$1000. Ten Things. Heck Yeah.

A thousand dollars.

That’s our assignment from Stasha on this week’s addition of Monday Listicles.

*  *   *

 

There’s usually some writing project or article that I’m working on (for which I’m grateful).

It takes a few assignments to hit a grand. Have I hit a grand?

Surely I have but once checks are deposited, out the money goes.

So to have a $1000 allowance just sitting there?

Let’s see.

10.  A Pedicure.    $35

Today staring down at my toenails in church, I decided I needed a professional one. I polish them but it’s just not the same. I can’t stay inside the lines with crayons or nail polish.

9.    Redesigning my blog/website.  $500

I need to spend time thinking, reworking. I could spend the entire $1000 and more. But that would make for a short listicle.  So I cap my spending at half the amount.

8.    Tithe.  $100

I try to give 10 percent of every paycheck to the church.

Just thinking — my dad sends me a little extra money in the mail. Do I tithe that? Does it even cross my mind? Hmm.

 

7.

 

6., 5., 4., 3., 2.   I really want to take our nuclear family away on a mini-trip before our eldest leaves for college. Honestly, I’d put all $1000 toward that.

 

1. On second thought, maybe I’d put the $1000 in his college account. He has a college account, right?

 

How would you spend a $1000?
