What would you do if you had an extra...
$1 000
$10 000
$100 000
(Or I could ask you "If I had a million dollars" and then you'd all have that song stuck in your head 
)
Farewell, nesticle, you will be missed

Re: GTKY: If I had...
What would you do if you had an extra...
$1000 - buy a new wardrobe that fits me right now
$10000 - redo my kitchen cabinets
$100000 - add on a master suite to the house with a big bathroom and walk in closets, and I'd have about 30K leftover to do something with so I'd still buy that wardrobe.
Thanks the song is already in my head now.
$1 000: I'd pay for someone to finish painting the house. Or buy the kids a swing set. Or maybe I could do both if I went for a used set?
$10 000: Re-do my kitchen
$100 000: I'd get this house to where I want it. That includes new kitchen, new bathrooms, new windows, new landscaping. And whatever money is left I would use for some fancy family vacation. I might even pay for a sitter to tag along so that DH and I could enjoy some alone time without having to leave the kids at home
$1000- I would buy some unnecessary clothes and toys for my son.
$10,000 - I would use it to finish the house, I still need septic/gas/water/electric installed.
$100,000- Pay off the loan we got to build the house.
$1Mil- Do the above and help some family members get out from living in the ghetto. Save $75k for college funds.
$1,000- I'd buy more clothes & purses I don't need for me & B
$10,000- I'd pay off our two cars (I owe $3000 on mine & $4,000 on MH's) & put the rest in B's 529
$100,000- I'd put some away for B, buy a bigger car, take a family trip to Ireland, Greece, or both.
$1 milli- buy one of my dads apartment complexes from him, put $300,000 in B's 529, take of work longer to spend with B & travel.

10000, updates around the house like a fence, bathrooms, new paint and curtains, and whatever is left would go into the kitchen.
100000, the aforementioned updates plus some, pay off some debt, and save the rest for when we relocate in a few years.
