I have maxed out my IRA and 401k for 2006 and part of my budget will max it out again for 2007. I'm looking for a way to have fun with some cash. And F.Y.I. I am getting more than $3000, its $3000 after taxes. I am doing a side job for a friend and that is why it's all on the up and up.

You should take your wife on a vacation since it sounds like you will be working alot and she will miss you. If I were her I would suggest taking her to Aruba, Alaska, or her favorite restaurant in another city/country. For example, Nobu in London, Tokyo, or New York (maybe go see a Yankees game too).

First I'd set aside 10% -- more in a minute. Then I would go on a spa vacation and just indulge. Or fly to Las Vegas, take in a show and some great food and play like a high-roller for a weekend. It's better if you can do it with someone else.

Then, for the 10%, I'd have the bank give it to me in $5 and $10 bills. I'd go to a poor neighborhood and just hand it out to bums and people who looked like they could use it. Be quiet about it, you don't want to get mobbed.

At the end, I would see if I had more fun with the 90% I spent on myself or the 10% I gave to other people.

Since you are financially responsible there's no harm in treating yourself. Think about what would do you the most good. I dig aquariums, watches, handguns and guitars. What part of your pleasure zone needs sprucing up? How 'bout a massage chair to put in front of your big T.V.? What about buying a memory? A nice trip somewhere. Surprise someone with a nice gift. That's fun. Show up at an orphanage with an armload of goodies. What about a little cosmetic surgery? Brainstorm. Write down every idea no matter how stupid about how you can spend this here windfall. Pick out what's good. Have some fun. Ray Croc was fond of saying "I've never seen a Brinks truck following a hearse."

Take a nice vacation or throw a big as$ Super Bowl party.

I would save it.


QandA
invest it, start an IRA or just put it into a safe money market account for emergencies.

Take your wife out to a wonderful dinner & then invest it. Even if you just put it in a savings account it will earn enough interest over the years to give you a comfortable retirement. As a person who didn't do this, I am barely meeting monthly expenses & my health prevents me from getting a job to help out.

You Came across $3,000 (legally)
Why does this seem very unrealistic.
But If It is Legal and the Tax dept is not going to be after you, or lesser people like gangsters Etc,,, Make an investment that will grow for the future.
You haven't had this money before so you will not miss it.
Find a financial advisor and invest this money, It will grow, and far in the future, you will be happy you did this,.
