Some work friends and I went to a local casino to blow off some steam. I put $40 into a Willy Wonka themed slot machine and I won something called the ‘Golden Ticket’ after a Bonus. My bills are paid for the next few months, and my job is secure. In other words, I’m more than fine financially. My problem (lol) is what to do with the 5k (no tax on winnings in Canada)? I like my car (2016 Buick Verano) and it’s up to date in maintenance and repairs. I could bank the money, but that’s not fun - this is found money and deserves to be spent frivolously. Naturally I’m thinking of my gaming hobby - but what to buy? I feel fine with my X1X and mid grade PC and don’t feel the need for another branded console as nothing really stands out as to what to buy. Maybe just plop down the cash for a vacation? But to where? Europe seems kinda scary with all their recent terrorist activity and traveling at home seems boring. What’s funny is a friend told me to go to Vegas and risk winning a bigger jackpot - but I’d still be in my dilemma if I won or feel stupid if I lost my winnings.
Ugh, what to do...
What would you do if you came across extra money you don’t really need?
