What will You do if You get upto 1000$ ?

by fas on June 13, 2009 · 14 comments

Lately I have been investing too much money. I invested on food, clothes, web hosting and books (I will be giving a book review soon).I was thinking I invest so much money hard earned by my parents and yet there is always something which I wish to buy. I imagine if I can win some money in lottery or someone give me some (read it as gift me), than it will be nice. But there is one question which always seemed to come to mind is ‘what to do if I get money’?

And that question is followed by series of questions. If I should invest everything? Should I save some for later? What should I buy? Should I invest it for future? and many more things come to my mind. So I thought I should ask a simple question to my blog reader and study there response. It will be very interesting to see. Thus I ask you a very simple question “What will You do if You get up to 1000$ ?”.

Don’t answer it yet. You also must have noticed that I mentioned up to 1000$. The question is simple but the answer I seek is to be given in 5 steps. To be precise I need 5 answers. I also want to know if someone  (not your family) is going to give you certain amount of money, will you accept it. So you have to answer the following questions.

  1. What amount of Money you will accept as gift.
  2. How will you invest if you get 10$?
  3. How will you invest if you get 100$?
  4. How will you invest if you get 500$?
  5. How will you invest if you get 1000$?

The preferred format to answer is as below (Its just a sample)

  1. Gift: 100$ from a stranger, 200$ from a friend etc
  2. 10$: Buy a MMO ebook – Name of the ebook
  3. 100$: Save 30$ for future. Invest 50$ in hosting. Get a WP Design for 20$.
  4. 500$: Give 100$ to my parents. Invest 50$ to buy gift for girlfriend. Save 200$. Do some shopping (If you feel then mention items like clothes,shoes, books, movie DVDs, Music etc).
  5. 1000$: Buy a new mobile phone (you can mention the model or brand and price as well). Do some shopping (If you feel then mention items like clothes,shoes, books, movie DVDs, Music etc). Save the rest.

I feel you understand what answers I need. You can take time and think but please answer using above format. Tell you friends as well. I want as many answers as possible. Please kindly tweet this post and help me get as many answers as possible.

NOTE: This is no contest. Its just a simple quiz for you. If you want you can give links as well. I will not mind them until they are good links and not affiliate links.

Reinvest is the only thing which I’ll do. Reinvesting the amount will make me more money. When I get a huge profit i’ll then cash out very little money. So reinvesting it would be the best idea :)

You want to invest everything. No savings at all.

7 Agent 001 June 13, 2009 at 8:57 pm

Reinvesting is the best Idea. So far I have always reinvested – though it was hard to decide how to reinvest. Sometime I just wasted money.

Really no limit. Interesting. Looks like bloggers love to invest money to make their blog better. So far everyone here are planning of investing money for their blog.

1. Gift: Anything from a stranger, I don’t know if I would take a gift from a friend… it depends on the situation
2. 10$: Probably just stick it in my bank account and save it
3. 100$: Probably just stick it in my bank account and save it
4. 500$: Save most of it, maybe buy some exercise equipment (I’m building a mini-gym in my basement)
5. 1000$: Hopefully save up for a Macbook or another good laptop… not sure if I want OS X yet, I might just buy something from Dell with Ubuntu

I’m gonna be boring here – but anything up to a $1000 will just go into my bank account and sit there until I need it, doesn’t have to be for anything special, just the “I need a new gadget!”-purchase :)
