What would you do with $5000?

[YoCheeseHead]

Let's say you got one of those scratch-off lotto cards for your birthday and you won $5000. What would you do with the money? IRA? Gear? Trip around the world? Pay off student loans?

 

[Goldfish]

Put it towards a nice automobile.

 

[iamfried]

Pay down my blue card.

 

[Freejack2]

Like every good American....
Pay down my credit card(s)

 

[ThisIsMatt]

Buy an Austin Mini (pre 74) and some parts...
Buy gas
Pay for books/tuition
DVD drive
Better video card
Couple new hard drives
etc

$5000 worth of roses and send it to a lucky girl.

So you'd send all those flowers to the AnandTech Moderator, right?



If I won $5,000 I'd payoff two $2,500 credit cards then brace for the tax bill at the end of the year.

Spend it.

Actually, u know what would be cute? take it apart and put all the flowers' petals and spread it on the bed ~so romantic~ kinda like the movie poster of American Beauty

 

[HansHurt]

Pay off my tax bill

Computer parts, and off to the race track w/ the rest

 

[Hanpan]

Use it to bolster my depleted portfolio.

 

[ElFenix]

that would be a whole load of roses... even just the petals... especially where my parents used to live (roses are grown near bogota, colombia.)

me, i'd keep it until i the car i like comes out. 2002 nissan maxima SE... 6 speed... 17&quot; wheels... 260 HP... sunroof... leather... *droools*

 

[amdforlife]

What year? >>

ha ha, I dunno the year, but I know what it looks like, I like my friend's '92 MR2 though, he said he's sell it for $5000, is that a good price? I dunno if he sold it already yet

 

[Elledan]

Invest it.

MR2 with or without Turbo? How many miles? Seems like a good price to me though. >>


I think it's about 125,000 miles, I dunno about the turbo, I know it's a stick I was in twice

 

[gooseman]

Liquor and women

 

[CattyKathy]

<< You know how to drive stick? You're the (wo)man!! >>

hee hee, I'm learning, I drove a stick 3 times, the last time I only stalled twice and if I get it, I can learn it myself so I don't ruin anyone's car

 

[lowfatbaconboy]

look at me im invisible
*runs around posting alot of which no one reads or responds*

 

[hans007]

i'd probably pay off my credit card, and get a nice speaker system for my car. And with the $3500 or so left, i'd take a girl out to some nice places. I'd get some roses, but well roses are perishable and well that would be a pretty good waste of cash after a few hundred dollars worth
