What would you do with 5k?


How would you spend USD $5,000?

reply

$5,000 really isn't much money. In the US that's like... a couple of hospital stays. So I'd probably put that away and save it for a rainy day.

reply

Yeah, me too. It’s not a sexy answer but it would go straight into my savings account.

reply

Me too. I can't travel and I don't need a new car or anything major, so it'd go in the Condo Fund.

reply

It's one CT scan.

new mountain bike.
wouldn't completely pay for what i might be looking at, but it would get me most of the way there.

reply

Nice, thanks for sharing.

I am so far considering a watch.

reply

Get a 500$-1000$ watch is my suggestion. Keep the rest for fun activities like camping or gambling.

Huh?

reply

Donate it all to that poor Nigerian Prince who is in prison and who can't get his hands on his money right now, the poor man needs our help! He sends me emails daily.

reply

Yes, he emailed me as well and promised if I sent him 5 thousand bucks today he'd pay me $ 50,000 next month!
Who could say no to that?!?

reply

Yup, I'm still waiting for my payment, well it's been 15 years now but hes is in jail, who am I to complain?

reply

It's money in the bank only it's not in the bank yet

reply

I'd just put it in the bank.

reply

I'm assuming it's a gift or extra money a person suddenly acquires?

Normally, I would spend it on a trip, but that isn't happening right now, so I would probably use part of it to do some landscaping and maybe buy some gold coins with the rest.

reply

Nice.

reply

I'd refinish the basement

Jeez I'm boring:/

reply

LOL I thought about getting a watch but 2 friends kinda talked me out of it saying that every watch does the same thing... idk what to get now.

reply

Yeah, I didn't want to pick a fight man but watches seem pretty useless really, these phones nowadays do it all! I haven't worn a watch in 15 years

5K could get you and your Lady a very nice trip somewhere👍

*apologies, I just realized I assumed your gender and that's apparently a big 'no-no' now...

I’m a sucker for Breitlings.

reply

I know lol, we have a couple of watch guys here, just stirring up some controversy 😁

reply

So is my son.

reply

He has good taste.

reply

I love watches and the two I like best, a Concord and a Cyma, are both waterproof, so I swim, shower, and sleep with a watch on. I would be totally lost without a watch.

reply

I hate jewelry in general, I wear my wedding band under protest...I'm on my third wedding band now, I've lost a couple but so far have kept the wife lol

Here's to hoping this ship keeps sailing🤞

reply

I’d add it to my ‘Bond style villain’s island and death ray’ fund.

reply

Your'e going to need a lot more money, 5 grand will barely cover the fluffy Persian Cat, the tuxedo and the eyepatch

reply

Oh I already have a ‘take over the world’ fund going.

reply

Funny, I have a 'World, please piss off and leave me alone' fund going...

I've got $18 saved up so far but I'll probably need more

reply

Garage, booze, smokes, rock music, guy stuff, what else do you need, lol.

reply

I am always seeing these internet ads that say "Where to invest $1,000" and I'm thinking if I only have $1,000 in the bank that's staying in the bank.

reply

I fell this.

I too hear all the time about if you have money in the bank you are a sucker you should be investing and God bless those people but I have been stressed the fvck out broke. It's not fun. Its not somewhere I want to be.

I'd rather have $1,000.00 under my mattress, than invested somewhere that may or may not return my money.

I just can't.
