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

 

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 :)

 

Now *that* I can go along with! :D

With an extra $5000 I would scrape together another $5000 and play in the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas.

With an extra $500 I would fly an escort into Las Vegas to celebrate my playing in the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas.

With an extra $50 I would tip the maid that placed new sheets on the bed for me and the flown in escort at the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas.

With an extra $ 5 I would buy mini-bar M&Ms to be hand-fed to my partner, while we messed up the sheets the maid placed on the bed, which my flown in escort and I messed up while we celebrated my playing at the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas.

With an extra $0.5 I would plug the nickel to be representative of my chances of having an extra $5000 to start to fund my playing in the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas.

I think you have $5 and $50 mixed up. Those mini-bars tend to be expensive!

No one pack of mini=bar m&m ought to do it. I like feeding something sweet to my partner right before or right after they orgasm. So I pack out to have enough of them. Now if I won the world series of poker, we might buy a whole damned Mars Candy factory

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?

 

What did you have in mind, sexy man? And when will we be doing it? I'll let you pick the dollar amount. :cool:

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

 

I designed a pair of Converse and I constantly get compliments on them. It's great fun being able to say "I designed them myself!"

:D I thought even that amount would be controversial since it would be given directly to a person, which may help sink someone deeper into an addiction. Nevertheless, I regularly give to street performers and various people asking for money. I give significantly more--though not huge amounts--to actual charities.

 

In reality, I'm not sure that I'd buy jewelry, since I tend to lose things often. I do need furs to keep me warm though, as my own glossy coat is mostly for show. ;)

You can also send Converse gift certificates. Great holiday gifts to the munchkins. Gives them a chance to express their true personality - and an indication that a psychiatry visit might be in order :D

$4,000 -- I would give it to my brother who is going through some hard time through no fault of his own.

 

$1,000 -- A train trip across Canada again. I did it in 1974, but a landslide in the Canadian Rockies meant flying over the best part of the ride. I did like Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and a few other Canadian city a lot. If the train ticket is over a $1,000 I would pay the difference.

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. :D

 

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.

 

You can find a guy for $50 dollars?

This seems particularly appropriate today, since we came home last night to discover that our a/c had broken down while we were away, and the temperature in the house was 95 (pretty good, considering that it was 107 outside). As I type this, the repairman is replacing the motor, which will use up a big chunk of that imaginary $5000. The rest I would give to the local shelter for domestic abuse victims, which has just lost some of its federal funding--they need air conditioning, too.
