Best--We had too much cash lying around in a savings account so we invested 17k in mutual funds for the first time (taxable) and they did quite well this year.
We also allocated our spending money wisely and used it to take trips to Greece, Baltimore, a combined Philadelphia/Lancaster trip, and a weekend at the Greenbrier.
Worst--We probably overspent on home improvements. We had to do an unexpected bathroom overhaul and although my husband did all the work it cost us about $3,500 (and it's a TINY bathroom). We also got a new washer/dryer that we could have waited on.
Oh, and on that trip to Baltimore we bought an antique dining room table on a whim. Now that H's company is down for the year and we haven't gotten his bonus yet (and don't know if we will), we realize we could have used that 2k better.
