If someone gave you $1000 right now and said you had to spend it within 1 hour on yourself or it will disappear - what would you buy? Remember: You have to spend it right away on YOURSELF only. Can't wait to hear your answers :)

Since I have to spend the money on myself I'd probably spend part of it on books, part of it on shoes, a big chunk of it on Lush, some of it on i-tunes, and maybe some perfume. That's what you wanted right? No buying gifts, gas, or paying bills?

Yes :) You understood perfectly - thank you! I think those are great things to spend the money on. I would buy books and a bunch of Lush stuff too!

I would put a down payment on a Toyota 4Runner. It would be for me but at the same time, it would also be for my family because I could take my girls out four-wheeling and camping.

Well, you said it was for me but I always have to figure out a way to involve my family. My family is a part of me :)

I will take the money and put it in towards my car payments or my credit card. To me, $1000.00 is not really much, but it makes a helpful difference.

Aww but you are suppose to spend the $1000 on YOU - buying yourself something personal. No bills :)

I'd go to the nearest store that sold clothes and spend every last cent on clothes for myself. I haven't had a new bra in years.. cause I spend all the money on the kids. lol

I'd buy me a trip to London!! I don't even have to think about that. LOL Well, either that or use it to help a friend in London get here. I know you said we have to spend the money on ourselves and in a way, I would be spending it on myself cuz it would make me REALLY happy.

If someone will gave a $1000 I will go to the mall and spend it buying a set of my favorite pocketbooks and of course some addition to my wardrobe. A lot of clothes that will fit me and where I am comfortable.

Oh on myself??? Geez I was going to say go to Walmart and fill up a cart. I was thinking of the kids of course. Isn't that always the way? We spend so much on our kids and tend not to do it for ourselves or we are always the last to get. I would probably still go to Walmart LOL and buy some clothes and I don't know what else. This is a really hard question.

I would go online right away and pay off my credit card bill and with the rest, I would go right up to this outlet mall (about 8 min away) and buy shoes and outfits...lol :) Don't take long for something to catch my eye... It would be gone instantly...

I would spend it on some stocks that are hot so I could hopefully make more money off of it and if I didn't well, it was $1000 that I didn't have before anyway.

It is difficult to think of something I would get for myself. There are plenty of things I could buy for my kids. If it was for me I would probably get myself a cheap car, as at the moment I'm borrowing my ex's car and its too big for me.

I think I'd buy gifts for the family. Small, but meaningful. Leftovers would go to a bill or supplies for my home biz.

Nooo you have to spend the money on yourself and not on other people or bills :) So, what would you buy for yourself? :)
