$50 mad money: ideas?

**Bill Bryant** · 03-05-10, 15:44

Since I hurt my finger two months ago ($1200) and equiped a basic basement gym for my USMC recruit son ($400) I've had not one discretionary dime to spend on myself for anything since before Christmas. Today I came by $50 not already spoken for.

How should I spend it, for pure fun and as a distraction from the cares of life?

50? I would spend it on a really good meal and not think twice about it.
If not, buy some ammo and go let off some steam.

Hope your finger is healing!

Hookers and beer

J/K I say buy a knife or dinner and a bottle of wine.

ETA: Truth be told I'd hide it until you found at least another $50 unclaimed unless its just burning a hole in your pocket. I know you could go on forever with the whole "...well with just another $50 or $100 you could get this..." argument but in this day I find that $100 opens up exponentially more options than $50

My vote is that you send it to me, but that could just be me.
Second idea would be a good Porterhouse dinner for one; second person's gonna cost more than that.
