If you got given 3k unexpectedly

[sunnysunchild]

Not via an inheritance or stolen or by any dodgy means
Through back pay you weren't expecting.
What would you do with it?
Spend it on yourself? On what?
Spend it on the family?
Save it?
Pay off your 3k credit card?
Or something else??

Split it! That's how we tend to treat a windfall

So half to savings/paying off debt and half to something you need /want (home improvements, a holiday etc)
