You just won $10,000 and it's tax-free.

What are you going to do with this money?

$500 set of irons.

$750 take family shopping and select seats at Reds game.

$1,000 to my mom to help her out.

$2,000 to help out in-laws.

$250 to sister for plane ticket home.

$5,500 left to bury in the backyard.

Boring I know....but what would you do?

100% to credit card debt. Masters work has caused it to get pretty high.

I'd probably use part of it to pay off debt, and the rest to get a new car. Mine is becoming a POS.

You guys would take an extra $10,000 and not do a single "extra" thing with it?

Responsible!

Payoff bills and then put a $1,000 bill on my dick and walk around our accounting department at work, hoping all but one plays.

I'd pay my rising health insurance bill and then pay my HR person to work overtime while informing all of the employees they are now part-time.;)

When civilization collapses and medical supplies gone, a simple cut will lead to infection and a slow painful death! Neosporin stocked up life saver!

Start paying off my law school debts.

I had $10,000 of fake money in a stock competition with my friends and turned it into $14,000 over 2 months but I highly doubt I'd do that well with real money.

I'd use it to help replenish my Emergency Fund & Savings, which both took a huge hit this past year due to my Upcoming Wedding, an Engagement Ring, New House, & Medical bills (fiance had three surgeries and two emergency room visits in Feb-March).

Good plan, but don't forget to waste a little of it too.

My wife sold an old gold necklace that was kinked up and unwearable and the jeweler gave her $190! I think it cost around $140 about 15 years ago. Good Stuff.
