$5,000 cash so this is your net profit.  Lets say you sold an old car or played a little semi high stakes poker and had a good night.

 

What would you do with it?  

 

Me, I think I would just play the stock market.  I would view it as a free $5,000...let's get aggressive.  I would consult with a few people I know who are very knowledgeable about the market and then swing for the fences.  In 10 years, I want to be able to buy the Bills.  @Gugny will be Billy Buffalo.  @teef will run Alcohol Concessions.  @ScottLaw will be Randy Quaid from Major League II the Bills fan version.

Put all of it on 25 on roulette wheel.  Chances are it doesn’t hit.  But if it does- 

$5000 x 35 = $ 175,000

now let’s party!

I thought at first you were talking about the one thing you wouldn't do is make the infamous 5K bet against the Bills? :D I think I'd buy some pre-wrapped sausages and bacon, and maybe a fur coat (but not a real fur coat, that's cruel)...oh, wait, that's for the if I had a million dollars thread, never mind. 

 

Probably would be spent by the missus before I could figure out what I wanted to do with it.

I would party with people who rhyme with trippers.

Probably put it to a new car fund though answering the question seriously ?

 

I sure wouldn’t tell anyone though.  People have weird obsessions over other people’s money

  I could put 5,000 dollars into the house pretty easily without waste such as upgrading windows and pre-buy heating oil for the winter.  If there is a few hundred dollars left the tiller needs some work.  Maybe some mid-season veggies could go in the garden.

$5,000

 

minus $1,000 of the best cubic zirconia earrings and necklaces

minus $400 airfare to NYC or Hollywood, FL

 

Pocket $3600 and offer the jewelry to Le'Veon at "a steal" for $50,000

 

Easy peezy, lemon squeezy

Put 5-10% aside to do something fun.  Pay down my highest-interest debt with the rest.  

 

One thing I've found, for myself at least, is that with any windfall, putting a little aside for some frivolity makes me feel more positive about using the rest responsibly.
