The discipline of having money (part 1)

Before reading part 2 of this two part thread, take a few minutes and write down your answer to the following question.

If you were to suddenly receive an unexpected gift, capital gain, inheritance, etc, of $50,000, what would you do with the money?

Write down your answer with as much clarity as possible, just as if it really did happen. You are simply noting what you what you would do if it did. There is no right answer; there is only your answer.

Don't worry, I'll wait! Just be sure to answer this question before going on to part 2.
