jamck Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I won $750 dollars canadian in a contest. I just got the cheque today. I am thinking of investing some of it and then spending the rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Self Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Canadian Dollars... Is that more or less than American now? I know American used to be the same as the Euro, which is around 2/3 Sterling... so you won... £40? Seriously. Gratz dude. How'd you win it? Or was it something embarrassing? If I was you, I would put half of it somewhere for the future (nothing risky) and go on a spree with the other half. You earned it... right?
