What to do...

[HTM|JaK_5quat]

My wife's folks gave us $5000 for Christmas! Woot!!! yeah, it's good to be ME! :-)

Criteria:

1) We want out of our current house in the next 2 years, so the new-home fund is important.

2) My girls are 5 and 10. Good ages for Disneyland.

3) Haven't had a true leave-the-kids-behind-and-get-on-a-plane type of vacation in over 5 years.

What to do, what to do...

while a home is more long lasting than a week at disneyland...i think the experience will be something the kids will always cherish...i don't know your situation with the home fund...or how much impact the 5k will have on it..but based on just what i know..i voted for Disneyland.. (mostly because sleeping beauty is hawt)

I voted for farming the kids out. :P Disneyland/Seaworld is a close second. Regardless....I think you should go have a little fun with the money. :-D

Disneyland now, while the money is there, who knows how finances will be 2 years from now, after the new home, etc. Plus, the 10 year old will like it better now, than later...

ORRR INVEST IT ALL INTO STOCK MARKET!

I dunno man, your youngest will have a hard time remembering it down the road. I'd put $4000 in a SAFE investment like a 2 year CD and then take that vacation to Disneyland when the youngest is 7. Take the $1000 left over and use it instead of the credit card in the approaching months that you plan on buying a new home. Keep that credit card debt low and your debt to income ratio looks sooooo much better.
