If someone gave you $250 right now....

If someone gave you $250 to spend right now, what would be the first thing you would do with it?

For me, if I already had enough money for the lawyer, I'd be going to the dentist and getting a new pair of glasses. If there as enough left over, then I'd be putting in a doggie door.

Dentist? Glasses?

Are they cheaper that way?

Pffft....guess an extra comma would have helped clarify.

Thanks for the laugh.

Grab some school clothes for the kids.

Renew my motor club membership...

...and several favorite magazine/journals I've not renewed (with money so tight getting funds together for filing). And recharge my Starbucks gift card from Mother's Day...home brewed not as tasty, sighhhhh.

I would go get myself some clothes.

I would probably start doing a little Christmas shopping. I could use some contact lens and there's a ton of stuff that needs doing around my house.

Get An AAA membership...

...so that if the tire blows before I get new ones...at least the tow would be covered...and pay a $100 on my cell phone bill and take that $50 and take mom and kids out for 4th of July tomorrow!

I would get some new tires for my car.

Use it to make a very small dent in our new non-dischargeable medical bills (I was hospitalized for three days with a severe infection 12 days after we filed Ch 13...sigh...)

I remember that and I just felt awful for you. Part of my pre-bk planning has to do with getting through some medical issues before filing--I can't believe that happened to you!

Thanks for the support, anon. Combined with our new mortgage company objection difficulties, it's been a tearful, worried day today. Doing my best to tie a knot and hold on through the storm. Don't know what I'd do without the wonderful people like yourself here.

Sending a "Poor Baby" your way, lrprn...

...and kudos for managing to be so supportive of everyone else here while going through your difficulties.

Dear lrprn:

Bless your heart!!! So sorry you had to go through that! How are you feeling these days? This process is stressful on a good day, much less when you feel like crap! We are looking at some whopper medical bills next month, but husband has to have the surgery!

Wishing you and yours a Happy Fourth of July!!

I would use the 250 to buy gas. Seriously, this is ridiculous. Gas is up .30/gallon because of the 4th of July. I have not seen that these gas prices have had any effect on the economy, which suprises me. Every extra penny goes in my tank! Someone must have a car to put on the market that gets 70 or more mpg.......please.......please.....
