Probably just throw it in the bank / Invest it.
I know not the most exciting answer but there you are.

Quit my job and find a place where I can live off 1000 a month

Maybe leave the parents house and begin a life in an apartament, at 40 years old.
Good luck to you
Complain that it's not in pounds.
That's still over Β£850/$1090 per month. Nothing to sneeze at.
Support open source projects, such as Wine, KDE, Wayland, LibreOffice etc.
This guy is based
Probably find a way to waste it without affecting anything.
I make 1000β¬ per month more than 5 years ago. Didn't affect anything. You always seem to increase your monthly expences with equal ammount. Buy slightly better clothes, more expensive food, get a new pet, etc. and it all just disappears.
Is being able to afford these things really not affecting anything?
Especially the pet sounds like quite a difference to me.
We already had a pet, so it was to make the pet happier, but it was a bad example.
For example in food you can buy the cheap tortured chiken or organicly grown outdoor chiken. It's still the same chicken. You just feel a bit better when you think about it.
Little improvements like this are a money sink and you can easily sink a 1000β¬ per month without really changing you everyday life.
Save it.
1000β¬ is not nearly enough for me to change my lifestyle
It's so interesting to me how money can have such a different value for different people. I live in the EU yet I make less than 1000β¬ a month even though prices are at EU levels. This would more than double my income and it would mean I could finally afford new clothes, I wouldn't have to worry about having money for food, bills would be paid on time and I could even save up a meaningful ammount! It would be a literal life-saver.
Fix my teeth and go to med school. In that order
Privat med school in Germany costs a bit over 12k a year depending so I'd just work and save for a year or two first, then enroll
Save it
Pay my house off faster
I'd rent an apartment closer to my work. I'd also pay off my car and probably get a new one. Maybe a new mustang or something like that.
It'd definitely be enough to let me live comfortably, at least comfortably enough to really enjoy my hobbies.
Save up for:
- Upgrading the A/C
- Preping my vehicle for selling and buying electric
- Cooking class
- Starting therapy again
- Switching back from the budget supermarket to the fancy one
- Dental
- Personal trainer
- Gym equipment
Pay my bills
Buy a newer car and increase my 401k contribution. Maybe I could retire a couple of years earlier than I plan to.
a good set of clothes would be the first thing.
I would buy more money. π€
Edit: No, Iym nut spootid.
Retire
Stop budgetting
Soon itβd feel then as if you live as before.
NFTs, cheap gin and scratchers.
Real answer: pay off my car as fast as possible and throw the rest in savings
I'm south american so converted I could live like a king and never work again for the rest of my life. Uh, or start financing a way out haha
Have less stress, buy books. Is it extra if I make less than that now?
I kinda make that extra 1000 a month. I am a disabled vet and pretty much get UBI for the rest of my life, and I gotta saaaay it's pretty nice. Definitely lowers stress in a huge way. No matter what, mortgage is always paid. I really wish this could be a thing for everyone. Or, you know, businesses would be forced to pay workers a minimum wage based on profits or something, I don't know.
10k in dental work needed. 2k in car repairs needed. Whole wardrobe of 10yo clothes desperately needs replacing.
Probably 50% on the car and 50% on new clothes
If everyone else also gets it? Nothing; rent and food prices would increase and eat it up.
If everyone else doesn't get it? Avoid homelessness slightly longer than everyone else; rent and food prices would still increase and eat it up, but everyone else would run out of money and become homeless.
Relax and invest a bit more wildly, knowing I'll never be destitute
10% spending save rest
Learn to fly an airplane.
Iβd be able to pay off the debt collectors pretty quick. Then Iβd be able to get a car, one that doesnβt feel like it will die at any moment. I might even have enough leftover to throw a hundred or so into a savings account.
Right now, none of that is possible. Eventually Iβd like to be able to make enough to do some of those things, but that day is pretty far off.
Save. Or, hey, if I stay unemployed for long I'll end up using it to pay bills.
