There are many ways which I can spend a $1000. It is really easy to spend that amount and I will certainly not hesitate spending it on any of my family members.
However as I do not want the kids to get the wrong idea and start thinking that it is really easy to earn money I will try to stretch the $1000 as much as I can.
- Bring the whole family on a short holiday across the causeway to Malaysia. $1000 is not enough for taking the family overseas. $10K is more like it for a week in HK or Taiwan.
- Purchase new clothes for everyone.
- Pay for 2.5 months of petrol for the car.
- Buy myself a fancy camera bag and another lens for my impending new DSLR/Micro DSLR.
- Bring the kids on a staycation here in Singapore.
- Fancy toys for everyone.
- Have a fancy dinner with R in a top notch restaurant and rental of a racing car to cruise along in.
- Purchase 3 months supply or royal honey which the kids love to drink.
- Get a new smartphone for R.
- Divide the amount into 3 and place them into the kids saving accounts.
What would you do with $1000?

The savings account is a good one. And $10K for a week in Taiwan? That’s more than Disney World.

Air Tickets are very expensive nowadays. Our recent trip to Korea for 5 adults 2 kids and 1 infant for a week set us back by $15K

I would probably do the last one although I would secretly regret not being able to do #4
