That would cover one of my house payments + part of the other. Or it would pay all of my other non-mortgage bills with a little extra.
Or it would buy me an outbuilding so that I can set up my craft/soapmaking shop and not take up so much space in the kitchen.
What does $1000 mean to you?

1/30 tuition for the year...
Take this chance to reflect on how fortunate you are that you don't go to a trucker school in Ohio.

Cost of attendance is easily 50k :'(
About half of which is covered by scholarships, but it's still horrifying.

Strange, my beloved whom wakes up earlier than I was doing the Saturday trip to the fruit market, Coffee Tree. The coffee was late opening, she found the girl crying while trying to open the store. She's working three jobs, husband is unemployed, her car needs an oil change,and she just found out she was sacred with child. My beloved one took and got her car an oil change.
For her, a 1000 would go a long ways.

Ok, I admit that I am an undead Ta-ka, fated to live through the centuries until my original sin is resolved. However, if that's a comment about my turn of the phrase to indicate that the girl is preggers, that has more to do with my religion. I don't know if she should bring a child into this world with her situation, she seems like a nice enough young 20 married to a shiftless artist type, I don't know if she can do it, but it is my obligation and joy to offer what small measure of support I can do.Which century are you from?
Outside of buying her husbands crappy"art"

*Sigh* Paycheck means net, salary means gross. Still 60K isn't much to sneeze at, none of my droogies make that much.
*grin* yes I know the irony in that.
Oh, that is just so dang neat. I know a nice couple that does that, all natural frags and the like,nice people but thier child does not watch TV, their child does not eat refined sugar, nice but hard to be around. I trade them some coneflower for soap,That would cover one of my house payments + part of the other. Or it would pay all of my other non-mortgage bills with a little extra.
Or it would buy me an outbuilding so that I can set up my craft/soapmaking shop and not take up so much space in the kitchen.

A nice house, in a nice village near where I work.
Some comforts, and the rest into savings and investments.
Even a million isn't enough to give up work, unless you have a very good portfolio manager.

With the rising cost of living, I don't think even two million is enough to stop working.

College and grad school.
Also, why do people keep posting non-spammy topics in chit-chat?

$1000 to me, would be a weeks pay (and most of which would go to bills and mortgage payments). $1,000,000 however, would set me up for life. I would be able to purchase another two houses outright and live off the rent made from them both with change left over. Yes, I would still work (as like Sweeney said, a million won't go terribly far, but would set you up so that you could live quite comfortably).
