Well, after tax and so on, neither does he.


Well I take home about £2500 after tax, pension and NI. That's with a couple of days overtime though. A usual monthly take home is just over £2k.

Monster High is daughter latest toy, they are barbie like dolls, that are monsters. Vampire girl, werewolves, Frankie Stein, water monsters, and Japanese cat demons, plus a few hot mummies and a smart ghoul or too.

However, the otherthing is pretty much like it sounds like. I had to replace mine as few years ago as it was thrown at me during a minor disagreement.

$1.000 would just mean less money my parents have to loan me for my undergraduate education. $1.000.000 would mean finishing undergraduate studies for my significant other and me without any worries and starting adult life without the housing, vehicle, and other bill troubles. That amount of money will set you up for an easier life, but it won't allow you to retire or anything.

Edit: Doh, didn't notice we'd switched to $1M.

It'd mean a new house. :)

$1000 to me means not watching my husband stress out over bills for at least a little while.
Poor man has the weight of the world on his shoulders supporting his family.
Every cent he makes fighting for our country goes to feeding and clothing our two babies and myself.
He has sat and cried (Don't tell him I told ya!!) because he was worried the kids wouldn't have enough food that week.. like it's soooo hard and sad to see him like that..

$1000 would only be a temporary fix, but the guy could use a break :p

1000$ to me means a new phone, the rest I would spend on books for school.

Joe,

You are forgetting that American universities are "For-Profit" and don't keep the textbooks that they require in stock at the libraries. They (mostly) also make you bring your text with you to lecture every day to ensure that you had to buy it. It's ridiculous...

@Random Thanks!

I don't consider buying some textbooks stupid. In some of my courses, the professors enjoyed asking assignment questions that you had to refer to the textbook for. In a class where you don't really know anyone else, and where the textbook can't be found in the library, there's little choice other than to buy the textbook.

I've probably saved thousands of dollars by either borrowing textbooks, buying used, or finding them online. Sometimes though, there's little choice in the matter.

Being in my "glory days" of high school, I suppose I would stash some of it away for college. However, I would finally be able to purchase so many 18 inch custom plushies, such as Iceland, Spike Spiegel, Heracles Karpusi, Ivan Braginsky, Vash Zwingli, and a Radical Edward doll, but each commission is 45$...... :( eh.....

As a junior in high school, it would mean clothes, video games makeup, or driving lessons. Crapton of money for me.

~Half the mini-van I need.

Edit: since everyone else is talking about it, it's exactly 4 months rent and utilities for me. I live in a refurnished basement and share a room with my daughter though.

The cost it's gonna cost us to get your car fixed since you just decided that swerving to save a squirrels life was worth running into a ditch with our girls in the car.

That's really nothing where I live.

It'd go straight into savings. There's not much else I could do with it right now.
