How to spend 20,000 euros

[Mich the Tester]

After a protracted battle involving debt collectors and lots of phone calls, my last clientco, a small software house, has finally paid the 20,000 euros he still owed me, even though I’d actually given up hope of receiving it.

How should I enjoy this windfall?

Spend it all on the wife, you know she deserves it.

Treat yourself to a really expensive case of wine.

Is that you Mrs Tester?

Hmm... buy experiences, not perishable things.
Stow a bundle in some shares/investments long term, and have an all-expenses trip somewhere for some quality time with your wife.

Get yourself a mountain of coke, vodka and hookers!

Thanks, but when I'm dead they can just shove my dead body through a shredder and leave me in the green bin; I won't care.

Assuming your wife helped you collect said dosh, definitely spend a good chunk on her.

Create a holiday fund with the rest. As RH said: "buy experiences, not perishable things."

Whenever I get an unexpected windfall, I save half and spend half.

Spend the 10k on what ever floats your boat. For me it would be a new (well secondhand) boat.
