If you were given £100 right now what would you spend it on?

If you were given £100 right now what would you spend it on? You have to spend it, can't save it - so what would you spend it on? :biggrin:

Clothes!
I have a thing for kinda expensive clothes from this one alternative fashion shop so I’d spend it all there straight away :tongue:

My parents have banned me from buying any more shirts from there though :redface:

incredibly difficult
maybe uni stuff but I don't even know if im going to uni yet
maybe on a trip to Thorpe park with friends as I'm worried about funding that trip with them! I can travel there comfortably, not worry about bringing food w me, etc

oh yeh and this restaurant/cafe I wanna go to!

Motors, pogo pins, wire, bearings, and a new soldering iron.
Very dull, but I need to restock my supplies of tat.

Haha aww how many items of clothes could you get there for £100? Not many by the sounds of it? :tongue:

Dipped into the overdraft, so I'd pay that off.

I will spend it on buying some index funds. That doesn't count as saving, right?

Depends on what you get! :smile:

Cheapest shirts are £20 each or two for £30. The most expensive are over £60 each (got a dress that was closer to £70 I think) so nope, not many :tongue:

£35 and I couldn't even get a full half a tank of petrol in my tiny i10 the other day. Usually that will *almost* fill up the entire thing...

Prices are stupid right now (think it petrol was 188.9 for me this weekend).

Haha me too I think! (Unless I can think of a physical item that I would want to buy, which I can't at the moment). I love going for meals out with friends and family. Or I'd put it towards another experience like tickets somewhere :biggrin:

As George Best said, booze, women and fast cars, and the rest Id just waste.
Though I guess that would be £100 quitd back in the sixties, rather than buying a couple of mars bars today.
