Men if you had $5500 to spend how would you spend it?

[jmowreader]

I know this is a copycat, but I'd really like to know. Guys, if you had five bills burning a hole in your pocket, would you spend it on ONE hooker?

Assuming I frequented prostitutes in the first place (I never did--no interest in that) if I was going to spend $5500 on hookers it would be like nine or ten of them. You can buy a used car for that much money, which I'd probably do.

[NNN0LHI]

1. A full tank of gas

[zbdent]

23. damn ... I was wayyy to slow ...

[xultar]

4. happily married here. and just got laid off - so would pay down the mortgage!

[hobbit709]

5. That would pay off 1/3 of our remaining mortgage.

Or get a decent used car.

[Warren Stupidity]

6. It would go to college tuition like all the rest of my money.

[Ganja Ninja]

7. I'd buy a sidecar for my motorcycle. n/t

[ThomWV]

8. I'd pay off my motorcycle (FXSTD/I)

[guitar man]

49. I think I 'd trade up

from my sportster to one of the big Harleys :evilgrin:

[Birthmark]

9. I'd give it to my wife.

It's pretty seldom that I touch money. So, I wouldn't spend it at all.

[Ian David]

13. That's a great idea! I'd spend it on your wife, too!

Running for cover....

[Birthmark]

26. LOL!

She'd be darned well worth it, too! But I have an exclusive long-term contract. The lawsuits would be terrible!!

[LoZoccolo]

10. Two chicks at the same time.

Then I'd pay off debt.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

33. LOL

Would you give them a ride on the bone rollercoaster? :rofl:

[underpants]

39. Lawrence LOL

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Peter Gibbons: What would you do if you had a million dollars?
Lawrence: I'll tell you what I'd do, man: two chicks at the same time, man.
Peter Gibbons: That's it? If you had a million dollars, you'd do two chicks at the same time?
Lawrence: Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I were a millionaire I could hook that up, too; 'cause chicks dig dudes with money.
Peter Gibbons: Well, not all chicks.
Lawrence: Well, the type of chicks that'd double up on a dude like me do.
Peter Gibbons: Good point.

[Ian David]

11. I'd spend $2,000 on two less-expensive hookers at the same time.

Spend another $2,000 to pay bills and debt, and donate the rest to MoveOn.org.

[natrat]

12. a really nice mt bike

[tjwash]

14. I'd stick it in a CD and use it to relocate to Canada if McCain gets elected in November.

15. The Concept Of Money

For the vast majority of us $5gs is not just a lot of money, but probably more money than we've seen in one place at one time. We're lucky to have $15 in our pockets and I'm finding it interesting reading what others would do with the money.

The other side of the "coin" here is how cavaliere one must be to whip out (literally) that kind of money, plus the hotel and the transportation and the room service, and not even blink an eye. How one can think that "there's more where that came from" or can turn around and make 10 times that amount and this is his "reward" for bringing home the bacon. It just opens the door a bit into the self-indulgent society we have and the lengths some with the resources will go to find a thrill.

Instead of a hypothetical, I'll give you a practical. If and when I get my booooshie tax cut bribe, I plan to donate it to Democratic Congressional candidates to build a bigger and stronger majority.

[SpiralHawk]

16. Buy food, pay debts, donate to hungry and homeless

then spend $50 for a tank of gas to drive up the hot springs to take first a long hike deep in the canyons where I would offer tobacco, and then soak in the sacred mineral waters bubbling up from the heart of Mother Earth, where I would offer cornmeal that I might be renewed in her forgiving, embracing warmth.

[TheCowsCameHome]

17. Save part of it for a divorce lawyer, in case I got caught.

[mondo joe]

18. I'd take a nice weekend trip with my partner. But I think the real question might be what

would you do with $5,500 if you have Xmillion in assets, which is the more likely scenario for users of that particular service.

[joeybee12]

19. Do have to spend it? Can I put it in the bank and earn a paltry

2% interest?

[jmowreader]

50. You can bury it in the back yard if you'd like

And then, five weeks before the election, you can use it to buy most of a tank of gas.

