One hundred dollars that is. What would you do with 100 fresh, crisp, green dollar bills, or one Benjamin?
There would be no restrictions, no requirements, nada. Just “hey, here’s $100, do whatever you want.”
What would I do with $100?
First, I’d have to tell you what I should do. Since we are on the Dave Ramsey plan and any and all extra money should go to our car payment, I should put it towards that.
However, what would I really do?
I think I would spend every.single.penny.on.myself! Seriously, I would. And, I would probably buy clothes with it. My favorite jeans have booty pockets with buttons on them. Well, I should say had because, really, those buttons are long gone. And, my other jeans have a spot that is this.close to becoming a hole.
So, yeah, I’d probably buy some jeans. And, some chocolate…maybe some chocolate, too…or cheetos? Better get back to my shred…
So, what would you do with $100?
Kodak and JuiceBoxJungle sponsored me to write this fun post, about what I’d do with a surprise extra $100 if someone handed it to me next month.

Massage, baby!! 🙂
rachel says
i'm sure i'd have good intentions of using it towards something i need to pay off… although i would probably put it towards a pair of cowboy boots i've been eyeing for a while ( :

An afternoon to myself. I'd start off with a trashy magazine and a sauna….then I'd get a 30 minute massage….then I'd take a relaxing shower…Pick up a book at the local book store and take it to Starbucks for a big cookie and a mocha. $100 in one afternoon of AWESOME.
Lindsey says
A facial, Mexican restaurant, and buy lots of candy 🙂
Kelli @ Gohn Crazy says
I'd be getting my tattoo sooner than my birthday. 🙂
Mere says
I most definately like your idea! I could definately use some new jeans as mine are now all too big!
Love, Mere

I would buy a rockin' birthday cake for Baby P's big first birthday because I'm totally impractical like that. 🙂
Shawna says
I would put it in my IRA account, that is what I would do.
Now if I could do what I wanted with it, definitely an hour long deep tissue massage at the day spa, which includes a complimentary foot soak and as much time as I wanted in the Quiet Room… and a sandwich at the bakery next door 🙂
Skooks says
I'd put it in my let's get a house someday fund.
But the whole way to the bank I would be reasoning with myself that I really should put the money towards the Jo-Ann Fabrics. They need me to give them $100 and I need them to give me LOTS of sewing stuffs.
Sammy Nams says
Am I allowed to enter a giveaway from another company?? =D I would totally use $100 at Target. Not sure what I'd buy, but I know it would entertain me for like an entire day.
Summary Answer: Target Shopping Spree
Heather says
We are also doing the Dave Ramsey plan, so I know that I SHOULD put it towards paying off my stupid student loan….
However, we ARE on the Dave Ramsey plan, so I haven't had extra money to do ANYTHING fun with lately…so I woudl probably use it to treat myself to a mini-shopping trip to get a few new things for the spring!
mommablogsalot says
Hmmm grown up Jen would put it toward the car payment or savings for a house… slightly less grown up Jen would put it towards the office chair I've been wanting. Childish Jen? Would buy books and maybe a new pair of jeans or shoes.
ModernMom says
Oh I would talk tit to Wal Mart and buy all the little travel things I need for our up coming trip to Florida!
Annie says
This was a fun post for sure! We are on Dave Ramsey too and I know the extra $100 SHOULD go to debt reduction, but I wouldn't enjoy that nearly as much as a spa day!
♥Yaya's Mommy ♥ says
What I should do put it towards my credit card what I would LOVE to do buy myself a cute outfits since I always spend my money on the kiddos. 🙂
Kat says
Ooooo! How fun! I think I would treat my hubby to a romantic dinner for Valentine's Day. I always feel silly getting him presents and stuff because he is the only one that earns money in this family. So when I buy him presents it is kind of like, "Hey, honey! Look what I bought you with your money!" I know it is "our" money and he always reminds me of that, but I still feel like it is his money sometimes. It would be nice to treat him with money he didn't have to work for. 😉
Lisa says
I'd get a room painted professionally…leave one morning & come home to a new room 🙂
Emily says
I'd probably shop for clothes too…and eat chocolate while I do it! 🙂
Tesa says
I think I would take an overnight trip somewhere. A much needed vacation is in order over here and that just might hit the spot.
Thanks for stopping by my blog awhile back. I like yours and am now following your feed.
Loukia says
Hmmm…. I'd keep it in my drawer at work to pay for my twice a day Starbucks addiction! 😉
Loukia says
Oh, wait – just read what Elaine said – massage, yes! Ahh… I am SO in need!
Emily says
I would use it towards a ticket to the ATL!
amanda says
no emily – that's what i was going to say!! i would totally buy a ticket to you!! crash on your couch and then go to all those yummy hotlanta places i keep emailing you about!
Kristin says
I'd put it toward the Longchamp travel bag I've been eying!
FoundProdigalDaughter says
I'd probably use it to treat my parents to dinner out somewhere as a thank you to them for helping me so much this year, I'd use a little bit to purchase some workout pants, and if there was any leftover I'd help one of my friends who's also struggling financially right now. I really have so many ways I could use $100 and want to help so many others that I know I couldn't do it all but it would at least be a start.
