What would you do with a random $1000 bonus?

    I'm torn... I would either use some of it for some new wardrobe items and put the rest into savings;
    or
    Use it for a nice mini-vacation! I've been wanting to go back to our mini-moon spot on Lake Michigan and it'd be the perfect way to spend the money and do some extra things we didn't get to do the first time there...
    It is a bonus after all for you working extra hard, so why not do something to reward yourself and relax?

    I would save $500 or put it towards debt (if you have any)

    the other $500 would be play money.

    I got some extra cash last year and bought myself gift cards for a few stores that I like - it was nice having "free" coffee for a few months

    Save it or put it towards the vacation we're already planning.

    That's great! Good job!

    If I absolutely have to use it on myself... I would...

    A) Go on a huge shopping spree, purge most of my old stuff and start fresh with a smaller wardrobe but with some nicer classic pieces, This route is the best b/c the new wardrobe can last me for a whike

    B) Go on vacation with the hubs!

    I already have lots of fun budgets set up but no solid chunk for home improvement. (Yes, I know, priorities!!) So the bonus goes to Home Improvement. Yay for DH.

    Well our washer just broke so first it would pay for our new one. The remaining I would put toward some work we need done and a new mattress that we desperately need.

    Congrats!

    I'd put some towards the changes we want to make to our backyard next spring. Also a mani/pedi. Any leftover could go in the vacation fund.

    I would probably get myself a massage or something awesome like that. (New clothes are probably more practical - especially high quality items.) Then I would put the rest toward debt. Congratulations! What a happy surprise!
