Poll question: What should I spend my extra $200.00 a month on?

Due to a most excellent upgrade of my living situation I find myself saving an extra $200.00 a month on rent.

Where shall this money be spent?

1. Grow up and put it towards your retirement.

When you get that age you will have to pay hookers more than you do now.:P

2. pot?

Off the books, you know...

10. Tomorrow is my last day

I have to give it up because I'm going to be graduating and looking for jobs :(

13. Have a damn good one tomorrow then.

And good luck in your job search.

You know, my dad just retired from working for the school district for 25 years. He couldn't smoke during that whole period. Now that he's retired he does every day! It's quite the experience to have your dad come to you and ask if you can score for him.

3. Send it to me. I'll, um... invest it for you. Yeah that's it , I'll invest it for you.

4. save up for a down payment on a home

Seriously, you dont want to be reaching retirement and still be paying rent to someone else.

5. Save it!

$200 a month with compound interest can add up!

6. Save it!! YOu never know when you will really need it!

7. Whores and blow.

I would have voted for "hookers and booze" but there is just something so cold and impersonal about business transactions with prostitutes. It's much better to just find a loose woman that can be easily romanced with a trip to Red Lobster. That way the booty feels like more of an accomplishment. :patriot:

8. I've never been so disappointed in poll results in my entire life.

Well, okay, maybe 2000 and 2002 and 2004...

11. Will someone please explain to me

what "an extra $200.00 a month" is?

I'm not familiar with that expression.



P.S. Congrats on your new-found wealth :)

14. Looking into it.

Thanks for the tip. I'm generally not an investor, but now might be a good time to start.

15. Well, if you're generally not an investor,

open a Roth IRA at T Rowe Price and automatically chuck $200 in every month to a target retirement 2030 or 2040 fund, depending on your age.

Best wishes.
