Re: If you found $100 and had to.....

I would buy a Keurig for a friend who has always wanted one for her little training studio.

Re: If you found $100 and had to.....

Funny you should ask!  This Memorial Day I decided to rest and study for my RE license. Then I went for a walk. Low and behold I looked down and saw something that resembled money.  I picked it up and it was $200 dollar bills! I thought they were fake so i put them in my pocket and finished my walk.

 

A few day later I went to the bank and withdrew some cash, which included a few hundred dollar bills.  I remembered the money I found and compared the bills and they were real!

 

I found 2 $100 dollar bills! I put them in an envelope and thy're still there!

Re: If you found $100 and had to.....

I find the question odd.

 

I wouldn't have to keep it and buy something for myself.  There are plenty of places to donate either the $ or donate items purchased with the $.

 

So the question really is would you keep it and what would you buy or would you use it/give it away.

 

My answer would be purchase those airline compliant toiletries and donate to a shelter aksing for such items.  You can get a lot for $100.

While I would prefer to donate to an animal shelter, paying attention to what the OP said "had to buy something for yourself"

 

May-be some shrubs or plants

Go out with DH and eat lobster

Hire someone to power wash my driveway

Walk around a farmers' market and buy a little bit of everything, yum

No question - I would donate it to a local animal shelter to defray their medical costs for these sweet animals.

I am lucky to find a penny a week.

If I found $100, I darn sure would not give it someone else.  I'd go to Sephora and buy some new lipstick and nail polishes in summer colors.

Gas for the car and then groceries with whatever was left.
