What would you do if you suddenly had $50,000, with which to do whatever you thought best? Please don't move this to financial section because i can't post there.

Honestly, I think I'd pay off half my mortgage at this point. It's been so hard making ends meet since Howard's accident. I'd like to be more noble...alas....

If I had $50,000 come my way (not by lottery of course) It would be very easy to see what I would do:

$20,000 to personal Bills (student Loan, Car...)

$10,000 to Christian Record Services/National Camps for the Blind (see www.crsblindservices.ca )I am the Provincial rep for CRS/NCB [Smile]

$5,000 savings

$5,000 local church project

$5,000 to ADRA (see www.adra.ca )

$5,000 to family

Does someone have $ to send my way??? [Smile]

Daniel,

My mom used to work for Christian Record Braille years ago. She loved it there. I still remember going through the blind empathy course when I was about 14. Very "enlightening".

hi Wendy - and all! My name is Wendy too - I used to go to school with Wendy. Anyway - I am new at this - but I think after Tithe, I'd have to give a chunk of the money to ADRA. I love the work they do. If I didn't have young kids - I'd by a ticket and go help with all the orphans. The best is to just ask God - he will let you know exactly what he wants.

If I had $50,000, I'd pay my tithes and offerings first--then I'd give some to Amazing Facts, ADRA and probably our local church.

With what is leftover (probably about $35,000) I'd probably put in savings for our grandchildren's education.

Reason I brought it up was that I have a chance to sell some of my land, but already live in the country and maybe don't need to relocate. I was going to remodel the house, but am having second thoughts with all the signs of the Time of Trouble upon us already.

I'm so much in awe at the thought of Jesus really and truly coming! I would pay tithe,of course, but I wonder how else to help and also provide for myself. I'm retired and disabled so would surely lose my SS when the gov makes us decide to take the Mark or be cut off.

Even when the Mark (I.D card?) is required, good ole' cash via the underground will get you a long way...for awhile maybe. I'm praying for God to guide me in such a decision, for how I could help His cause best and help myself and others that pass my way in the coming trouble. But am I jumping the gun?

Assuming cash is still legal tender at the time.

Invest it, make more money off it, give the tithes to the church/a charity, then invest it again, then give tithe (and the cycle continues)
