Escapist, How Would You Spend £15k/$25k?

[similar.squirrel]

Put it in a savings account. There aren't many things that I want or need at the moment. I'd probably do a little travelling, but I'd keep my outgoings under a grand and a half.

For me it would be-
1. Pay off studen loan
2. Use the remaining money (student loan would of taken most of it) on clothing or games etc.

In your case I highly suggest keeping it in the bank for safe keeping like paying the bills and etc.

I would pay off the few debts I have and put together a full-on team to make my game! (instead of doing it all alone, as I have been)

164 000 SEK hmm...
Upgrade my computer pay back my student loan, and save the rest ... (probably will spend most on really stupid things ....)

new rig God i could spend about 10k on a new rig and would love every second of it

 

[mikeybuthge]

Save it up, never know when you're gonna,need a conveniently priced surgery

Ford Focus 2012 SE Sedan in White. Oh yeah.

So my question to you Escapist is, what would you do with that cash?
For me its a mortgage deposit (boring I know)

Money well spent. Last time I disposed of that amount of cash it was into my own spot too, getting it totally renovated (the bathroom alone cost >£6k). Of all the things there are to spend money on in this world, your own property is probably the best one (material-wise anyway) as all you're really doing is investing that cash to bring you a greater return later on.

Also, try and leave a little left over for the honeymoon. Congrats, fella - all the best to you and your (future) missus.

I'd spend a few grand pimping out my computer and/or entertainment system (TV, game consoles, etc.) and other nerdy stuff (anime, toys/figures, etc.).
I'd probably also try and get myself back into college. I had to drop out because it was too expensive.
As for the rest? I'd split it between my parents and various charities.

How... does a wedding cost so much? I'd hate to spend that much money for one day, that's me being stingy though. Good luck with it all though.
OT: Right now, I'd get all the Christmas presents in because I haven't yet and I'm getting near hysterical about it now. Give however much mum wanted to pay off any bills. Try get myself a new house and pay a couple of months rent in advance. Go on holiday because I haven't been on one for 6 years. Put rest in savings account.
Mainly sensible things. My sister managed to blow £13,000 in 6 months by buying stupid and pointless things ;_;

@EeveeElectro these aint exact figures
£500 on a car
£1000 brides dress
3 x £200 bridemaids dresses
£500 on suit hire for me, bestman and the 2 fathers
£1500 photographer
£750 on a singer
then the rest is flowers, cake, venue hire, registrar, favours, food and drink packages for 80 day time guests, buffet for 150 evening guests. and probably a few things I've forgotten

 

[Cowabungaa]

Most important things:

- College
- Driving license
- Housing
- Savings account

Secondary things I just want badly:
- A tailored suit
- A small holiday (I haven't been away for AGES)
- A new Xbox

And that's it.

this and my (houses) weigh in comics!!! (but first this)

 

[MetaKnight19]

Ideally, I would go travelling for a while. Realistically, most of it would go into my savings.

 

[Hoplon]

Well, since my baby sister is getting married, probably donate £10k to her wedding fund and then update the PC and bank the rest.

 

[EHKOS]

Lets see, a new PC, a nice suit, acquisition of PS2 titles including but not limited to ZOE 2, NFSMW Black Ed., .Hack series, and so forth. A five thousand dollar clunker because I don't have a car, I'd pay off my moms debt, and if I have enough left over I would renovate part of the kitchen....but then again the bathroom needs it more and it would be cheaper....
I'll tell you what I'd do if it had a zero added after the five, one word, Lamborghini.
