Boss Gave me $500.00 at Work Today!!

No BS. I got a FedEx envelope today from my previous boss within the same company after having completed a 9 week out of town assignment. Inside was an awesome photograph they had taken on vacation in a black paper frame/card, a thank you inked in silver pen. Also included was a $500.00 AmEx gift card! After finishing a conference call I immediately telephoned them to say thanks. I was blown away!!

The responsible guy in me says I probably need to save this money for some upcoming expenses on the horizon... However, in the interest of fun - if you had this in hand, how would you spend it on collectibles or cards?

    Congrats ... enjoy the money. If you need it to pay bills ... then do just that. If not and it's some extra money for you, then buy what would make you the happiest!!!
    STAY HEALTHY!

    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

    Very sound advice. Almost attorney-like, in fact..

    You know what I'd do if I had $500?

    Two cards at the same time?

    I think Bo might charge for than $500 for what you really want, but hey....never hurts to ask

    I'm a call center manager, was helping turn around an under-performing center in a different city about 11 hours away from where I live. Sorry, no scandalous back-story...

    I would buy some Topps redemption cards!

    Just kidding. Put half in the savings account and spend the other half on anything you want.

    I would probably bank it or pay a bill. Now if you feel lucky, the Power Ball Jackpot is 400 million tonight. You could take that free 500 and roll the dice on 250 tickets!!!

    I don't think I have the stones for that. Before I'd risk it all, I'd go buy a bunch of cards - sure shot.

    3 ways? That makes no sense. Split it two ways, like Bo did his professional sports career. image

    Congrats on the bonus!
