LOL</p> <p>If I have a full 15k, I'd make myself spend 2k on shopping. Well maybe more because I don't know how much things cost anymore. I haven't shopped for myself for ages it is pathetic. And I'd like to not shop at the Sale isle and not having to worry about the price tag... OK maybe 4k shopping lol.</p> <p>The rest of it goes to savings and may contribute to a trip or two in the future. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-with-15k-right-now/page/2#post-740695 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 19:25:05 +0000 Dandelion 740695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Replace my pitiful car and take a trip </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-with-15k-right-now/page/2#post-740694 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 19:24:19 +0000 Lindsay05 740694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pay off a majority of my student loans. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-with-15k-right-now/page/2#post-740668 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 19:06:49 +0000 Arden 740668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have no debt, so we'd probably spend about $10,000 on a travel trailer so we have a place to stay on furloughs, and then the rest would be split between some things we really need (cloth diapers, some quality clothes for all of us, and a DSLR) and savings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-with-15k-right-now/page/2#post-740650 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 18:54:45 +0000 Sweet T 740650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pay off a credit card, buy 3 tickets home for Christmas, put the rest into savings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-with-15k-right-now/page/2#post-740644 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 18:50:21 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 740644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pay off student loan debt, then put the rest in our investment and retirement accounts!... and skim $500 off the top to go on a nice weekend getaway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-with-15k-right-now/page/2#post-740613 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 18:38:00 +0000 hilsy85 740613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Invest it, most likely! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-with-15k-right-now/page/2#post-740611 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 18:37:12 +0000 StbHisMrs 740611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pay off hubby's ex-wife, then save the rest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-with-15k-right-now/page/2#post-740025 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 13:57:47 +0000 bunnylove08 740025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pay off our debt and save the rest for our first home </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-with-15k-right-now/page/2#post-740021 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 13:57:18 +0000 T-Mom 740021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would put most of it in savings and then probably use the rest to fund an attorney to put together our living will and trust (so terrible that we haven't done this yet with 2 kids already)! </p>
