I would put it in the bank. My BF would go out and buy a new GAME rather than look to the future or fix his car. Yes $500. is a lot of money. But I don't like to spend or use my money unless there is a good reason. I still go to used clothing stores.
I grew up very poor and I have got over that by not spending. My BF is all over me for not just taking off and going on a Cruise. He tells me all the things he would buy if he had my bank account.
Fact is I have accounts because I grew up poor. I was in those movies where people struggled for a mouthful of anything.
We had fruit trees all around us. I never was hungry.
I don't have home owners insurance. If I need a new roof I go take it from my bank. I don't buy a new car every year. This one I have may be old but it runs fine and payment free. My parents never had enough to set aside for an emergency. A few days on a cruise ship might be nice. But I will wait till Hurricane season is over.
