What would you do if you got an extra $100?

Money in the bank earning interest is never a bad idea!

Nice!

Yeah sure it is. But I do not have a bank account for now.. .. Care to donate 100 so that I could start one?? bourne

Well my finance are on the kids this month, and huby's aren't tha great either, sice he's been the one to take care of eveyone he knows for the past 50 years, so being in he same boat, we might as well share the money. What he and I make on line and from the sale of our books is our personal money, but were it found money that probably belonged to the household anyway, we'd split it.

god. you are definitely a good wife. you would split up the 100 dollars. cool i would do that too.

That sounds fair! I wouldn't have thought to split it 50/50 with my spouse. We do a shared pot of money thing in our house. All the money goes in to pay bills, housing, electricity, food, gas, etc. And whatever is left over gets divided up as needs and wants arise. Plus some for savings. We are perpetually saving for another car. If we had a couple more thousand dollars monthly available things would be different. Everyone would have their own money!

looking for more extra money . digging around my whole house. hhahah

your comment made me remember when i recently cleaned out my old bags (traveling bags, laptop bags, shoulder bags and hand bags). in one bag i found about $10, in another it's about $50, and another one for about $100 and lastly i found my old collection of different currencies and it's probably amounting to $300-$400. that is really one of the benefits of doing the clean up. even if it's technically my money stashed in those bags and almost forgotten, it gave me the thrill of finding lost treasures. :)

Definitely!

may be buy sth for my life

Pay for the credit card first, if there is still some leftovers, buy something that you love.

We go through times like that too. And you're smart for stashing extra money away. This past time when my spouse was out of a job, he got unemployment checks, but that ran out. Lucky for us, I had stashed away some money ahead of time and we had enough to buy a small used car (since ours had broke down) and pay rent plus bills for one extra month until he could find a better paying job. Funny thing, I found the amount for rent stashed in the closet! How weird is that? I don't even remember putting it there. I used to do stuff like that. Guess it was smart, cause that money turned into our saving grace. We had it when we really needed it. Nowadays, I tuck away small bits of money here and there that noone misses. And when we need something major, the money is always there. Every penny and dollar really adds up and is so helpful when it's needed!

You think that's silly? Once I spent ten dollars on blue dye for my spouse's work pants. And after I got them done, I found five dollars in one of the pockets! Yep! It got dyed too. I spent that blue dyed five dollar bill! I took it like a rebate on my dye job!

oops, I see you paid bills with it. Good for you.

Yup! Found honestly in our house somewhere. I love you for your honesty. I love that you took that twnty dollar bill we found at Webers, to the customer service desk, even though at that time we boh really really needed it.

That's the way that I am. Get used to it. No matter how badly I need it (which I really did at that moment), it didn't belong to me and somebody else would have been hurt.
