What would you do with $1000 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

1968GMC · 02-12-2004, 10:22 PM

My mom sold her house and gave me $1000 what should I do with it.

Alexis · 02-12-2004, 10:26 PM

got any bills? if not then see what needs fixing around the house. If the house is fine maybe a night out with the family and with the extra cash have a little fun with the truck.

Send it to me!

Have some fun or buy something you need with 20% of it. Save the other 80% for your kid in your avitar pic.

Yeah, what bow-tie-bandit said!

same thoughts here!, but maybe put $500.00 into a "savings account" for your daughter, i doubt your wife will let you touch it. take $400.00 and divide that into each "interest paying account",,, (mortage,credit card,) and send that in "addition" with this months payments,,,, take the last $100 and go have a good time!! maybe take mom out to dinner as thanks for the money!!!!!!!! jeff

Spend it on your family. Treat yourselves to something you have been wanting. That is a pretty generous Mom you have. My Mom usually just gives me a good kick in the a$$.

WHAT WOULD I DO WITH $1000??
I would take it up the road to RENO and bet it all on RED!!
But Seriously. Buy something you have always wanted for your truck!!

Save $500, spend the rest.

Pay bills first...buy stuff you need, and spend whatever on the truck

minibike · 02-13-2004, 12:17 AM

10% to the church.

rn2fine · 02-13-2004, 12:25 AM

After giving 10 percent to the church I would take the little ones to Disneyland.

Take $800 Open savings for Kid, take the rest and have a great dinner with Family.

If it was me...I'd put it all into my truck.... but thats just me.

As long as you have a little bit stashed away for emergencys, have some fun.
As for pouring it into your truck, try this. Seems to always work out the best. (Asuming your truck is a daily driver) pick the one thing about your rig that bugs you the most, or is the biggest PITA, and fix it.
