[Still Raining]

I would treat myself to a nice sofa.

I would feel like I would need to spend it on bills or save it. However, if this were not an issue, I would get my hair colored and styled. Then, I would take DH out and we'd have a nice dinner and spend whatever was left on whatever!!!

A new bed. Probably wouldn't be enough to buy the one I truly want, though.

Funny that I haven't been able to think of anything. Maybe reading the others' posts might give me some ideas.

In 2015 . . . the question needs an upgrade . . .

IF You Received TEN Thousand Dollars To Spend on Yourself, What Would You Buy?

These days . . . a thousand doesn't go too very far . . . kinda like when my husband and I got married . . . our little "rule" . . . not written in stone of course . . . was purchases over 500.00 we'd make mention/discuss with each other . . . nowadays . . . eh maybe over 1,000.00 we might make mention of it to the other beforehand. More so out of consideration NOT to be confused with permission.

I was surprised to read the amount of expensive items some think they would be able to buy with $1000.

If we are spending the money on ourselves, I'd spend a night in a posh NYC hotel suite and if I had enough money leftover, order room service.

No kidding, I was thinking the same thing! Naïve huh?

I always buy for others more. Even when I got my dads little bit of money that was left after he died (and the home took most of it), I bought my daughter/her family and my son things with 85% of the money.

But since you said spend it on yourself, Id buy a touch screen laptop.lol. Even though we have 2 laptops, an iPad, and an electronic tablet. Because Ive been wanting a touch screen!

Shorty..this is OT totally..but you say stuff like this all the time and it is so WRONG.

The home did not TAKE it like you imply it was for your father's care! NOW granted I have many issues with Nursing Homes and their level of care..that said ..regardless of the feelings towards that and I agree with all of the things wrong with those places..but in reality we cannot care for them at home..so that given..why should his assets not be used for his care? It happened with my in-laws..their home was sold and used to pay the high cost of care at a Nursing Home..I had many issues with that place including their care but they were entitled to be paid and that is often thru assets and was in their case. For two of them...they were self pay due to the value of their home when it was sold. It is what is it..

You have stated before you would of hid or taken the money and that way it wouldn't of gone for his care but then the tax payers would of been left paying for the care so you can have your 'inheritance..' as deny it or not..it isn't like they can take it with then..and thas is just so wrong on many levels.

Not trying to be snarky but pointing out my opinion on something you post often as snide remarks insinuating they "took" this money.

IDK. I don't really need anything, so I'd probably donate it...either to a homeless shelter or an animal shelter.
