$7900

[amdhunter]

$7900 would wipe out my debt by ~80%. It's all car loan debt so it's not so bad.

What would $7900 do for you?

Hmm...dollar amount threads.I seem to remember what happened the last time with these.

Knock off the parody threads. This is your one warning. You're lucky I am feeling generous.

Pay 1/5 of my college expenses this year.

 

[Away]

Go towards the house I am buying later this year.

 

[Mojoed]

It would be a 33% down payment for my Acadia heat pump system.

 

[akshatp]

Increases my savings by about 22%

 

[hdeck]

this

 

[Pocatello]

Get rid of 50% of my student loans.

 

[spidey07]

Make for a very good time in vegas. I'm not kidding. Screw the hookers and blow, I want to gamble. I want to play.

You should lend me some money.

Damn. I'd have spent that money on a house instead.

 

[ArJuN]

That would go straight to investments.

 

[njdevilsfan87]

Begin my investing career while the stock market is low. Screw paying the student loan right away, I'll do that over time just like everyone else. 🙂

Sure. At 5% interest.

Raise my net worth (outside of home ownership) "to" $7,900. It's been a rough couple of years! 🙁

 

[GoingUp]

Go into the bank for a rainy day, or at least until I could save up some more towards paying my car off.

 

[Slew Foot]

Put it towards savings

 

[JMapleton]

Buy an awesome computer.

You can do that, but I bet it still won't run Crysis with all the eye-candy maxed out.

 

[MotF Bane]

Take out a fourth of my current college loan value.

SMU is expensive, luckily scholarships cover a lot for me, especially considering I'll be here for ~5 more years if I do the MBA/Law program that I plan to.

Pay 30% of my student loans.

They talk about student loans being not all that bad, and not to pay them off early. With parts of the loan at 6.8%, the other above 7%, I don't see how that is that is really true. Especially considering what else would I put the money in? The rate of return on most everything is crap.

 

[Finalnight]

pay for 11.8 months rent.

[SpunkyJones]

It would simply go in the bank, nothing else to do with it right now.
