Found money (second day)


Bank error in my favor! My account's been credited $2,000. Whoopee.
  • $500 to the rainy day fund;
  • $1,000 to Mr. Visa (and/or other short term debt);
  • $500 for a weekend getaway with the missus.

Found money (first day)

If I found $1,000 in my recycling bin here's what I'd do with it:
  • $250 to Wesleyan University (I would like to participate in giving that experience to another kid);
  • $250 to the Food Project (sustainable agriculture in the city rocks);
  • $50 to Planned Parenthood (even tho my eggs have turned to dust we gotta keep choice legal);
  • $50 to ACT Roxbury (support arts initiatives for black folks in Roxbury);
  • $200 to Cyrano's student loans;
  • $100 to the rainy day fund (a girl's gotta be prepared);
  • $100 would disappear on a night out with the Breakfast club (pictured above).
P.S. I'm not usually this altruistic -- this is the season for giving (so I've collected a bunch of gift receipts for my favorite charities). At any other time it would go towards random, untraceable junk
