    I could find so many things with the house to dump $5k into before I even look at the truck. Use that money to increase equity in your biggest asset.

    Build a bigger deck for your new bigger bbq grill.

    Cant even buy it anymore. Melvin capitol is going to get fucked so hard because of their shorts, and now the flood of SEC violations coming in for trading platforms that are blocking me from buying more GME are going to get fucked too.

    5k knocks some YEARS off your mortgage!? Might as well sell your truck and pay off the house.

    Yeah 5 grand would probably only knock about 18 months off my mortgage, but it would also save a few months of interest too.

    I don’t. I save it because this economy is humming along on federal reserve QE and unemployment/stimmy checks. Nearly half of mortgages still aren’t being paid.

    Keep some rainy day money around.

    Gears, lift. If anything is left over, body mounts and wheels and tires.

    Bravo to those that actually answered the OP's question. Tired of reading the negative nancys who say invest the $5k, pay mortgage, pay truck, blah blah blah. This is a Tacoma enthusiast forum. You won't see anyone on the Schwab forums responding to a "you have $5,000 to invest, what do you do with it?". OHH I'll go buy some new tires and a set of Kirkland boxer briefs.

    Live a little. Have fun. We're all stuck in this 'rona pergatory.

    $5k - I'm grabbing me some Volks on 35s and a nice winch. Boom!

    And I still got $800k left on my mortgage. woot woot!

    Well I wouldn't dump 5k into an 800k note, at least not in SF. I'd be looking for a U-haul outbound

    I change my order. I want gears and arb lockers, enough beer to pay whitebutler to do the install, and then we'll see what's left over.
