I was wondering what we would do if we were to come into a healthy chunk of money (is there such a thing?). Let's just say, hypothetically, we made $100,000. What would we do first? How much money would go towards what? Do we pay off all of our debt and put the rest towards savings? Do we take just a small portion to get something we've been needing for a few years (like a new car)? Do we take a teeny tiny bit to take a dream trip (to visit our Compassion kids, for example. One of whom lives in Northern Thailand. See, I told you I wasn't yankin' yer chain!)? Do we put some into a college mutual fund for Baby Girl and any more squirts we might have? Do I get to have a little itsy bitsy teenie weenie bit to get some stuff for the house that I have wanted to sell a kidney to buy since we couldn't afford it? Should we put a big fat down payment on a nice starter home somewhere? But then where the heck would that be? Never mind that for now...Maybe we could put a little bit towards all of the above. Yeah, I think I like that. It's okay to dream sometimes, right?
So, I'm just curious. I want to hear from you. What would you do with $100,000? How much would you put towards what?
erica I think about this often. (i'm not kidding). unfortunetly it wouldn't even pay off all our student loans...BOOOO. but it's fun to wonder! :)
