If I won $1k, I would immediately cash out and walk out of the casino. Being a homeowner, I’m sure a bunch of shit would break shorty after the win with would asborb all of that money.
It depends on your circumstances. If 1k will settle some debt and make you rest a little easier than do that. If you have kids put it aside for them in a 529 account. If you are single and debt free, have a blast whatever your pleasure.
Honestly, I don’t know. I had to live frugally for quite a number of years and I’ve gotten so used to it that I still live that way even though I don’t really need to. Getting 1k wouldn’t change that. Probably a nice meal, some rounds of drinks for my friends, a few records and some concert tickets and then there’s probably still a couple hundred left.
It’s so fucked up when you can’t even enjoy a grand without feeling guilty. Living frugal and always thinking there will be an emergency so you just keep hoarding money🥲 i hate my relationship with money.
I did this literally last week. Been wanting a PlayStation 5 for a long time but could never justify the purchase. I’ve been playing every night this week!
If you have a kid, buy the kid some ETFs.
If you are single, buy something that lasts, i’d buy binoculars from Zeis, they will last your entire life. Obviously if you arent into watching wild life, then dont buy binoculars 😀
Either make a payment towards any debts, or invest it so you can have it as a savings. If you don’t have debt and you have a big savings fund already, buy something neat and go out to eat
First, any debts if I have them. Second, invest maybe 50-60% in an investment account, rest into savings. I don’t need anything a thousand bucks can buy at the moment.
Congrats! $1k win? 3 options: 1) Be responsible — pay bills. 2) Be fun — book a weekend getaway. 3) Be degenerate — parlay it all on a ridiculous bet and tell Reddit how you lost it next week. Choose wisely
The answer depends on how much you’ve drank that night. If you’re multiple drinks deep, you’ll likely keep spending it. If you’re sober (or near sober), you’ll likely make the responsible choice to save it.
A new bullet press. Automatic powder feed. I’m buying it today regardless but having extra cash to pay for it would be welcome. Then I’d buy a hot dog and a soda from Costco.
Nothing. It would go right in the bank. $1k isn’t exactly a lot of money to me. I’m not rich, but I have at least that much left over at the end of the month after everything is taken care of.
I would buy my partner flowers and treat her to a nice dinner to show her how much I appreciate her carrying my weight. Pay some bills for her with the rest. Nice to think about but in reality I hate that I am struggling to do this for her. What is man without money? Just a boy I guess.

I’d get myself a nice dinner and then put the rest in savings.
$1000 on Black at the roulette table. Then a sad granola bar for dinner at the nearest gas station
Right back in the machines buddy.
Invest.
Some broad market mutual funds
Put what you bet back in your pocket. Rest is for fun
I will invest in the ETF and not slam them like a fool.
Nothing! I would invest it!

Buy something worthwhile. Probably some

Id just try to save it as I can even keep 1k on , and based on me winning that much , probably means I used a bit of my starting money
A credit card payment.

I would put it towards fixing the cosmetics on my boat

Get an expensive meal.
Reduce debt.
Invest £500, grab a few rounds with mates and take parents out for meal
It’s so fucked up when you can’t even enjoy a grand without feeling guilty. Living frugal and always thinking there will be an emergency so you just keep hoarding money🥲 i hate my relationship with money.
I’d put it in the bucket that I’m saving for the house projects I want to do this summer:
Half goes into savings/clearing any small debts that you can get rid of.
The rest goes on a little break somewhere.
A certificate of deposit
A pack of smokes, some rolling papers and a bag of weed.
1k isn’t enough to buy anything I truly want that I don’t already have
I’d put it towards my mortgage
Drinks, dinner.
I would put it into my hobby. Get a new tool that is nicer than what you already have. Or upgrade something you use every day to a nicer version
Buy a suit, look good and have a reminder of your good fortune.
All in red
I did this literally last week. Been wanting a PlayStation 5 for a long time but could never justify the purchase. I’ve been playing every night this week!

Pay off your credit cards.
Always pay off debts first, then investments.
I’d put it on my mortgage or throw it into an ETF
I throw it right back into the casino. Hahaha
I would buy a watch, there are plenty good looking entry level swiss watches for this price
I’d just pay off the remainder of my debt. That’s about all I have left on it.
Put it into my savings account
Either make a payment towards any debts, or invest it so you can have it as a savings. If you don’t have debt and you have a big savings fund already, buy something neat and go out to eat
$1000? I’d still be losing
Put it all on red.
J/k
New gun
The new Xbox handheld
Probably take care of some debt, enjoy a nice expensive meal, and throw the rest in my savings.
I usually just go get a random tattoo when I gamble, and pay off shit with the left overs.
Invest in growth fund of America
First, any debts if I have them. Second, invest maybe 50-60% in an investment account, rest into savings. I don’t need anything a thousand bucks can buy at the moment.
Cocaine and hookers
I paid off a credit card and bought some chipotle
A couple of videogames, a spectacular sushi dinner and save the rest
Invest it
My rent.
868€
Always try to win more… Keep the high rolling. May win more.
I’ll go to the dentist. I’ll go there anyway, but extra 1k would help a lot
I won $1k at new years this last year. Wife and I put it toward extra payments on the cars and a nice dinner

Vegas wasn’t built on winners.
Hooker. Cocaine.
Take your wife/husband/bf/gf for a nice meal at a restaurant that you would not normally go to because it’s too expensive

Smart me: investment
A hellcat and g48 slide to build out these frames I’ve had laying around for a while.
A new bullet press. Automatic powder feed. I’m buying it today regardless but having extra cash to pay for it would be welcome. Then I’d buy a hot dog and a soda from Costco.
Xbox series x and Baldur’s Gate 3.
Stock.
I have won $1000 or more a few times. I usually save some cash for my next casino trip and put the rest in the bank.
Expensive dinner of your choice, invest the rest
Invest half, spend 500 on something you want (not towards bills)
You take it right back to the slot machine or roulette, the number 1 rule of gambling is never quit during a hot streak!
hooker
Gold or silver. Get ready for hyperinflation
A $50 bottle of aged rum and put the rest in a Roth IRA
Get a fancy room at the casino and order room service.
Invest half, save 1/4 of it for taxes, use 1/4 of it for a nice dinner!
Put it on black
Buy yourself a nice suit or a new wardrobe.
Stock the fridge and cupboards up
Pay off high interest credit cards
To be practical pay whatever bill I needed to, but if I wanted to have fun with it show tickets and a stay in the casino hotel.
Bottle of whisky, save the rest
Cocaïne and hookers and maybe some booze!
Nothing. It would go right in the bank. $1k isn’t exactly a lot of money to me. I’m not rich, but I have at least that much left over at the end of the month after everything is taken care of.
Car payment? Congrats
I would buy my partner flowers and treat her to a nice dinner to show her how much I appreciate her carrying my weight. Pay some bills for her with the rest. Nice to think about but in reality I hate that I am struggling to do this for her. What is man without money? Just a boy I guess.
