What Would You Do With £15,000 If You Weren't In Debt?

Well done on £15k SS :beer:

With £15k I would probably have a nice family holiday and then put it towards a house deposit

DontDoDebtKids

Anything I want?

I'd buy some shares.

Well I would have a loft conversion for our eldest son. He left home but soon came back when he realised his wage didn't go that far. He shared a room with his brother at the time. Consequently his sister pinched her brothers room and his other brother moved into smaller room, now he's on the couch, poor thing. I'd also have a conservatory added on and give some to charity, I have a few favourites.
We can dream eh???

Well done SS! What a landmark! £15K.....have to be a holiday I think! (I am a bad non-green person at heart, with a would-be large carbon footprint or whatever!)

Softstuff

I'm assuming that since I count my mortgage as debt, that is paid off too.

In which case:



Yummy.

Ooh, £15,000!!! I'd go to the bank and draw it all out in £10s, throw it on the bed and roll around in it!! :rotfl:

I'd then pile it up into a big stack and take a photo of it before spending the next half an hour scooping it all up again before skipping off to the bank and putting in a big old high interest account. Then I'd start househunting (although with £15k I'd probably have to look for a house back up north - can't afford now't down south)

Thanks for this thread SS - you've given me something to have sweet dreams about

MoaningMyrtle

I'd take me Mam on holiday to Bournemouth.

Buy a few shares (in a chocolate company)

Buy Mr MM a classic Mini Cooper so he could go on the 'Italian Job' charity run. Hell, I'd even go with him if he asked me nicely.

I'd then Buy a couple of lipsticks is there was any change.

Well done SS £15k is a lot of dosh, I don't have any debts but I sometimes find it really hard to spend I prefer to put it in my early retirement fund.

I like gadgets so if I had to spend it I am sure I could waste it on stuff I don't need but I really would prefer to put most of it in the "55 fund" (my plan is to retire at 55)

I might invest in some diamond encrusted car mats as seen on MSE:rolleyes:

Dithering_Dad

Hi nearlyrich, I plan on retiring but suspect it won't be 55! How are you going to manage it? I'd love to know so that I can copy

Sorry for the little hijack, but I love the thought of retiring young - I hate working - so nearlyrich's post caught my eye! (and my imagination)

15k Hmm There the sensible option of paying of a chunk or mortgage. But I am also tired of not having things because we don't NEED them

So after a nice holiday for the family, I would take 1k of the money and get some new clothes. I don't need a newer car, but I am tired of driving a grey one! So a big audi diesal maybe? Estate for all the gubbins of course!

any left over then I'd pay a bit of the mortgage
