How should I spend the $500?

Asked by jca (36062points) February 27th, 2016

My parents gave me $500 for Christmas. I haven’t spent it yet.

I’ve been debating. Here are some thoughts:

If I want something, I can pretty much buy it for myself, within reason. I’m not walking into Tiffany every week or buying real Michael Kors bags, because I’m more practical than that, but basically, if I feel like getting something, I can buy it.

I like things that don’t cost a lot of money. In other words, I really get a kick out of getting a nice piece of jewelry on sale or off a clearance rack, or finding something decent on Amazon for a great price.

I have a ton of clothes, bags, shoes, and don’t need anything in that category.

My bills are paid but I can always put the money toward bills (as bills are always flowing in: child care, car payment, whatever).

I can put the money toward a trip. That’s another idea.

I can take part and put it toward something gift-y for myself and put part toward something more practical, like bills or a trip.

Please give me some thoughts.
