So when I went to close out my checking account I realized I had $500 more in my account then I thought and I want to blow it on stuff I don't need. What should I get? purse? Shoes? Clothes? what would you buy for $500?? There is nothing I need/desperately want right now so I'm open to anything!!!

i would save it until something sticks out. What do you need the most? For me, i would buy a nice bag or a nice jacket, and maybe a nice sweater or jeans. I am going to hold off on nice shoes for a while (HAAAAAA, we'll see how that lasts)
Wait till you find something that makes you fall in love with it. dont spend it here and there, cause when you bump into something you really want it might cost a lot and you'll regret spending some of that $500. let us know what you spend it on when you do.......
What I would give to just blow $500....ahhh...I'm just imagining all the things I would buy....to much to mention
I'd probably end up just saving it though. Percentage rates are high right now, so I'd put it in a CD, gain some interest and after all of the accrual was done, I'd spend the initial $500, and put the interest in another CD....maybe
day at the spa (i think i will do one of these in about two weeks when i am healed)
art (the bf and i have a problem right now!)
make-up restocking (if you need it)
manolo, jimmy choo?
cashmere
i like this ring
i love this blazer, but so impractical for me
i still want shoes like these
these shoes are interesting too, not sure though
i like this isabella fiore purse (but don't need another purse)
that being said, if there isn't anything that pops out at you, i would wait, cuz there's always something that pops out eventually. have fun with it!

Ditto, I would put it back until SOMETHING REALLY caught my eye, then I'd go for it. BUT! If I had the $500.00, LOL, I'd go ahead and get a NICE dig. cam., and probably put the rest away in my sav. acct.

Don't blow $500 on stuff you don't need! When it's gone, and you find something extra fabulous to buy, you may wish you had been more wise! I'd save it for now, easy to say, but harder to do!
