We could all use extra cash right? I could use it now more than ever! After finishing up some Christmas shopping, I'd love to take $100 and spend it on myself. What would YOU spend it on?

Continuing Education

The practical, mature (aka boring) part of me believes I should put the $100 toward some continuing education classes so that massage therapy certificate doesn’t go to waste.

Travel

The explorer in me would like to put $100 toward a vacation. I’m thinking Bora Bora.

Wow, everyone here is so nice— charity! I guess I’m not that nice— I’d totally spend it on myself. I’d use it for clothes, food, movies, concert tickets…oooh, or maybe a series of yoga classes.

Maintenance.

I would get a hair cut and an oil change.  (The two activities I’m much better at putting off than actually doing!)

mani / pedi = $60
eyebrow wax = $25
Rosebud salve = $7
A Cucumber Cosmo = $10
= $102 (OK, so I’ll throw in the two bucks)

Charity

The generous part of me believes I should donate the $100 to a charity of my choice, or split it between a couple. I’d especially like to be able to help out my friends with charities they represent.

Ikea Sale

The completely selfish part of me would spend $100 (and then some!) on all sorts of goodies at Ikea.

Booze

It’s sad to admit, but I’ve spent just about every dollar I have on Christmas presents for other people. You know what that means? No booze for me. So if someone were to give me 100 dollars I’d probably spend it on a night out. It would totally be worth it.

I’d give it to our local rescue mission. They’ve seen such an increase in people since the recession began. I know they’re feeding more than they can handle this season.

Mas Farmhouse

39 Downing St, New York, NY 10014

I’d go have a nice LONG dinner here….it’s not a menu for the thrify people, but it is a menu for the FOODIES and if I had the money- this is where’d I’d be. Instead of ya know, Subway.

I would put it in the bank so that I don’t spend it until I can think of what I want to spend it on….but then I would forget that I put that extra hundred away…and I would never get to spend it on that something “special”. Yes…I’ve done this in the past. Guess it’s time for me to go withdraw a few hundred and treat myself good!

I’ll admit it, an extra $100? Diana is getting some cool clothes and the rest goes to me for clothes that hopefully make me as cool as her….
