I was thinking of a poll but figured I’d rather read comments. Please take a minute and answer.
You know how sometimes you find an old jacket and there ends up being something like $20 in them? Happy times, bonus, right? You basically take that money and put it in your “regular” pool of spending cash (usually).
What if you came across an old cheque book and realize you have a bank account with tons of money in it? What would you do with it? Actually, to keep it interesting, let’s keep the amounts lower. Let’s say there’s $1000 in cash. It belongs to you. How would you spend it? Pay off bills? Take a vacation? Buy yourself something big? What if it were $5000? Finally, how different would your answers have been had this happened a year ago today?
For myself, I’m not too sure. Last year I would have probably gone with a vacation although paying off credit card bills would nag at me. This year, what with the upcoming wedding, I would be torn between putting the money towards that, or taking a better Honeymoon. Of course, the most practical part of me is simply screaming: Down Payment! Down Payment!! 🙂
Hm. I guess if I would be entitled to a selfish act, I would probably want to take an adventure vacation. Something like Rafting/ Kayaking / Canoeing in BC or something 🙂
