take the cash for a moment...
My first reaction was to give it back. Then, after giving it more thought, I changed my mind. If I were the LW, I would take the money and donate every last cent to worthwhile cause. Money is a tool, folks, and seldom do we have 10K to help out someone who REALLY, REALLY, needs the help. All of us have outstanding loans, or whatever, but we are plunking away at our keyboards, chiming in on this column-- our lives are not that bad. So, take the money, and make it count in ways that neither you, nor your ex, ever could by keeping it for personal reasons.
Man, 10K could help buy a prosthesis for someone without a leg. It could feed 10 starving horses for months. It could buy staples for a battered woman's shelter... The choices are endless, but have fun deciding how you can help make this world a better place.
This will make you feel good now and forever.
