What Would You Do With $50,000?
We’ve all done it. In fact, let’s do it right now.
What would you do with $50,000? {…happy daydream…}
Would you take the practical approach and put it towards things like bills or a mortgage? Perhaps you’d splurge and buy something you’ve always wanted yet couldn’t afford. Maybe a little both?
Myself, I think I’d combine want and need and get a new car. I’ve never been entirely thrilled with driving the silver rocket {aka, the minivan}. And while I’m grateful to have a vehicle at all, let’s face it, everyone and their parents drive a minivan. Someday I’d like to go back to a SUV {albeit a larger one this time}, and cozy into something newer and definitely a little fancier. So, $50,000 would bump up that ‘someday’ and make my daydream come true sooner rather than later.
On the other hand, the funds to travel more and experience the world is something anyone can relate to. A definite splurge is to hit the most prestigious and luxury of islands in Indonesia. I can picture myself relaxing in one of those adorable huts on stilts, hovering over crystal clear water. Ahhhh. Yet at the cost of thousands per day {eek}, it’s something attainable only if someone handed me $50,000 to do with what I wished.
So, what would you do with an extra $50,000?

Ooh, fifty grand? I would put some away for a TFSA (well, start one). Treat my family to dinner. Buy a sewing machine. Save some for a trip. And simply squirrel away the rest…rainy day fund, I suppose? It would be put to good use, that much I know. 😀
That sounds like a perfect, well laid out plan!
😉
I would buy a small cabin in the woods for a nice retreat 🙂
Great idea, sounds do relaxing!
I would put it towards a new car!
Any car, or do you have one in mind?
new vehicle for me and some house renos
U usually daydream about winning $100,000 but $50,000 is definitely worth daydreaming about. I think I’d be part practical and part fun.
Or maybe 1-10 million? lol
I could have some practical and part fun with 50K, for sure!
We would start building a house with 50,000! Thanks for the heads up.
I picked up a package today, someones gotta win, right?!
Good luck!
No dreaming here. Pay off existing debts and there’s a bit left to add to the retirement fund.
Retire with peace of mind, solid idea!
OOoooh! That would be a new beginning for my family! 30K on a downpayment on a house, 10K on a vehicle and then the rest in savings.
Good Reason to start buying Royale! is it easy on the sewer system?
Hi Darla, not sure, but you’d think it have to be.
If it’s good stuff, you do use less, that’s a plus. ha!
I would give hubby a new car and maybe some new clothes for me!
Great plan Tania, I never think of clothes yet I desperately need them!
Oh I know that kind of money should go towards mortgages payments and bills, but I would really love some hard wood floor and a fabulous European trip!
You had me at Europe, Steph!
Pay off some bills….and with the left over money…well, I’d buy a Tim Horton’s small coffee!
Ha!! Splurge and get a large, Lee. Really let that hair down!
🙂
I would probably be boring and put most of it away and invest it. But first, I would splurge a little on my family. Perhaps a trip somewhere or a nice gift for each person.
That sounds lovely Sophia!
house upgrades, I already have every thing planned, from a new bathroom to extending the house so I know longer live in the basement and actually have a room to eat in LOL
I’d put it towards paying off all our bills and car payment and student loans–it would be great to not worry about that.
I’d pay off line of credit our kids student line of credits and whatever left over buy things for our new house.
Most dedicated nurses today are offering, the costs and man-hours than will the contractors it is actually incumbent on you.
If you are the unlicensed contractors company could provide quality roofing and
contracting officers away from the IRS.
