How would you spend an £8k windfall??

[Ilikeyoursleeves]

Hypothetically speaking if you came into £8k unexpectedly (and say you didn't need to pay off any debts) what would your fantasy spends be?

Oooh, a big shed when I can put my pole up!!

I got a similar sum and we added it to the holiday funds, had a fantastic and more luxurious one in the US.

Should go into the new car fund, or on doing a few bits around the house but i would love to get my eye bags sorted !

A little break and a little shopping trip then save the rest.

Cartier watch and ring thank you 😁

3k savings, 5k holiday, although probably I'd spend it all on a holiday 🤣

I could easily spend that on home improvements that need doing - new carpets, new or paint current internal doors, painting, a new shower and bath.

A shopping trip with my dd, and then dinner and a night in a 4 star hotel.

Holiday!

Either upgrade flights for our holiday next year or a cartier watch

Into our campervan fund

Split evenly between car, holiday and house bits. All of these would need topping up but it would be a great start!

I'd use it towards a kitchen that isn't falling apart.

Ohhh I just spent some savings on a wheelchair and it was the best money ever spent. I feel like it's given me a bit of my life back.
I felt very lucky to have money spare. Well it wasn't really spare as it could have been spent on other things but my husband understood how much I needed it.

I would definitely say it is worth trying turn2us grant search though as some people with my condition have been successful getting wheelchairs that way

I'd split between savings, a bonus holiday and house renovations

This would be me too!

Half for household decor things that we are saving for and then working through slowly!

Some of it for a holiday.

Kitchen.
Or driveway,

I have an unexpected inheritance due soon. Not sure how much but think it’s in the £6k-£8k range.

We’re planning:
First ever abroad holiday
New bed and mattress
New living room curtains and rug
Hopefully enough left over to book a short UK caravan break with our adult DC and grandson

I could beat that for forward planning! I'd stick it in DS pension.

House rewired.

Kitchen floor tiled.

Garage roof repaired.

Buy new passports. (I mean, I'm going to do this anyway, but I wouldn't wince at the price if I had £8000)

I think I’d save it/buy premium Bonds or something!

Wood burning stove.

City break.

4 week trip abroad

Couple of 'extra' holidays (ie going for Xmas as well as our usual summer holiday)

Car or travel
