it's pretty and I want it" thing: Macbook Air

Ridiculous spending of money thing: Dinner at French Laundry and a 1 night stay at The Carneros Inn (http://www.thecarnerosinn.com/thecarnerosinn/default.aspx).

Charitable thing: Donate all the money towards Treasured K9s (http://www.thecarnerosinn.com/thecarnerosinn/default.aspx).

[Shiny]

Better boobs for my dog. She's been complaining about them so...

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

We shouldn't even need money, but I won't open up that can of worms.

I don't want to buy anything. I guess I'll just leave it at that.

And don't read that as "I'm lazy and I want everything in life handed to me herp derp derp."

[Remon]

I'd save it for college.

[Loony BoB]

Wedding fund :p

[theundeadhero]

That's like a paycheck. Nothing would change :p

[Polnareff]

Buy a new computer and an Xbox 360 Slim.

[Psychotic]

I think I'd buy a duck. I've always wanted a duck.

[DMKA]

Fix my overdrawn bank account. :p

That would be involved! But I'm unlikely to share.

[theundeadhero]

What if I give you my best smile?

That's an expensive fucking duck!

Ooooh, I like that one. The French Laundry is on my bucket list.

[Rye]

Realistically, I'd save it and live off it next semester since my class load is too much for me to work during.

Ideally, I'd like to spend it between a small vacation (going to California is only about $500 atm!) and some new clothes, since I've been really budget and not shopping lately.

[Goldenboko]

Saying bank it is the easy way out.

I would buy all the porn.

[Jiro]

You could get all the porn for free, lrn2internet

[Shlup]

Seriously. Who buys porn?

[Jiro]

Wait, I know his game. He wants to own all of it. So nobody else has it. Then he charges people to have it. There's a lot of people who would need porn from Goldenboko

[NorthernChaosGod]

But there's still pirating.

[Laddy]

Save for college. That could buy me some books. xD

[Shaibana]

id problably save it and use it for my holiday with my parents, my internship in sweden and the short holiday with my friends :)
...that would be 11 weeks, so a 90,90 a week... thats nothing xD

[Hollycat]

burn it in front of donald trump

[Jiro]

He doesn't need our money, he has his own.

[NorthernChaosGod]

burn it in front of donald trump

Why would he care?

[Shaibana]

burn it in front of donald trump
:bow:

[Carl the Llama]

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW Gobo wants to buy all porn including fetish and gay porn!

[Pike]

Every last penny would go to bills and as such it would be gone in a month or two. Exactly the same thing happened with my tax return a few months back. Feels bad man. :(

[Yar]

omg its pike

[Peegee]

bank it. it would cover 2/5 of my trip

then 2/5 covered by aeroplan means PAAAAARTY

[Clo]

Buy hookers and weed.

[NorthernChaosGod]

Why not blow?

[Clo]

Why not... both?

[NorthernChaosGod]

I don't think anyone has snorted blow off a hooker and then toked up before.

Let's rock.

[Peegee]

Why not... both?

waste of money imo.

[Mirage]

Upgrade my PC and its monitor.

[Hollycat]

enough pistacio pudding to fill a pool, then fill a pool with it

[Pant Leg Eater from the Bad World]

This actually occurs more often than I am used to lately. But I am in a combat deployment and pretty much making bank. Even though I never see any of it. But with two months left and ALL my debt paid off, I might. No more car payments, no more loan payments. Already dropped $2000 on my new Macbook. And when I get back me and $1000 are gonna party.

Too bad I have no idea what I would do with it to party though. There would certainly be all sorts of alcohol involved, since I can legally buy it now. Wh00!
