Truthfully I'm looking for what people who consider $5,000 to be "small change" would do with it but everyone can answer.

I'm not in a class where this is small change but it wouldn't change my life if $5,000 appeared.  With my aggressive stocks and mutual funds, I make or lose that much several days of the year.\n\nIf I could have it April 12 and the market is up, I'd buy the emerging markets exchange-traded fund with the symbol EEM (I think that's an ishares ETF).  I might buy on margin in real life.\n\nIf I'm supposed to spend it I'd replace our front door and redo the entryway.\n\nIf I'm supposed to do something wild I'd buy a small windmill so I could generate electricity.  Partly to reduce our electric bills but mainly because it's the right thing to do.

Don't call it a "money making plan" -- that will only make people wary.  Just describe exactly what it is ("an invention to make a bike go faster" or "an investment process that I used to triple my money in 4 days") -- be very specific and then people will want to hear more / how.

Based on the question you seem to be a pretty honest person, congrats on that one,  about the money you can keep it because there is no way to find out who the true owner is, and if you ask around every body would claim that they were the ones who lost the $20. I wish that you would have found a $20,000 instead of a $20, your honesty deserves it. God bless!

$200? shoot, if everyone in this place would just send me $1, I'd have several thousand.\n\nCan anyone out there spare a buck?

Sorry! If you find someone to just give 350.00 to someone that they don't know let me know I need to borrow some $$$$

I would pick up all of them, Say, "Yeah, I got a change cycle" then go to my blog and add 41 cents to my running tally of found money.  \n\nP.S. -- A change cycle is when you find a penny, nickel, dime and quarter all on the same day (like baseball players hitting for the cycle -- single, double, triple, and homerun in same game)

Yes and i think everyone does this at one point or another without realizing it.  It is all the small things.  You can put a quarter in a homeless man's cup or give the right of way to another driver.  This is kindness but no one sits there and say "i paid it forward"

The last one I bought only cost me $1.  Although with inflation, I guess that sounds about right.  I'd take 'em up on the offer.

for a year?  a few grand is small, like $3000 - but anything over $20,000 is very large!

C. 5%\nI think. Because 5% of 120,000 is 6,000, and it went up 6,000 dollars.

Lump Sum as you have no idea what the tax laws could change to in the future........  First thing i would do is to set up a 1 million dollar trrust to send ANY child related to me now or in the future to go to collegte only restriction is that they would have to finish thier degree, then they would be debt free failure to do so would require them to pay it back.  second thing give 1.5 million to my brothers and sisters and cousins... here you go pay off your bills buy a new car, house what ever but,,,, this is all there is you can not have anymore .

1,00-5,000 depends on where you go and if you have insurance.
