How Would you Spend 10 Grand?
 

Regardless of whether it's dollars, pounds, euros, whatever, how would you spend it? You can't use it for responsible things like rent, mortgage, paying off loans. You can only spend it in shops.

God, this would be so easy.

1. Clothes
2. Shoes
3. Clothes
4. Beer
5. Wine
6. A lot of dining out in my new clothes and shoes
7. Airplane tickets to fly to see my wife
8. Records

First edition copies of every Washington Irving book.

10 thousand dollars is nothing these days.

so, probably something ridiculous and fun.


cake, perhaps.

That's lazy. Details!

1. whores
2. cocaine
3. viagra
4. defibrillator

actually along with cake, I'd probably also organise some nice custom wardrobe items. Because off the rack clothes usually look silly on me.

This is kind of funny, because my cousin in FL actually got a chance at this. They won a contest where they were allowed to spend $10,000 at the mall, but they had to do it in 30 minutes. What did her and her husband do?

They bought a $10,000 diamond. They figured they would resell it and then have all of that cash to spend however they wanted. Unfortunately, as well all know, jewelry is WAY over priced and resells way less than what you would pay at a jewelry store, especially one in the mall. They got about $1500 back from selling it, which just barely covered the taxes they had to pay out of pocket in their original purchase.

^^ hilarious.

wow that would suck...

hAAAAAAAAAAAA!




ok sorry. maybe it wasn't funny to them.

I have $17,000 and I have no idea what to do with it. I'm saving to buy a house one day.

should have bought those citibank stocks at $1

they now almost $4

17 = $68K

ok, not all huevos in 1 canasta

Either:

I'd use it to pay for a nice holiday on a Greek island for myself, my girlfriend, and either my dad and stepmum or a select handful of friends.

Or:

I might use it to do something nice for a good friend of mine who is pretty ill.

I think I'm going to stop working for like 6 months. Tour. That might be fun.

not working for 6 months is only great if you have grand plans and stick to them.

No, it wasn't, but that doesn't make it any less funny to me.

id spend ten grand easily.....

$10,000, you say?

why, I'd put more hotels on Boardwalk, of course.

stop by anytime.

That's lazy. Details!

only in stores?

guitar pedals
LCD TV
hockey gear
drum set
PA system
bass amp
recording gear
hoosier I saw at this antique store for my kitchen
craftsman drill press and bits
a new fridge/freezer
an all copper chambers stove with all the equipment
some axes and other outdoor tools
a 50 foot extension ladder and safety equipment
stuff to patch my gutters with
some paint for my kitchen
a few cases of skullsplitter orkney ale
a few bottles of chivas regal and jameson
records

That's an awesome story and a good life lesson!

Reading this thread has made me realize that I could have anything I want. I just don't want anything. I think, generally, people just want things they can't have.. and when they can have it, it doesn't seem as thrilling anymore. No material object has ever made me feel fulfilled, personally.

I don't ever really want stuff either.

material wealth is overrated.

travel
musical equipment
big party
charity

i'd pay off my debts and then spend the rest on a trip abroad and some records, and probably one weekend of carnage.

Rather boringly, I'd probably get some nice bagpipes (Uillean), get some shoes and hats made and a cunting great stereo. From that I'd anticipate I'd get about 32p change, which I'd spend on some Asda own-brand shaving foam.

one weekend of pure debouchery for sure.

I'd buy sonicyouth.com/gossip and ban all you fuckers.

a vintage moog synth
blow
moon boots

I might buy 10 grand worth of Carmello candy bars.

you people reminded me of this episode of Cribs that I watched about 10 years ago.

remember Sisqo? he did "The Thong Song". it goes like this: "thong thong-thong thong thong".

well, this was Sisqo's crib.

the first thing that he showed off was this giant fucking roman statue right inside his front door. he claimed that it cost him a fortune.

all I could think was: "in 10 years, I'm going to be making fun of this guy for blowing his money on a motherfucking statue".

...


HEXXXXXX

xoxo syg, for reminding me of Sisqo.

sisqo lives!

well, I hope he's enjoying his statue.

it's going to be a bitch to move when he can no longer pay the mortgage on his fucking CRIB.

if it weren't for the motherfucking statue you'd have long forgotten about him.

cribs are temporary, statues are forever.

I never forget. it's all there....somewhere.

Build a visually accurate Ghosbusters proton pak, PKE meter, and ghost trap.

Fly to LA. Hit up their vintage shops (I read an article about all of the cool vintage shops that have sales on wierd days of the month.. and, oh my god, i almost died. shit from the 1930s for 10$??!! aah!)
Fly somewhere less shitty... Maybe chicago. Hang out. Buy a bus pass. See some sights. Buy a greyhound ticket and travel my ass off.

It'd be more reasonable to spend it on college, but pfft. Who needs a future when you've got 10,000$ to spend in the moment

i don't know. i own quite a lot of money but that's for emergency situations, since i chose quite a risky career path.

if i had 10 000 euros i'd probably do some travelling. can't think of anything expensive i want or need.
