"1,000 tacos from Taco Bell," of course.* Every year, Money takes stock of the current economy and asks, What are [the smartest things to do](https://money.com/topic/what-to-do-with-1000-now/) with $1,000 right now? (Also $10,000, and $100,000, for anyone lucky enough to have that kind of cash to spare.) From investing in shares of Google to purchasing a new work wardrobe, our recommendations are certainly great ones. But many people already have their own ideas for what they would do if they came upon $1,000 extra dollars today. So we asked you to share your suggestions via [Twitter](https://twitter.com/money), [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/MoneyMagazine/), and [Instagram](https://instagram.com/moneymag). Here's what you told us: What Would You Do With $1,000?
