What would you do with $10,000?

[HoneySpider]

If someone dropped $10k in your lap right now, what would you do with it?

Can be practical or impractical It's your money to do whatever you want with it.

Saving is allowed in this scenario

[Deleted]

I think I would apply half of it toward my school loans and put the other half into savings.

[MrsMB]

Pay off the remaining credit card debt and purchase all the pearls needed to complete my necklace. I'd then purchase an expensive gray bag, then file the rest away. I've thought about this scenario thousands of times in the shower. 10k or bust, baby.

[travelbug]

Use half to put in our E-fund. Pay off Car loan. Then we would use the rest in A) Savings or B) All-Inclusive resort getaway!

[bk1]

I would probably use it to pay towards debt. What I would really want to do, and might do, is put it towards building a shop for DH. He wants one sooo bad and that would free up that much more room in the house for me! ;-)

[pooh8402]

Pay debt and/or start the college fund.

[melsamoony]

Half in savings, $2500 in college fund for L, $2500 for a little family vacation.

[wanderingenough]

Putting toward student loans is what responsible Wandering would do. Trip abroad is what dream world Wandering would do.

[estrellita]

I'd probably do half or more towards student loans (whole amount still wouldn't pay them off, lol) and save the rest for a nice vacation for H and I sometime later this year or early next year. Maybe to a Sandals or something like that. The nicest one of course, and go all out on excursions So I'm being both practical and impractical at once!

[HoneySpider]

We recently received an inheritance from FIL, it was more than we expected (a little more than $11,000) I honestly thought we might get a few thousand, if that. DH's aunt has been handling his account since he got sick and then dealt with all the bill collectors after his death. We didn't know what to expect.

We are being responsible and putting $1k into each of our Roths and then putting almost all the rest into savings. Part of me is a little sad we're not splurging but maybe we'll use what we put in savings to go on a nice vacation down the road. We're definitely not in a position to do anything anytime soon anyway, DH has virtually no vacation time since he's new to his job.

[rockinrobyn]

100% to my student loans. Less interest to pay!

[mrssandro]

Pay off all my bills I am way to practical for this question. 

[MrsAggie]

Savings and college fund. We'd probably try to put some in investments.

[christy082]

Save some for a great vacation and invest\save the rest.

[mrsb53]

I'd probably put 45% into the emergency fund, 50% into my car savings fund, and put 5% toward a fun trip or splurge.

[Alyssa]

Put it in savings so maybe sometime in the next couple decades we can actually buy a house.

[ginkgoleaf]

I'd put it in savings, although right now, that would mean just replenishing some savings from IF treatments. Maybe take $100 and go to a a really nice dinner or something fun.

[sarahsas]

Probably put it towards a new car. Getting worried mine might be too small for a baby. It's 7 years old and still runs great though. And it was my first major purchase by myself!

[awick14]

That's a very responsible choice HoneySpider.

I would put $4,000 into savings and put $6,000 towards our debt.

[Skyesthelimit1212]

I think 1/2 would go toward saving for a house and other 1/2 lo's college/wedding fund.