(For the two weeks before the election, the price will drop to $1/gallon, and the talking heads will marvel about how Republican "leadership" caused the price of gas to plummet $93 in one day--neatly avoiding the obvious question of how the price of gas managed to climb $92/gallon under eight years of said "leadership.")

[bryant69]

20. I would buy a new bed.

My bed sucks.

21. Five $1000 hookers?

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

34. No way! 550 $10 hookers!

[GaYellowDawg]

22. Pay off one student loan, cancel another.

I don't know where people get that kind of money.

[madrchsod]

24. i`d buy a rebuilt honda crx

and take a long road trip with the rest of the money....

[RB TexLa]

25. Lock in a CD before the feds cut rates again

[newportdadde]

27. At a whopping 3.5%? :)

[RB TexLa]

31. There's higher, especially if you go with one indexed to currencies

and buy them in the secondary market and catch one at a discount.


edited to add: Even at 3.5% it's more than I would make on it if I gave it to someone else for something.

[NewJeffCT]

28. make an extra mortgage payment, and with what is left

maybe buy some gaming miniatures off of eBay.

[newportdadde]

29. A few things.

First I would buy myself the best 32inch LCD for my 'guy area' in the basement that I could find for my only real hobby which is gaming. I've been waiting for years to get a decent TV.

Second I would buy my wife the over the stove top microwave she has been wanting.

Third would take the remainder and put it towards the kids college.

[Slagathor]

30. Oxy

prostitutes are for losers.

[Orsino]

32. Our democratically-elected leaders sure do acquire some expensive tastes, don't they?

It's almost as though they tend to come from a different class of people, who might have trouble representing our interests.

Hey, I was a Spitzer fan, but what the hell could a guy addicted to $5,000 hookers ever be expected to do for me and my family?

[undeterred]

48. Power leads to unflappable arrogance.

He didn't think he could get caught. Something happens to people when they get into high office, and it isn't good. $5500 could do a hell of a lot for charity, for a homeless shelter...and here's an elected official married to a beautiful woman spending it on a hooker. He deserves to be humiliated.

[ileus]

35. Jeep parts...winch, tires, axles ect...

5500 I could come close to doing a 350 swap.

[CRF450]

36. Buy a turbo kit for my car.

350hp aint enough for me now:P Plus it would actually be more effecient.

Either that, or I could sell my current dirtbike, and buy a brand new YZ450F.

[Bluenorthwest]

37. Dental work

5K would do most of it.

[stlsaxman]

buy an eBike, fix up the house for Solar and make an extra mortgage payment...

put the rest aside as a cushion.

[Fox Mulder]

38. Like you said, I'd buy a used car.

A nice used car.

[underpants]

40. Do you have ANY IDEA how many lottery tickets that could buy?

Like a LOT!

[iamthebandfanman]

41. id disperse it

amongst my family ....
everyone i know is in financial trouble.

[dembotoz]

42. paying bills would make me happier than one time with a hooker

but then again-would be fun to find out it i am correct.

[LanternWaste]

43. I'd stock up the refrigerator and pantry. Catch up on all my bills...

I'd stock up the refrigerator and pantry. Catch up on all my bills. By some furniture accents for my bedroom (it looks spartan, despite a full bedroom set and a floor covered in clothes). A few DVD's-- I still want Schindler's List for my modest move collection. Probably take my mom out to a really nice dinner and a movie.

Oh!! I'd buy a bottle of absinthe! Never tried it-- it's legal now, though a bit expensive ($65.00 for a bottle). That might be fun...?

The rest would stay in my checking account.

Yeah, yeah-- I'm boring. But to me, $5500 is a frikkin' windfall, and I wouldn't want to blow it (no pun intended) on things I'd kick myself for later.

[Javaman]

44. Invest it in Euros. nt

[flvegan]

45. Pay some bills in advance.

I wouldn't mind knocking $5k off my mortgage.

[Indenturedebtor]

46. Either pay down debt

Or buy everything I need to put in a new kitchen ;) Should be plenty for unfinished cabinets, fridge, the whole shebang.

[jmg257]

47. On guns mostly.
