Title: What would you do with $100
Post by: premar16 on March 30, 2015, 12:52:57 am
I recently did a side job for a friend and she paid me $100 cash so what do think I should do with it? Keep in mind I normally only have $700 a month
Title: Re: What would you do with $100

if you have any bills to pay, I'd use it on that.

I would pay that bill. Or if they are already paid for the month, do something for yourself. It does not really matter what it is. These days you can't do much with $100. Buy something for yourself. Go out to eat. Take a day trip. The point is Enjoy the moment. Life is too short. BMaston12

I agree, if you have a bill, or bills, that need to be paid asap, pay the bill.  If not, I would think of it as "found" money, go out and spend it on something you enjoy.  You only go around once, I know $100 is not a lot of money, but I'm positive you can find something to enjoy it with!

pay off your bills or put it in savings for next months bills.

Pay half on bills and then get something you want, or have been waiting to get.

Definitely save that cash for a rainy day!
Title: Re: What would you do with $100
Post by: pstovall on March 30, 2015, 01:26:59 pm
I would save it, unless I owed money to somebody.  You need money socked away for emergencies.  Once you spend it, it's gone!

Post by: davidh121 on March 30, 2015, 08:46:53 pm
Depends on your urgent priorities.  i would say groceries, bills or save it. If you're covered or good on the three, maybe just treat yourself nice as you deserve the reward.

I racked up some credit card debt at the end of last year. I am selling off stuff to pay it off. So if it were ME, I would send the money to my dumb credit card company :(

I would like to be able to put the $100.00 aside for a possible vacation this year since my last official one was back in 2008 lol..but if not for that I would more or less put it towards retirement maybe or pay off a credit card.
I am grateful that it does not take more than a few months to get that on Fusion Cash

If i had an extra 100 for whatever reason I'd probably use a lil for my family a lil for myself and about half or bills

If there is no bills to pay, save that $100.00 dollars for a rainy day.
Title: Re: What would you do with $100
Post by: vg7405 on March 31, 2015, 01:27:50 am
Personally, I would put half of it towards a bill and the other half would go into my savings account.
Title: Re: What would you do with $100
Post by: myfreebees316 on March 31, 2015, 08:47:51 am
I'd pay off at least one bill and maybe go out to eat at least once or twice

I would say if you don't have a bill coming up you need to pay then you should save it.
Title: Re: What would you do with $100
Post by: oldbuddy on March 31, 2015, 11:41:18 am
If I didn't need it for bills, I would stick it in my PayPal account so when something comes up that could make me more money online, I would have it there to spend.
Title: Re: What would you do with $100

I would spend $25 on something for myself and save the rest.

Put it away for the month when you only have $600.

Well hundred bucks is not that much in our day and age. You should treat yourself and then save the rest for gas or other things that you NEED the money for the most. But every now and then people forget that they need to treat themselves first. That's what i'll do if I was you!

Normally I like to spend the extra cash to buy myself something I have really wanted .... but lately .. I would save I have had to use it on bills .... so with that said ... you need to prioritize .. if you have to pay bills .. that is what you should use it for
Title: Re: What would you do with $100
Post by: 6265AT99 on April 01, 2015, 10:46:46 am
In your particular case, probably add it to your normal amount but I think maybe squeezing a little out for a treat might be ok to do.
Title: Re: What would you do with $100
Post by: mrisha on April 02, 2015, 07:21:28 am
That is an easy one-I would pay a bill or bills depending on the totals.

I'd personally put it on a bill first.  If the bills are already paid, maybe treat yourself to a nice dinner out and save the rest for next month?

Pay at least one of the bills. If we didn't owe much in all types of bills that we have then I would use it on myself.
Title: Re: What would you do with $100
Post by: blondie71 on April 07, 2015, 12:26:36 am
I know if I earned a $100.00 today I would go get mus some groceries because we are just about out and I don't get my food stamps until the 12th of the month and we are out of meat I have veggies and Rice a Roni but meat so that would be nice.  I don't have an income but my husband gets SSI but that is really for just one person.  We didn't even get to go out for our anniversary last October, so hopefully we will this year.
Title: Re: What would you do with $100
Post by: froggylover227 on April 10, 2015, 04:10:41 pm
I personally would pay down some debt with it. I know $100 isn't a lot these days, but on a $500 credit card, it knocks out a good portion. I'm trying to get my priorities straight and that involves me making better financial decisions, so any extra money I can make will either be going to bills or to a savings account.

I would put it on bills.  I just cannot seem to get caught up on utilities so I would put it on them.  I work as a secret shopper, so I have not had to pay for groceries for about three years now, including meat.  I also only go out to dinner if I am doing a shop/job on a restaurant.

I would use most of it for bills, but maybe keep out a little for yourself and buy something you don't ordinary buy to treat yourself for a change.

Post by: Tresbn00 on April 23, 2015, 07:51:56 pm
I would invest the money and have the reserve not to ever touch it unless it was being transferred to another investment. That is precisely what I did about six years ago when I started earning money with Fusion cash. I have yet to spend a single cent on anything but investments and, last year, finally made it to the point where my returns (dividends, interest, stock appreciation) were considerably higher than all of my efforts on the internet.  This hasn't stopped me from continuing to pursue every penny that I can.  Fusion cash has taught me the value of every penny and now I have a nest egg that is producing cash with out my having to check on it each and every day.

Post by: tuyetmai on April 23, 2015, 08:34:41 pm
Seriously, there are not much for a hundred dollar bill lately.  But I definately save it if I were you.  Because there are a lot of things in life that would pop up to be an "emergency".

It depends if you had any upcoming bills. If I had 100 dollars and a bill to pay I would use it on that, but if not I would put it in the bank because you never know when you might need that 100 dollars for a unexpected expense.

8) That's probably the best answer I would be able to think of , since it's always good to pay off a bill or two , but it's also nice to save money..even though that's really hard to do these days. 

Thank God for Fusion Cash who makes this possible!
