At the end of the month I get an decent sized check and I'm unsure how to spend it. I know what I should do with it (credit cards) but that's not any fun.

Right now a big down payment on a NEW 2006 (left over stock) CRF450R sounds great. It's either that or put gears and exhaust on the truck or be responsible and pay off my credit cards.

what would you do?

 

Eliminate debt dude. It's a no-brainer.

 

Ditto what D said.

 

Send about $500 my way. Then put the rest towards credit cards.

 

Pay off your credit cards.

 

Pay off the credit cards, and if any left, put it in at least a savings account.

 

Truer words were never spoken...

Those SOB's will eat your soul. I'm paying these SOB's off, one at a time, and will not get sucked back in.

Store cards are the worse... Don't get them, if you can avoid them- just get regular Visa or Mastercards. That's credit in just about any store.

 

There is no such thing as an extra $3,000.

 

Treat yourself to one luxury item of $500+- that you would not normally buy, then pay down debt with the rest.

 

I would buy either wheels and tires, or slam bag my truck.... but then again my truck is almost paid off, and i dont have any credit cards...

I think you should pay of your CC first, then spend whats left if any

 

I agree, this way your not pissed off that you had this money and didnt get anything.

 

I'd put it towards paying my truck off...

 

bet it all on a hand of blackjack..

 

put it towards paying for your education, meaning put on one hell of a party!!

yeah get your cards paid off. you'll end up spending more than 3000 in the long run if you don't get them paid off

 

ok, ok!! It's been 8 years since I sold my bike and I'm jonesin' bad to ride again. Maybe I'll pay off the credit cards now and then save and use tax returns for the new bike.
