What Would You Do With an Extra 10K?

I know it's a totally random question, but I was asked this recently. Think about it for just a moment. What would you really do if someone gave you $10000 and said to do with it whatever you wanted? To some people this is a small amount, but to others it's a fortune. Obviously this is not real and nobody that I'm aware of has an extra $10000 for me, but it's fun to think about it. What kind of things would you do with it? I'm sure some people would give it all away. Or maybe pay off some debt? Or purchase some needed items. If someone gave me $10000 I have a pretty good idea where I'd put every penny. Obviously I want be a good steward of it and want to be generous too :) Why is this important? Because I see so many people who struggle with the stewardship of their finances. If you struggle with handling $100, then how in the world would you handle $10000? People have this idea that if they did receive a chunk of money that they'd immediately become excellent with their money. This is so far from the truth. What I'm always telling people is that they need to become excellent with what they have now and so if they gained more, they'd know exactly how to handle it Biblically. Being faithful with our finances is a Biblical principle and area that God wants us to shine in. If you need help with your finances, please get some help. There are many excellent stewards who God continues to bless who would love to sit down and help you :)
