Got my raise! What should I do with my extra $4.50 a paycheck?

[Dr. Zaus]

Put it in a high yield security mutual fund; something with disgusting rates like 9.7%.

Then for the next 30 years put that 4.50 into the account every 2 weeks.

By retirement you'll have just over 40,000 to spend; or maybe no money... but it's not like you lost anything you cared about AND it might return over time.

Buy some marmalade for your toast in the mornings.

If you are lucky you can afford to buy one gallon of gasoline.

Some stations here in Chicago about to pass $4.50 so you won't even be able to do that.

Looks like will blow by five towards $6 by Memorial Day.

Donald Trump said $8

I'm sure he has better information so must be heading to $8.

I think I got a dollar net in "inflation raise" money. merit increase in June, which might be $20...

 

[DrunkenSano]

After adjusting for inflation and increased health care costs I not make an extra $4.50 per paycheck.

Now that I have entered elite status I am wondering what island to buy. Suggestions? Other things I can do with $4.50 every two weeks? I could almost go out to lunch once!

Gas prices are going up so it balances out, you do nothing.

$4.50 is a lot of money. If you saved it up for 10yrs, you could buy hookers and blow!

 

[Krazy4Real]

Just wait for the end of the month hookers & blow specials.
