If lurve was dollars, what would you buy right now?

Asked by SuperMouse (30853points) November 16th, 2011

I would pay some college tuition and blow the rest on a new wardrobe. If your lurve balance was your bank account balance, what would you buy right now?

Down payment on a car. Mine’s getting old and I will need to get a new one in the next year.

filmfann's avatar

I’d give it to my daughter, who is struggling to keep her house.

Buy a reliable vehicle, fill the LP tank, give our landlord a year’s worth of rent and buy the family some much needed clothes.

erichw1504's avatar

Clear out all my debt and maybe get a second car.

marinelife's avatar

An island.

rebbel's avatar

I’d buy 18.707 lotto tickets.

syz's avatar

A new roof for my house, and a bathroom renovation.

picante's avatar

First-class airfare to France.

Save it. I have two kids to put through college. One will start in a little under 3 years! My lurve score might pay for one year of college. That would be nice, but I still have to find a way to pay for the rest.

erichw1504's avatar

Hookers and coke.

blueiiznh's avatar

Based on current prices, I think I might be able to get a few groceries.

Sunny2's avatar

I’d put it towards a new car. I have a ways to go, but I’m good at saving.

zensky's avatar

Darn, I should’ve let them accumulate.

EmptyNest's avatar

Not much at this point! I’d have to wait awhile. It might pay my rent and groceries for one month, but that’s about it!

SpatzieLover's avatar

A new porch.

Mariah's avatar

I’d put it towards college.

So. When’re you going to implement this? :P

wundayatta's avatar

Yeah, @SuperMouse. Did you just come into an inheritance or something? ;-)

OpryLeigh's avatar

I’d be able to pay off my debts and still have enough left to enjoy. I would save the majority and use the rest to pay for my return trip to America next year (we’re planning on going to Dollywood!)

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

Hmmmmm… it would be a nice down payment on a new house.

Ayesha's avatar

Jimmy Choos!!!

I would finish the upgrades on our rental house. It needs plumbing work in the bathroom and the kitchen needs new plumbing and cabinets. We never were able to finish the back patio after installing the french doors.

We can’t sell it or rent it to anyone outside the family until the work is done.

I’d pay off some of the mortgage and give my family a nice Christmas.

*orgasms * I wish

AstroChuck's avatar

I’m feeling rather nefarious so I think I’d buy an inflatable bondage chair,  wolf urine, and some uranium ore.

XOIIO's avatar

@AstroChuck You have uranium twice.

not that I looked.

AstroChuck's avatar

Link fixed. But sad to see the chair is no longer available. Guess I’ll substitute this instead.

XOIIO's avatar

@AstroChuck God they put the creepiest mouth possible in that thing. Why not a woman? >.<

MilkyWay's avatar

OOhhh, I love this question.
I’d wait till I turn 18, then buy myself a car :D

SuperMouse's avatar

@wundayatta I wish! Well since it would mean someone died so I don’t actually wish for an inheritance, it would be nice however to have at $25,000 windfall!

Neizvestnaya's avatar

Down payment on a Seniors Only condo for my mom.

A newer pre owned car for my mom.

HungryGuy's avatar

A new car.

Berserker's avatar

Whoa I want an inflatable bondage chair. It’s filled with air!

I denno, I’d probably just make payments, but for sure I’m buying a new TV so I can play my PS3 properly.

HungryGuy's avatar

@Symbeline – Yeah! Zombies look much more gruesome in 1080p…

And get a surround sound audio system while you’re at it…

But forget the inflatable bondage chair. Bondage gear needs to be sturdy! I build my own dungeon furniture and leather gear, so feel free to ask if you need any pointers…

Berserker's avatar

@HungryGuy I have a surround sound system. It’s a bit old, but I hear the zombies ’‘behind’’ me, so it works. But yeah, really need a new TV…

I’ve seen that link you posted the other time with all the gear…you really make all this stuff?

HungryGuy's avatar

By “make” I’m not in the business of selling BDSM gear. But yeah, I’ve made most of my own gear.

tinyfaery's avatar

I’d pay off my student loan and my car loan. I’d be left with enough for a 2 week vacation. Ahh…wishing.

AmWiser's avatar

I would replace my savings thats been dwindling over the last 2 years. Sigh!

Paradox25's avatar

An Xbox since my Playstation 3s keep malfunctioning on me. Yep I have just enough for that, and a little leftover change to maybe purchase a game or two as well.

zensky's avatar

Note to self: never click on @AstroChuck ‘s links.

XOIIO's avatar

@zensky did you not read my comments?

Haleth's avatar

A car, because the last one died and saving up for a new one is such slow going. There will be plenty left over after that. Some of it goes toward community college classes, and some goes into a high-interest checking account.

zensky's avatar

Note to self: first read @XOIIO ‘s comments.

augustlan's avatar

Pay off my debt, do some much needed work around the house (maybe replacement windows, too!), and splurge a little. A very little. I’m talking about a new pair of jeans or shoes, maybe a book or two. The rest goes right into savings.

AstroChuck's avatar

Boy, I wish I had enough in lurve to pay off all my debt.

augustlan's avatar

@AstroChuck Good point. I wasn’t thinking of the home equity loan. The lurve wouldn’t cover that and all the other crap I owe. Sigh.
