I’d get a $20k camping trailer
I’ll buy a new car. I already have most of the money. $20k gets me the rest of the way there.
gold
Stocks.
A $20,000 bond.
Paying off my credit card and sending the rest to my local LGBTQ+ support/advocacy group.
My car is paid off and I still have maybe enough for dinner with the fam.
$20,000 worth of low-fee S&P 500 index fund
~~Deposit for a house~~ no I'd never get the paperwork together in time
~~Car~~ maybe, but I havent got a full license yet
Bad boy gaming PC, Katwalk, as many peripherals as I can find and a pallet or two of wholesale tinned food.
Pay off debt, no question.
- indoor grow setups/storage/fertilizer with the best lights. for both what you're probably thinking, and for my houseplants.
- enough wood/other materials for a shit ton of trellising and soil components for my garden next year.
- If there's anything left over, I'd donate it.
Buy hardwood floor. A trip to Home Depot could take care of it all.
Can you overspend and make up the difference with your own money? Does it have to be just one thing? I need some rules man.
I’d buy stock, bonds, or perhaps a lifetime supply of an air freshener. We’ll see.
Probably a car
Definitely debt.
New computer and I'd get my car overhauled at a specialist and there goes like, 15k. Or more if my car has issues I don't know about
My first car, a full tank of gas, insurance, a better camera, lenses, a better computer and a Google pixel so I could install graphene OS.
Dental work (fixed), pay off credit card & bills for that month, buy new clothes. Maybe get a new laptop frame.work & phone (like Pixel that can be flashed with Paranoid Android). Hair transplant if it can be done that same day.
Debt
Probably start a business and use thr as the deposit for a space in the city.
