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

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.

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 :)

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.
