I'll just start by saying that I don't have $5000 and I won't have a spare $5000 to spend for a long long time.
But . . . I was wondering what you guys would do with $5000. For the sake of fun, don't just say 'pay off student loans, car, etc.' That's what I would also do realistically. I'm wondering, down to pennies, how you would spend all $5000 on things that you would normally not get because your money goes elsewhere. Stuff like video cards, monitors, comics, art, fancy paint jobs on your motorcycle, candy, travel. Be specific. No estimating.
I'll post later. I've got to go finish roofing my shed.
