If/When - I'll spend some on my car. Likely go the cheaper route (I might regret it later, but I just want things back to factory+ condition right now) and do some non-adjustable struts, sport springs (eibach pro kit, maybe), and polyurethane bushings. Plus the related items like strut mounts and ball joints.
It'll be about 800 total, including an alignment, but it'll get the car riding really nice. Much nicer than this 30 year old suspension.

Ours is roughly the take-home pay my wife would earn for the 2.5 months school is out over the summer, when you also factor in we won’t have tuition payments during that time. So it just means nothing really changes around here. No extra purchases planned.
 
Put it in bank to not be touched until after next tax time. Feds may not tax it but you can bet your sweet hiney NC will....if we make it through taxes next year without a hit from it, then we'll enjoy it.
 
It is one credit against many debits.
 
Well my check is due out this Friday
-plan to buy some Jeep parts
-tools

No guns/parts or ammo at this time

the wife is using hers for house junk
 
Back in the bank where it came from....
 
I've decided to let it simmer for 2 weeks. After that if there's nothing (1)needed or (2)wanted it will go on the kitchen appliances. The last item was a double oven on 0% and that ends in September.

The kitchen remodeling is done and was both needed and wanted.

My plan was to pay our income tax bill with it, but few things came up...

Started a new job on may 1, and have a need for a home lab..sooner rather than later..also my NAS died a few weeks sgo, so this further pushed the need...so spent mine on a new PC build. Figured it was an investment at this point. My last build lasted 10 years, so will see how long this one will last.

My wife insisted since I was getting something, that she needed something too..so she picked up a new laptop...an asus gaming laptop that is pretty rad actually.

So yeah, we blew it on compter stuff., my bet is a lot of chinese components in there too.
 
When I feel more like it I'll be buying steel and building a 6x12 utility trailer

Funny how cheap to overbuild a 6x12 on a 3500 lb axle for 1/3 the cost of buying a 5x10 on a 1700 lb axle
 
Blow the shit out of it if I ever get one. Gonna take it and the money from a rifle I’m selling to buy a used Goldwing trike( only way wife will ride)

Made use of mine here in the bst section of the forum and had the pleasure of meeting a couple of cff members. The remainder was spent at lgs where a deal on ammo was to good to pass up.
 
Well if the wife and I ever get one it will go to paying staff for .12 pay checks
 
option 3: saved it all.

plan A: wait for a good gun deal...and then spend it.
plan B: wait for the beach to open up all the way...then blow it.
plan C: decide A&B won't happen anytime soon...remain where it is.
