I would...
...buy lunch first (I'm really hungry). $10
...Pay off two collection accounts. $400
...Pay minimums on the CCs ($300)
...Put the rest toward the first cc payoff ($290)

I will divide it 3 ways: save it, invest it and have fun

I would deposit it in the bank today, and then schedule a payment for tomorrow to pay off the last of our debt. We had about $2150 left and I already scheduled a $500 payment for tomorrow. The rest would come from today's paycheck!

I got $1000 bonus this week and all my deductions, I was left with 656. I sent all that money to my CITI card.

It would go the same place all the other "extra" money is going...towards a downpayment on a house

Cheryl said...

I would use the entire amount to pay down a debt!

I would so put that into my mortgage repayment program. One more thousand down!

Send it to my ING account, where I am attempting to build enough cash to pay for my annual bills - so I don't need to use my LOC this year. Yes, I am a dreamer. Each year I get closer to this though.

I'd pay down my outstanding auto repair bill ($1043), and then finish it off from tomorrow's pay check.

I would give the whole thing to my brother. His landlord just died (buried yesterday). My brother has an old broken down trailer that can't be moved and he's been renting a small lot for his old trailer and now doesn't know what he's going to do.

Well, since I'm starting over on Dave Ramsey's steps, I'd put the whole thing in my Emergency Fund and move on to the next step.

Five words...Bank of America credit card!


Many banks and credit debt companies which have piled up their stocks are expanding their personal and commercial services. On individual level, student loan services are being offered at nominal interest rates. While commercially, banks have really queued up to sell out the merchant accounts combined with a merchant card. Merchant account lets you accept the online payment through credit cards. Such services can now easily be availed through online bank.
