Not really. Sure there are a few projects or purchases that I might move up by a few years, but my lifestyle is too stable. Honestly, I think I would just put a chunk into retirement. I'm a little behind.

I could start seriously looking to put a down payment on something. So that would be cool.
Ehh, maybe comsider a new vehicle
Makes me feel a little less nervous about the car I know I'm going to have to replace in the next year or two
Man I hate how car dependent we are. So hard to get anywhere without one in a lot of places, and they are just constant money sinks.
I took out a massive loan to pay for home renovations so yeah that would be fucking awesome, I would have more money now than I've ever had in my entire life, I could actually pay for all of my home renovations and all of my other debt combined except for my mortgage and have money left over

it would be much welcomed. I could use it to pay off most of my credit card debt
0 times 2 is still 0. 😭
I'd retire.
Sounds like you're doing very well with savings regardless of magic money doubling!
I'm lucky to have a high paying job and a wonderful community around me where most of my needs are met, so my cost of living is low even with two children.
Ive been working on early retirement wince the day I started my career and Im a little over halfway there :) If I could double even one of my accounts I'd be set.
I am in the first year of my life where I had actually saved some money. Doubled, I think I can live without a job for a year. But that accounts for no food, medicine, or any expenses.
Wouldn't really change my life that much but it's still a good amount
Yes it makes a difference for sure.
No. The money in there is, by definition, money I'm not using.
Does this include my depot or not? If it's just the bank it would suck, I just keep 3 monthly salary there...
