Foo - What would you do with $8,000?

If you were given a gift of $8,000 tax-free, what would you do with it?

pay bills. :o

Ninety-nine $80 bicycles. Invest the rest.

I'd put it away in my bank account, where it could mate with my existing money and create little baby moneys. Isn't that how it works?

Invest it prudently.

:lol: It is truly an age of miracles in which we live.

Pay off some bills.

redeem myself and vamoos

Stick it in my bank account, and withdraw that much less from my IRA next year.

invest into stocks that give you more money

I'd be happy with a 3500 dollar bike. Pay some bills. Go on a mini trip..

1150 gs and supermoto wheels.

Stocks are cheap right now...

I'd invest it all in Shotgun Pete's Glow-in-the-Dark Wallpaper.

Quit all my obligations and go on a bike tour for a year.

I sure as heck wouldn't spend it on a bike. No bike is worth $8k, at least not to me.

Pay off my car and credit card.

pay bills. :o

Pay my daughters rent for almost a year :thumb: (I guess I can add another $400.00 and pay it up for a year :thumb:)

Wow, we live in totally different worlds. I would invest all of mine in Wallpaper Pete's Glow-in-the-Dark-Shotguns.

Give it to Madoff for redistribution.

buy myself some oral surgery, the gift that keeps on giving.

What would you do with $8,000?

You'd have to ask my wife.

Pay off the credit card and upgrade my upstairs (replace carpet with bamboo, replace current window coverings with plantation shutters).

Or pay off the credit card and go on an extended European bike tour.

Pay 2/3rds of the bill for the food at our wedding.

D'pends on the situation at the time. Today, I'd use it to reduce debt load and/or increase savings.

pay off most of my car loan.

Put half of it in my bank account and invest the rest in various stocks.

pay off some CC debt

You'd have to ask my wife.

Ding ding ding ding!

Thank you all for playing, we have a winner!

D'pends on the situation at the time. Today, I'd use it to buy makeup, stilletto heels and womens clothing in robust sizes.


cross dressed it for you.

Ski trip, invest the rest.

Keep half and use it to replace two 30-year-old sliding glass doors at the house, then donate the rest so others can have a merry little Christmas.

replace them with french doors. I want to blow out the wall to our sunroom and install a nice pair of french doors.

I would love to do French doors but they are more expensive. And I need something with screens so my two kitties don't escape outside.

I'm always flattered to be your fantasy gal.

I was thinnking of you as I wrote that. Wait, that sounds bad! ah well.

8 1oz gold eagles, put the rest in silver euros.

go to the dentist, save the rest for a house down payment.

If you want to buy a house...now and over the next year is the time to do it because you'll have the perfect storm of depressed prices, glut of supply and low interest rates (if you have good credit and a standard down payment).

save some for the new coffee table:innocent:

Credit isn't anything special (haven't screwed up, but I'm young and haven't had to borrow), but with 10% or more down the boyfriend and I should be able to get something decent and refinance in a couple years if we get a really bad interest rate.

Coffee table should cost $100 or so, not a big expense and completely worth it. :D

Dentist, luthier, piano, Delta.
