If you had no debt what would you spend your money on to treat yourself or where would you go on vacation?


I think it's fun to dream!

I would get new carpets. and repaint my office and get new office furniture.


I would get a new back door too with a doggie door in the bottom and maybe add a couple of new cabinets to the kitchen.


Goes without saying I really hate this house.

I love this game!


I am going to assume I still have a mortgage but if I take out everything else...


I would buy a reading chair and a new desk for my office or


I would fence in my yard or


I would redo my bathroom or


I would redo my kitchen (ok that is a LOT of extra money!) or


I would take a vacation to somewhere, anywhere sunny and beachlike or


I would buy a new clothes!


OK I'll stop there! Thanks for letting me play

If money were truly no object, I'd want to travel America's Great Loop (here's the route: http://www.boatwrights.org/images/glGreatLoopmap.jpg ). We plan to do it anyway one day, but probably not for at least 6-8 years. =c)

I'd definitely increase my giving, though. Nothing feels better than a random act of kindness or an anonymous gift for someone who really needs it. The feeling is always worth so much more the the cost!

If I had no debt I would likely be boring to start and save up a decent emergency fund (My goal is 2 months living expenses in an easy to access savings account and the rest in a no load mutual fund account). I wouldn't go as crazy funding this as I was paying down the debt, but it would be a start.


I would buy some new clothes, take a paid for vacation and do some home reno's that I have been wanting to do for ages!


Small things, but important things!

Oh I like this game.......

I would fast track saving for the kids college and save for a trip somewhere. And maybe I would work a little less to de stress. And I need new clothes. And I want to save for a house. Hahahahha, I am going to be in debt forever!

After reading all the post, it seems that we almost all have the same idea.
