I probably wouldn't be able to resist spending a little bit to buy some books. (I'm a real book-addict and I'm always buying new books to read) But the majority of it I would put away into my savings. I'm at a point in my life where I need to save lots of money. Pretty much everything I earn these days goes away into my savings.

I love answering these "what-would-you-do-if" kind of questions. :) First, I'd get my fiancee to apply for a passport and have it fast-tracked so he can have it before Christmas time. Second is buy him a plane ticket so he can come with me to my home country, just in time to celebrate Christmas with my family and so he'll be able to meet my family and vice versa. Third is to invest it in a business. Fourth is to send some money to my close friends who are in the mission fields. Fifth is to buy myself some new clothes and shoes and to buy my loved ones their Christmas gifts. :) Ah, how I really could use a thousand bucks right now.

I'd give it to my boyfriend. He's up to his neck in medical bills right now. He could really use the money. He has insurance, but it covers very little of what he has to pay! So an extra $1000 would make a big difference for him! Of course, he might refuse to take the money from me! If that were the case, I'd use the money to pay our rent so that would give him more of his own money to spend on his medical bills! Either way I'd want to help him out!

I would just save it... I have enough money to be happy right now... So if I get some extra money... I would surely save it for the future needs...

I would save most of it for sure. If I could think of something nice and useful to spend $100 on, I might do that, but I would save at least $900.

I would buy some things I really want, but I know that I'm not going to be getting a thousand dollars any time soon.

I would split it up. I would use $800.00 of it to pay bills or buy necessities and use the rest to treat my family and myself to something nice.

I would put half of it back for my upcoming business/relaxation trip. And then I would put the rest on bills. I would probably put most of it on my credit card bill! There wouldn't be any saving it, Ineed it all right now! lol!

I would use it to pay for a round-trip plane ticket to the Philippines. I have never been there for 3 years now and I missed my family:-(

That's over forty thousand pesos here in the Philippines, so I'd probably use it to pay my sisters' tuition fees, buy them their request of new pairs of school shoes, and well use some of it pay my credit card bills. And I'd be so much thankful to God for such a blessing!
