but most can't.
I have 4 bills that I could pay off. The return would be that I would have the freedom to put $500 bucks monthly back into the economy somehow; be it helping out my brothers and sisters which in turn would put even more money back into the economy or remodel my home. I could also help my daughter so she wouldn't have to work so hard while attending Nursing School.
$10,000 may be chump change to Romney, but it would do a LOT of people (and the economy) a lot of good.

the hard part would be picking out which projects.

(3,069 posts)I'd like to pay a big chunk towards my car note. The car needs registration and oil change etc. Clothes and household items are needed. Cats need to go for a check up at the vet. I'd like to do some things around the house.... just off the top of my head. 10000 dollars would do a whole lot for me right now.

(50,573 posts)I would like to be a skin care specialist, for which you need a license that requires $5000 in schooling. Add in $3000 for living expenses while in school and while getting established, and a couple grand for equipment (skin care equipment is not cheap) and $10,000 would just about do it.

(771 posts)I might put a third of the $9,000 in gold and silver, since I think they're going to go back up.

(45,851 posts)Other than gasoline for long trips I'd never have to pay for energy again.
And I'd probably have money left over after doing all that too.

(135,425 posts)I'd look for two respectable beaters that ran well for them.
That would be such a windfall for so many people; Romney regards it as the appropriate amount for a testosterone-fueled "I know I am right" bet.
Damn. Talk about "out of touch."
