2 – With the 125 euros offer something to someone special
If you don’t want to think too much about what to do with the extra 125 euros, you don’t want to save or invest it, but you also don’t want to spend it on the first thing that comes your way, so consider giving a gift someone special. It could be your wife, husband, child or even your parents. There are a lot of useful and even sentimental value things you can offer. So, here are some suggestions:
3 – A romantic getaway
One romantic getaway is also a hypothesis to consider. After all, who doesn’t like to spend a good time with their better half? Enjoy and relax from the stress of everyday life. Think of something different because options abound! So here are some tips to spend the 125 euros from the Government “in love”.
4- Take advantage of the 125 euros to pay fixed expenses
They exist fixed expenses, generally, monthly, which you can always take advantage of to pay them with this extra money, such as: Water; Light; Gas; Telecommunications; Etc. In other words, you can always choose to pay a fixed expense that you have and that you have difficulty paying every month. For example, put that money aside and depending on the value of your bills, take the opportunity to pay your electricity and gas bill. If you can, pay the telecommunications bill now. So, you have two less worries for your wallet.
5 – Buy something special for yourself
If you live with “cash on the line”, you certainly have something you’d like to buy and have been putting off. For example, a piece of clothing, footwear or some fashion accessory, for example. Take this money and if the value arrives for your purchase, enjoy! Finally buy that piece you’ve been dating for months.
6 – Buy some Christmas gifts now with the 125 euros from the Government
O time flies by and soon Christmas is just around the corner. So, save time and money. Take the opportunity now to buy some gifts you can with the 125 euros granted by the Government. Depending on the person you are going to buy the gift for, there are plenty of options. For a man who likes fashion, think of a watch, perfume, a shirt or a pair of shoes, for example. If you like sports, for example tennis or padell, offer a racket. Or, if you like water sports, think about a paddle board.
7- Fix or repair something you’ve been putting off
This extra money can come at a time when you have a any damaged goods, be it a TV, car, computer or any other equipment. Even so, even if these 125 euros are not enough, there are small things that are necessary and that don’t even require a lot of money but that we keep putting off because we always have priority expenses.
8 – Spend the 125 euros at the supermarket
If you don’t have a better need or idea, consider spend this money on essentials. So, go shopping and bring a basket of food for the month. So, make your own basket, never forgetting that your “budget” is 125 euros. Think of this money as extra income. Finally, bring only essential goods and take into account the expiration date.
