$1000 / €1000 magically appears in your wallet, what do you buy?

[Mercadi]

I'd pay off a debt to a brother of mine and get me a nice dinner.

[Saphyron]

Put it in my savings account for when I need extra money.

this and pay back my loans

[Evolixe]

With the money i already have and that, a drivers licence.

[Felicia]

Plane ticket to Chicago. O'hare, to be specific. It's really close to RTC, and I REALLY want to see my husband graduate basic training. I'm going anyway, thank God for early Christmas gifts! But I'd rather buy them myself :P

[Deleted]

I'd buy lots of Cocaine and dance to "badger badger badger badger badger"

[muto]

I would save it

[v2prwsmb45yhuq3wj23vpjk]

Nothing.

Thinking of buying an Xbox 360 right now, but getting $1000 wouldn't really change that because my hesitation is driven by a question of "Will I really use this enough?"

[inboundpaper]

Quite a few concert tickets, some t shirts that actually fit.

[morbidone]

For me it would be a down payment on a Toyota Tundra 2012 Double Cab 4x4 Truck.

Man those are nice trucks!

This:

I bet you don't ever even haul anything....
Maybe you have heard about this problem called climate change? How about a nice economical car instead? Way less upfront cost, way less upkeep costs, and much better for the environment! And if 1k is the only thing preventing you from buying a new vehicle, then that wouldn't even prevent you from getting the car.

Also 1k bucks and 1k euro are different amounts of money.

I would probably just put in the bank. I don't really want anything right now...

[FathomFear]

I would save it

This. I'm a compulsive saver. Pretty much all my extra money goes towards investments. I'm on track to have 250k saved by 2014, so I'm happy with my progress so far.

[melodramocracy]

Honestly at this point, I'd squirrel it away or throw it at a bill. If I had to spend it though? It'd go towards either a Royer R-121 ribbon mic, or an Orange 2 x 12

[Sayl]

An ideal shopping spree would consist of a decent hand-wound mechanical watch, a new food processor, and a few high-end kitchen knives. In a reality-check kind of situation though it'd go toward building a new PC.

[Snuzzfizzle]

I'd buy a couple of hookers and have a great evening.

[Bathory]

Plane ticket.

[sdkphoenix]

I'd buy a new monitor, and upgrade my computer or build a new one with the best stuff I can get.

[Kralejeeze]

I would pay an extra month of rent and try to stay one month ahead for as long as I could.

[ruuBEN]

A new chair for $70,
Some new clothes for $200,
save the rest.

[Stormcall]

A laptop for playing WoW at work(I work overnight at a hotel, we have free wifi here so I can get online with our PCs, but not do any gaming), a Cold Steel Espada XL(I collect knives, and would love this one, but at $250+, it's way out of my budget) then rest would be kept as emergency funds.

Espada XL:

[morbidone]

Why in the hell would you pay $250 for a stupid pocket knife. How do you collect new shit anyways?

[PizzaSHARK]

Sadly it would go directly into my bank account.

Shit, what's sad about that? That's where mine would go, too.
