First Thing You Would Do With $1000 (work related question people)

[koolmike]

What's the 1st thing you would do with $1000? (if someone handed it to you)

I would pay off my next 3 car payments in advance.

[FrighT MasteR]

Put it in my bank account, like I usually do :ahheh:

[koolmike]

Smart man.

[Driden]

Mike, did you get a bonus? I say save it unless you don't have an HDTV then it must go to that

[koolmike]

Yes. Way more than $1000 though.

[koolmike]

The reason for this thread: this question came up in a marketing meeting today...like it does every Jan. 3-5th.

[Driden]

I see. I'm pretty sure on average most americans will spend it or pay a creditcard bill. seeing how I believe last I heard 60% of people are in debt, debt = no sense. they probably wouldn't pay a bill

[koolmike]

Credit card debt is out of control.

[choptop2]

Snort $999 worth of cocaine with a 1 dollar bill.

[cmurdur]

have an orgy with 100 $10 hookers.

[Wrathborne]

toss it in the bank, try to leave it alone and let it colllect some interest.

[Misfit]

drop it on my student debt

Better off in a conservative mutual fund.

[Gilly]

I'd get myself driving, i've been legally allowed to drive for three years, and I don't have my full licence, havn't had any lessons or can barely spell car let alone drive one.

[Knight]

Free thousands bucks? Probably just blow it.

I stick to a rather strict budget so any extra money that comes my way usually gets thrown into the 'use it for whatever' category.

[Joker]

Invest it.

[K.I.N.G]

Blow it all on the stock market.

[LgOr]

pay off some small bills and blow the rest on dvd's

[H78]

I'd pay off a balance I owe to my school.

[hackerslacker]

well most Americans will blow all on random junk, whether its to make their appearance better or to make them feel more wealthy.

It would depend on the mood I would be in.

1) save it - CD/savings account
2) Spend $200 on DVDs, wants/$300 on needs/$500 savings
3) pay 4 car payments

[hackerslacker]

This tax season... probably do #2.

[violent d]

Get that tattoo I've been wanting,buy my rats a bigger cage then blow the rest on other stuff I really dont need.

I try not to let myself get into debt for fear of having to move back in with my family. Thats why I refuse to ever get a credit card.

[Highwayman]

I'd buy dead breed a clue. Umm, Prob just put it in the bank, exciting isn't it?

[ZION]

Just spend it on things you NEED not WANT. Paying your car note for acouple of months is a smart way to stay ahead in life. I myself would be buying baby stuff for the kid "on the way".

On the way eh, congrats man. I hope he/she's into horror movies.

[dead breed]

Take my gf out to supper, and take the rest to pay back my student loan.

[toxicangel19]

pay off my small loan i took out....then when taxes got here id fix some more of my uniforms and get new tennis shoes and buy my hubby something nice.

[satanocat]

i would put half of it towards my car payments. $300 in savings. then i would get the rest in quarters and throw then at random passer bys just because i always wanted to chuck $200 in quarters at people

[ZION]

On the way eh, congrats man. I hope he/she's into horror movies.

He or she wont have an option. :coolbeer:

[Luris Blear]

Congrats Zion.

On that note, yeah, I'm one of the people who would dump at least half toward the credit card bill. Had to replace my car and father a second child in the last year -- plus a few "can't you just charge its" from my wife. Starting 2008 in the red.

[Aurone]

Buy a BC Rich 5 String Widow Bass Guitar.

[Gilly]

Buy a BC Rich 5 String Widow Bass Guitar.

Good call, i'd go for a Musicman Stingray, or a Warwick Streamer II.

[réÐþÁ†µ]

$25,000 and counting.

Far as a simple $1,000 goes without the above assets. Pay the cell and some of my car insurance. Almost done with the car and I've recieved discounts via the insurance from being a good citizen on the road with zero accidents.

[koolmike]

Curious...no one, including myself, mentioned anything about donating all or a portion of the money to charity.

[Misfit]

fuck that i got loans to pay on

[koolmike]

I hear that.

[Misfit]

donating to charitys is more for the celebs and business companys. its hard with the debt average people get into to even think about donating away their money

[dead breed]

fuck that i got loans to pay on

:coolbeer:

[Late For Reality]

Save $250.
Spend $250 seeing 31 movies at the movie theatres.
Spend $250 on DVD's/CD's.
Spend $250 on gas so I can drive to work!

[koolmike]

Gas is up to $3.29/gal for regular around here.

[IKickAssForTheLord]

buy a pound and then I'll have an extra 2000

[koolmike]

:lol:

I read that reply, then I looked at your user name and started to chuckle.

[thrEE6MAfia]

good idea..id buy 2 lbs of shrooms and bank on that..you could make sooooo much money

[IKickAssForTheLord]

:lol:

I read that reply, then I looked at your user name and started to chuckle.

why? :cry:

[Snuggle]

I would drop half of it on DVD's and the other half in the bank.

[Luris Blear]

It costs me about $45-50 a week for both jobs and a once-a-week grocery shopping trip.

Between this hypothetical $1000 and my next check from Job #1, I would be able to completely pay the credit card off. Then I'd run it back up driving to work. :D

[Grendel]

Between the holidays and a recent trip to Chicago, this would go straight to the bill pile...

[smokey]

I would put it away for my new car. I really need to upgrade the one i have got.

[Darkgod]

Pay off school.
