What would you do if you got an extra $100?

We don't have time to have much luxuries in life right now, if we have, maybe just a little part of it. One thing I'm sure, I will pay it to my credit card. No second thought.

I could cal lmy huband and ask him if he wanted half, or if he wanted me to deposit the entire thing into our savings account. If he wanted half I'd send him half, and put my half into savigs.

Get groceries. That or I would use it for our anniversary date. That is coming up at the end of next month. By then we will have grocery money so probably the nice seafood dinner that we have planned.
So I guess we wouldn't be spending our own so we would still have an extra $100 so we are back to groceries.
But I would really like to help buy my new waffle baker with it.

If I had a credit card I would pay off some of it.
Maybe put so much on your credit card then buy something for yourself.

I would surely save up. I have many things to buy, but for now, I just want to save up till I can buy something really big and good. I love electronic gadgets and they usually cost a fortune, if you are going in for a company that provides good quality. So I'd like to save up and use that money for something that will stay with for a long time rather than just spend it away on small things. I might also consider going on a vacation with that money. it's been a long time since I took one and I'm tired...

That's great! Talk about a little mysterious blessing.

When I was younger, I used to hide money throughout my books and the house so that I could hunt for it, in an emergency. I'm sure the habit is a bit weird, but it's actually come in handy. It's easy to spend money that's sitting in an account, but it actually requires motivation to spend if you have to seach for it.

I'm glad you found it and were able to get a bit of relief from your bills.

I would put it in my cash stash for an emergency at this point. When we are doing well financially, I plan in extra cash to spend when it accumulates, but right now we are on a downward plane. It is due to get better again, soon, though.

i usually experience the same thing and i just tell myself that it does pay off to do the household chores. hahaha

seriously though, whether the period is financially tight or not, the extra money will have to go to paying off the bills first or buying extra grocery (stuff that i promised myself i would buy when there's extra money to spend). or else it goes directly to my savings account... to be used for emergency purchases or other more important needs.

unexpected extra money is really a gift and should be treated as such. it is something to be thankful for, whatever the amount is.:)

Bills would be the top priority. If I was okay on that front, I'd take a few dollars (no more than $10) and buy some little thing to enjoy. The rest would be saved back until needed.

If I got an extra $100. Then first I will enquire about that money, who belongs to it. Then if i got that person I will surely return it back, If not so then i will spend that money to the needy person for the blessings. This will satisfy me.
