The Satellite Sisters asked:
Ooh, there's so many things I would like to do!
Tithing first $10,000 leaving $90,000
Save aside money for taxes – they say Uncle Sam takes a quarter of our money, so $25,000, now there's $65,000. But I will get interest. : )
I would pay off my car, about $10,000 and maybe-probably buy a mini van, around $15,000. 40,000 left
Road trip - before Andrew leaves! Say $1000. Yosemite?
$10,000 for Andrew's mission
Save $10, 000 for Benjamin's mission or Joseph's if he decides to go first – somebody's mission. It's ok if they both go! We will manage!
If I felt I could squeeze something somewhere I would get a Mac Powerbook. Maybe a Pro.
That's the current version. Fun to think about. But, sigh, I just looked up and only saw my office ceiling. Back to work!
by the way - What would YOU do?
I'm not sure that $25,000 would cover the taxes on the windfall - I'd probably hold on to at least $10,000 more until all the calculations were made. So after saving for taxes and paying a tithe I have $55,000. It'd probably take $30,000 to pay for the rest of my schooling and pay off student loans. With $25,000 left I'd choose to spend it on computer equipment (up to $2000 on a large monitor, up to $2000 on a new laptop, about $1000 for other accessories), a European vacation ($?), and invest the rest (probably with the intention of using the investment for the down payment on a house after getting done with school).
