Assuming I couldn't put it on the kid's college either...I have no idea. The house/yard are done. It's not enough to buy a Z4. I surely don't need any more guns or power tools. I would like to expand my shop but the historic commission nazis would cause me to go postal.

I don't guess it matters anyway because my $$ is the wife's $$ and the wife's $$ is the wife's $$. That probably means travel.

Half would go into savings. The other half would be spent on things I could use. For starters, maybe I could replace my couch which is the same one I had in the apartment through college .......................

You could just get married. All of my bachelor furniture got the boot including my plaid couch. I loved that couch.

Sounds like a terrible idea. The 2 (matching!) end tables I bought was from a guy off of CL. When I showed up I asked why he was getting rid of them for so cheap, and his response was "moving in with my girlfriend and she doesn't like them....."

Poor bastard. They're probably split by now. I'm still victorious on that buy.

Hook.... aw wait you said I can't. Hmmmm this is hard because I'd probably pay my car off, but you said don't do that either...

Gosh I keep going back to hookers and blow. What else does one do with a sudden sum of money??

This past week I bought:

Glock 17 Gen 1
Glock 32
Glock 38
Glock 39
HK USP 45 Elite
HK USP 45 Expert
S&W Model 41
Springfield XD 9
Springfield Professional

So about $10K in guns this week. I'm sure I'll hit $20K+ by the end of the month.

I'd just tuck it in with the rest of my pocket money.

What's funny is last month I spent some $12,000 on trading cards. That did take my mind off guns that entire month as I fixated on getting every Star Wars card release that Topps made.
