What I plan to do with my WINDFALL!!

Darcy, at Life with My 3 Boybarians, just did a post talking about what SHE is going to do with her HUGE WINDFALL that President Obama recently signed into law. Of the $789,000 Billion dollars, that's BILLION with a "B" folks, we each get a whole, whopping....wait for it.......wait for it.........

$13.00 A WEEK!!!!

WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOO! Well, since I am suddenly rich, I have started thinking about all the things I am going to buy or do with all this money.

Let me see,

-I could upgrade my carwash to "Super-Duper Clean"

or

-Buy my two kids a Mighty-Max Happy Meal at McDonald's.
(Hubby and I will just watch them eat)

or

-Pay for ONE of my children's lunch at school for a week (sorry, one of ya'll will have to be hungry)

or

-It will pay for me to drive half-way to work for one day (I guess I will walk the other 45 miles and then try to hitch a ride for the 90 mile journey home and then I have to figure out how to make the entire journey the next day)

or

-Buy a pack of panties at Wal-Mart (not fancy, sexy one's..... but granny panties)

If I save up my windfall for a month....that will give me a WHOPPING $52.00!!!

That, my dear friends, offers entire new possibilities. I can:

-Put one whole tank of gas in my SUV, which will get me to work for two days (as long as gas doesn't go up)

or

-Take my WHOLE family, my mom included, out to a nice meal at SUBWAY! (EVEN COOKIES!)

or

-Make the minimum payment on ONE of my multiple credit cards (one of the lower limit accounts)

or

-Get basic, no frills hair cuts for my two children and my husband. (I'll just have to learn to love my split ends and foot-long gray roots)

or

-Buy a couple of pairs of "Fancy" Panties at Lane Bryant (you know, because I'm a big gal)


Now, if I am really frugal and I'm able to save all of my weekly windfall, at the end of THIS year (Next year, we only get $8.00 per week), I will have a HUGE $624.00!!! Now with THAT much money, my friends, I can REALLY do some damage!!! I can:

-Make one car payment.

or

-Buy a basic, no-frills laptop. (so I can blog even more!!)


or

-Buy school supplies for my kids for one year.

or

-Pay one months health insurance premiums.

or

-Take my kids to the beach for a one night vacation, to a place we can drive to. (No souvenirs, though)

or

-Buy new underwear for EVERYONE in my family, including a couple of pairs of those sexy panties from Lane Bryant! (Hubba Hubba!)




OK, now what I CANNOT do with my windfall....

-I cannot afford to be a stay-at-home mama.

-I cannot make even a little dent in my mortgage. (either one of them)

-I cannot pay off my credit cards.

-I cannot buy new, much needed, tires for my SUV.

-I cannot afford the oral sugery that my daughter needs.

-I cannot afford to take my family to Rhode Island to see the new Polar Bear Exhibit.

-I cannot afford to buy sexy panties from Lane Bryant to wear every day. (sorry honey)


So, what are your big plans for your newly found money???

Thanks Darcy for such a great idea!!
