I would pay the minimum due on all our credit cards, catch up on the utility bills, probably give my poor parents $1,000 and stash the rest in our severely depleted savings account to tied us over in case of another job loss.

I would be like most people. I would pay some bills, buy the kids new shoes, and some new clothes. I always wonder if I can strectch each pay check far enough. We do things like I will buy one child shoes one week and the next kid shoes the following week. So extra money would be awesome.
