Here is 10 grand, do what you want with it! Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

What would you do?

I'd pay off my debts.

Period.

It's when you have no debts that you are rich imo.

I'd do the same. I can't even begin to think about buying a house, even with these low interest rates, with the debts i have now.

But the question would have been more "interesting" if you had added a couple other zeroes.

Put an end to popups!

I'd buy food. Then I'd buy a chair and a sofa to my place. I have only one crappy chair and this is bad chair... what else hmm.. I'd buy a table too.

Then I'd buy me a washing machine.. and then I'd buy some new clothes and then I'd buy a used laptop.

The rest I'd save and use for food and rent money.

This year was very good for me financially -- I paid off all my debts, and I actually do have about $10k sitting in my account.

I would be able to pay off my debts right away but it's not logical to do so. I'd rather have monthly payments with money in the bank than no monthly payments and no money or almost no money in the bank.

10K?

Lessee. 3K for school this term, 2K for rent, December-April, 1K for food and everything else.

That leaves me with 4K to play with. How much did you say those tickets were to the Phillipines, Lancer? Would I get better rates going with my girlfriend?

Since I owe something like $300,000 I really should pay off some debt but 10 grand hardly even impacts it so I would probably just a dining room set -- if there was any left over I would probably just take my wife on a somewhere. -- a local restaurant perhaps


When I was 20, $ 10,000 seemed like a LOT of money-- I lived on that much for a full year-- While it is still substantial, its basically less than a month's pay for a lot of dual-income families

If you give me a hundred grand . . . then we could play a little

Have to admit that I'm getting old. My first thought was: buy HSBC stock.

Thankfully Imran and Drake have the priorities in order.

Women and booze


Combined with buying a plane ticket to some faraway city and seeing your favourite band in concert.

Oh, and I'd buy some new hockey equipment.

Hockey, sex, booze, and rock and roll. A hoser's dream come true.
