I'd buy a fancy Precor Elliptical! OMG I dream about owning one of those one day!!!!!!!!! (Of course, I'd have to pony up an additional $1500 I think, but hey, I'd take it!)
I'd hang onto it because, If Congress passes the BB, I'm not sure If I'm going to get to keep my tax refund. If not, I'm going to need every dime I can dig out of the grass just to pay for groceries, gas, and heat. This may sound like a downer but I'd actually feel tremendous relief if someone handed me $1,000 of UNREPORTABLE cash.
I'd spend a bit on one of those weight racks where you just dial up the # you want. The rest I'd put towards any of the 123,896,001 house projects we want to do!
DH and I have been together for almost 13 years and have never taken a "vacation" together just the two of us. I really don't care where we would go just as long as it's somewhere warm. Any ideas guys? I could only spend the $1,000 nothing more.
