I wouldn't spend it. I'd whine horribly about being broke, conning my co-workers into buying me lunch. Although, I still would have to pay for the bus home... Well, I'd still have $6 after two days.
I don't know where Mike lives, but I want to live in a place where $10 gets you jerky, lots of gatorade, and a ride on the go karts. Here in Phoenix, you could pick one of those and you might be able to get it for $10 LOL
As for me, I always plan ahead and have plenty of food, so I would probably spend it at the coffee house mingling with the underground of Phoenix!
I use the word win losely, as a poke at my wife. Marriage makes things more fluid. It's nice that way. My money maybe and I'd share my money. I wouldn't get Peanut Butter. She wouldn't get lettuce. We'd probably stuff down a couple Quiznos subs. Win-win or something like that. Though mingling with the underground in a coffee house seems like the more fun option.
After giving this further thought, I don't think I'd need to spend the $10. I've already paid my yearly work transportation costs, and I have enough random crap in my cupboards that surely I could make it two days. I might be eating Malt-O-Meal or enchilada sauce for every meal, but I would still be eating.
So, I guess I would save it and hopefully have $20 at the end of the next pay period.
$10 for two days: A small notebook to start my next month' budget and some stationary and stamps to write thank you notes to people that helped me recently. Because I'll need friends to turn my life into a better direction if I have to count my money at the end of a pay period.
I would buy a box of my favorite cereal, a gallon of milk and some fruit.
For the next 2 days, I wouldn't mind eating cereal and fruit for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
I love me some cereal!
;-)
If there was only two days before payday, I would try not to spend it at all! If my cupboards were bare I'd buy a loaf of bread and just live off sandwiches for two days!
I cut down my transport bill massively by buying a bike and would recommend it to anyone! The money I've saved on travel has well and truly covered the cost of my bike... plus I just canceled my gym membership yesterday as I really don't need it either now so I'm really looking forward to that extra 40 quid a month!
