$1000 - where does it go?
According to an iSyndicate Article I just read....
The 1,000 consumers polled were asked to allocate the windfall among several categories of expenditures. On average, this is how the participants saw themselves disposing of the cash:
36%—home improvements including renovations, furniture or major appliances.
24%—vacation or leisure travel.
15%—clothing or other personal items.
15%—home entertainment equipment, or electronic products such as stereos, televisions, computers, cell phones, or upgrading the equipment they already own.
10%—local entertainment such as going to restaurants, movies, sporting events or concerts.
What would you do with $1000 if you had it right now??
Looking at my expenses last weekend, I already spent a bunch of it.
45% went to a major appliance
30% went to long term food purchase (vegemeat, enough to last at least 6 months)
The rest, I’m sure I already have spent on Christmas presents, and travel to CA for Christmas, but if I could just spend it? I’d go shopping. I need enough stuff for my wardrobe that $250 would be perfect for a trip to Victoria’s Secret to get some new bras, a visit to Lerners and Old Navy for winter clothes - maybe a sweater, some overalls, some new shirts. Maybe some new socks and a pair of payless shoes?
Kinda fun to think about
