Same that would pay off all my debt.

Out of curiosity, how low would that dollar amount have to be for you to opt to spend it on something else? Would it still go to debt if it was only 1,000 or something?

It would either go to the principal my mortgage or to Procter and gamble stock

Edit, actually right now I'd buy the rocket lab dip with half, then the other half to mortgage principal

i ran the numbers, and i was surprised to find that $20K would get you about 5 gold coins.

Fuckin A, man.

In this economy?

Yeah I could probably spend almost all of that on just Ubiquiti gear

Ooh sensors would be nice

I do not understand that, in my country abortions are free

(ok, not actually free. You need to pay 15 euro for the blood test, a 30 euro tax, 2 euro for the hospital parking fee and around 10 euro to buy the painkiller or antibiotics after the operation)

oooOOohh look at mr big spender here with their fancy thousand dollar abortions.

Would make the world a better place than any other kind of charity, tbh.

Look at Mr. Humble Brag here with only $19,980 in debt. Oooooo. So fancy.

;)

A quintessentially American scene I want to see is, a guy wins a flamboyantly decorated game show to the applause of hundreds of thousands of people. The host leans in to ask him what he’s going to spend the money on. He replies all he can do with it is pay off half of his grandmother’s medical debt, and then go to his night shift to work on paying for the other half.

Yeah, they sound like good things to get :)

I'd do something quite similar, under the same assumptions, but would split the money four ways with my wife, kid, and house stuff. We'd all get decent laptops and computers and upgrade the server and backups. I need a new phone, so that would be sorted.

Selfishly, I'd get a new to me motorbike and get the current one serviced properly. Neither would cost too much, but they're things that are not currently important enough to spend on.

I'd pay a cleaning company for a few days of cleaning and sorting, as we all have either ADHD or something close, and haven't been able to get our shit together for long enough to make a difference 🫣

I'd like to get the garage insulated, as it's part of the house and can be cold, and get the garden tidied enough that we can keep it under control.

I've probably overspent, but if not, I'd take the family and some close friends out for a nice meal. We haven't all been together for a while, and there's a really nice but reasonably priced restaurant nearby 🙂

I think I only have half that much left on my loan. Also my loan is at 2.49%. It really wouldn't make sense to pay it off right now.

I like your style

Which one?

Fool. I’d get laser hair installed!

Cat > car

Technically you're using it to buy a house, so I guess that qualifies as spending it?

Seriously this. Like imagine taking a chunk out of principal like that, you would save thousands in interest!!!

Better answer than "debt" unless that debt is at a high interest rate.

You could also just buy a simple physical asset, like gold or silver.

I see your 1974 and raise you a 1931

Or just refuse to pay it.

What are they gonna do? Reposess your organs?

I could spend 20k in one cart full of items at my local computer store.

It's not much money, but in Russia I could live decently for ~3.5 years with that kind of money. :)

The only correct answer

Brewster's Thousands

Car is the easy answer. I don't drive much anymore as a commuter so I'm buying as much hauling strength as 20k will get me.

Mood. I reverse psychologized myself into taking a shift as a dishwasher on the same principle. It was at a bar and I made bank from the shift. Definitely interested on climbing the ladder in the future
