Unexpected Money

[disneychrista]

Ultimately it is going to home improvement but right now it is going into my savings.

Right now... a CD. I don't know how long these interest rates will last, but when they do go back down, that $2500 could have turned into a nice little vacation sum.

snagged one at 5.25% a couple weeks ago.

Upgrade to turn left on the plane

College tuition. I have 3 in college right now--that's where all our money goes!

 

[Minniedoc]

Put it toward that ABD I just booked!

Love this! I booked my next ABD for Scotland in 2024 - coming to your side of the pond.

Put it in my money market.

Vacation unless there is something big that needs to be replaced. Like a new laptop or camera, and then buy something better than my budget normally allows.

If it's unexpected money, I am in favour of spending it on something fun.

Put it in our checking account with the large amount of cash just sitting there for major home improvements that have been put off due to Covid and high prices. It wouldn’t even cover a monthly credit card bill.

 

[antmaril]

Use it for a trip.

Into savings. The company I work for just closed and I won't draw social security for 5 more months.

 

[CGB]

New roof fund

 

[sam_gordon]

Pay off loans.

 

[LoveSpringsteen]

College tuition. We’ll have two in college this August.

 

[Kimkimba]

It would go in the food truck fund.

If you unexpectedly came into $2,500 what would you do with the money?

Invest it/put it in savings. Something to make money or at least not spend it.

All of our unexpected money goes towards vacations. Has always been our rule of thumb.

 

[DisneyHardin]

$2500 would just about knock out our credit card debt, so I would send it all to that.

 

[robinb]

If I had credit card balances or personal loans, I would pay them off first. I wouldn't bother with car loans or mortgages as $2500 probably wouldn't make a big dent. Since we are debt free, I would either (1) invest the $2500 or (2) add it to some earmarked savings account.

Wow that amount of money for dad and I would be a fortune. Different uses including to use part of the money in an anonymous way that I pray would make a kind difference to God. We would also invest/put away as much as we could. Use some for necessities for sure, too. Maybe something small fun for each of us too. Fun to think about for sure
