What would you do with $450?

[Archae]

Friend of mine won the lottery, $450.

He has pretty much everything he needs or wants, and don't say "donate it to charity or a political party."

Because he won't do that, at all.

10. I was very interested in your suggestion..so I looked it up..

I have some questions being retired..if I could pick your experience..can I get some answers at my credit union or do I have to go online and ask the Treasury agent? From what I’ve read tonight, I thought your suggestion was something I could explore..quickly, as you know. Thank you.

15. I would think your CU could answer questions. I discussed with

my finances advisor. You must make purchase through Treasury. Lots of info online. I think I read about them in WP article.

12. Has he ever splurged on a $450 bottle of his favorite libation?

13. Plant trees!

I live in a new development with an HOA. I just completed an application for approval to plant five trees on my lot so I would use that money to help pay for my project.

14. Put it in a savings account.

Or add it to checking.

A nice little buffer for the month.

16. Last spare money I got

I gave to my nephew. He was driving in L.A. and a truck hauling old tires lost one and it hit my nephew's car, totalled it. No help from police or ins. to track down the truck and nephew needed a new/different car. I don't usually have extra money, and the timing was good.

If I get extra money, I share it with my daughters and grandkids.
