$100 dollars in the US probably is not that much but in some others country ,it may be a salary for the whole month for lots of people.Well,I don't care which country you are in at the moment,but if and only if,you happen to have a gift for $100 USD from somebody you knew.How would you spend this $100 USD in the most constructive way?Will you buy some peanuts and sell it more more money?Will you give it to the needy people?Will you put it in your bank?Will you just give it to the charity for donation.Share with us since you must have something in your mind already?

If I had a hundred dollars I would use it to rent a few movies, buy some candy and chips and rent a motel room and spend the light with the DVD player and my junk food. I consider that a pretty productive night. Well, maybe not that productive but that's what I really want to do right now.

You are very right that $100 in the United States isn't very much money at all. I can think of a lot of constructive things that I would do with a one hundred dollar gift. I think that right now if I had an extra hundred dollars I would use it to get a wall mount for our new television that we bought last month. This would be very constructive to us because it would make our living room appear to be much larger than it is because it would mean that we could get rid of our old television that we are currently using as a stand for the new television.

I would probably use it to pay off some of my debt. I would like to be able to get rid of my debt and get back on my feet and having a gift of 100$ would be of a great help.

My mind is pretty tight right now..so I can only think two things to do with that money. First is invest it on trust worthy investment company. Second, join intriguing MLM that I think will be around for a long time. Next, do some charity.

If I would receive a gift for $100 and that is quite an amount in my currency. I would use this to fund a project I have been working on. The project is about rehabilitating street children. what made me work on this project? I have noticed that there had been an increasing number of street children in my city, this is quite alarming for me as I have never seen this number ever since my childhood days. I am planning to set up a small classroom in my parent's office building,( if they allow me), buy school supplies, age appropriate learning materials, electric fan, and all that is needed for a small classroom. I was also thinking of asking help from the state university to allow their student teachers to have their students practice teach in this small classroom, so I do not have to pay for teachers, because that's something I would not be able to afford at the moment. All these are in the planning stage and I do need suggestions on how to go about it. So thts how I would spend a $100 gift.

If I was given 100 dollars I would buy a tin of white wood pant to make my front door look lovely. Then I would buy two new light shades for my lounge. In addition I would buy some curtain for my bedroom. Those changes would make my house look great enough to sell. I wish to buy a bungalow so my disabled son will get on better.

You are right $100 dollars in the US is not much at all. However, I would probably be able to do a complete food shopping for myself. I won't have to shop for another month or so. I eat very little and healthy foods at that. I would also buy certain foods that my granddaughter loves such as pizza, chinese chicken, and apples.

That much money barely pays my bills. I'm in the US so that isn't a whole lot. It would probably cover internet and cable. But, nothing else after that, and those would be pushing it. If I recieved that though I'd put it in the bank. I would most likely need the money at some point help with establishing some sort of savings.

Having just become unemployed again after a short stint with a job, I would pay $50 on my property tax and buy some household items like cleaning fluid, soap, etc. It also depends on when I got the $100 because I might have to pay some bills with it.

hi! If I have $100 now I will go and pay my study fee, because I haven't collected all the money I need to pay it! but if I have already paid it, then I would probably go to the book store and buy the books I need or some that i really like, but haven't got the money to afford it till now

I will deposit that amount in the bank first to earn interest. Nowadays we need to be practical and wise in expending money due to worldwide unstable economy. We need to save to ensure our family needs.Share it also to less fortunate people by giving food or alms.
