If you had an extra $5,000....

[Bryanforservice]

Interesting question just to get the juices flowing on the message boards....

 

Assuming you had all your bills and "have to do's" paid for, what would you spend an extra $5,000 on?

 

What about $500?

 

What about $50?

 

What about $5?

[Guest Starbuck]

Well, if you asked while I was staring at your avatar (which I have previously praised), I'd ask when you are visiting the East Coast ... oh wait! ... you did ask while I am staring at your avatar ... so ... when???

 

P.S. I suppose I am responding to the $500 question, because I know you're not a $50 (let alone $5!) kinda guy and I, sadly, am not a $5,000 kinda guy.

[Zman]

An extra $5000? Maybe stash some away for a rainy day. But I'd probably splurge on an overnight or weekend with one of my favorite escorts. It'd be fun for me and a nice bonus for him. I usually don't go over two hours.

 

$500? Probably treat myself to an hour or two with a totally new guy: someone well-reviewed that I've been following for a while.

 

$50? IDK an event maybe....a play or something.

 

$5 Lunch at a cheap place

Where do you get lunch for $5.00?

True. There a few places in Downtown LA you can get a decent sandwich for take out for around that. But come to think of it an overpriced, sinfully-rich, freshly-baked desert from a bakery may be a better choice.

You can get lunch for $5.00 at Del Taco, especially if you go on Taco Tuesday!

 

As for Bryan's questions... interestingly, the only one I'm really having trouble with is the $5,000 one. But that's a problem I'd like to have!

 

With an extra $500, I'd hire one of the guys I've lusted after who are unfortunately out of my price range.

With an extra $50, I'd treat myself to a new pair of shoes. My current addiction is Converse high tops.

With an extra $5? LOL, I don't know, probably hit Starbucks. Or Ben & Jerry's, if I happened to be near one.

I MUST pay off debt with any of the aforementioned dollar amounts. Reality bites.

An extra $5,000 would be an extra vacation - perhaps taking my 9-year-old nephew to Disney.

An extra $500 would be dinner with friends at a nice steak house and quality wine.

An extra $50 would be an extra pedicure.

An extra $5 would be a lottery ticket purchase.

$5 - Overpriced yuppie latte

$50 - latte with decent dinner

$500 - latte, better dinner, and theater tickets

$5,000 - latte, dinner, and theater tickets for me and two hot escorts to start the weekend of fun

[Wolfer]

An extra $5000: 4000 would go into a savings account while I use the left over 1000 to hire gentlemen.

$500: hire a vocal coach, been wanting to do that for ages

$50: er... Maybe go out to dinner in restaurants. I don't have expensive tastes and there is very good food to be had where I live at midrange prices.

$5: just cash in the wallet. I always seem to forget to have cash handy in my wallet.

[Racketjock]

With $5,000- a nice week in the south of France

With $500 - some fireworks with Andrew Justice, Alec Andrews, or Juan

With $50- new underwear for me to peel off one of the above

With $5 - a snowcone (it's hot here in Texas!)

A bit more than $50 but go to converse.com and build a custom design of your own to satisfy that addiction.

I would give it to a deserving young person to enable him to learn a trade and perhaps change his life.

[RyanDean]

$5 would be exchanged for coins to be placed in my "spare change" piggy bank (which fills up about every 2-3 years with enough to buy a Broadway ticket or a very nice dinner).

 

$50 would buy a theatre ticket via TDF.

 

$500 would go directly into my *other* piggy bank, where every week I dutifully put aside some extra folding money so that I might occasionally splurge on special pleasures (ie. gents like -- I hope one day soon -- BryanFS).

 

$5k would be split roughly in three parts, with the first part going toward the monthly subsidy I provide for a family member and the second applied to one of several looming major purchases (ie a new car, a new computer, or new post-weightloss wardrobe). The final third would probably be held in reserve for a special "extended session" with an as-yet-undetermined gent.

[bigvalboy]

I would put the 5k down on rental property...and yes, at that "price point" in FTL 5k is very "doable" as a down. Most likely the property would need some "upgrades", but it's "value added" and the best way to "optimize my capital"... With interest rates still doable, and stagnating somewhere in the single digits, it might be time to "offload stress" and "pull the trigger" on this project.

 

Oh yeah...

$500 would be spent on a new piece of Tumi luggage (I wants a new carry on)

$50 on a CL or BP boi the night before it's "wheels up" for the west coast with my new Tumi.

$5 would go in the center console of the car for that emergency stop at 7-11 for a Red Bull and a snickers, just before I meet with the contractors at my new rental property.

I print out fake money with pictures of naked men to drop in the kettle.

Alright the red kettle wasn't the best example. But it was all that came to mind at the moment.

 

How about $50 to Toys for Tots, with an added bonus of the hot marines which collect for the program. It is a win win for all
