the “did you spend all of your money immediately” thread

General Question

Yes. I paid off what was left on my blown transmission line debt, paid my bills, I bought an expensive synthesizer and I bought my daughter a new phone outright. The state refund will be my savings.

After a day of massive spending I’m wondering if I’m alone there and people are responsibly investing their refunds or something, or did you blow through it. One last thread before abandoning the subreddit until next year.
