Down payment on a house

Buy enough solar and batteries to become energy independent for the rest of my life.

Pay off bills for the year. Donate the rest to food pantry. Fuck money.

Slap in a bank account and feel a little more secure but still nowhere near being able to retire.

Renovat my bathroom, install an air conditioning system, use the rest to pay the mortgage.

Straight to my mortgage principal. Because I'm dull like that.

1. Buy 1 month of Trump’s Truth social access early for $10,000
2. front run whatever industry he decides to fuck next for $40,000
3. profit?

Pay for new teeth, up my Patreon subscription for my favorite artist by factor 5 and then back some great projects made by human artists on Kickstarter.

Buying the best bed possible, paying off my whole debt, and going to sleep for a long time.

probably give my 10 favorite people $5k. id do it anonymously too.

I would invest in something useful, for example, put aside a few dollars for expensive treatment if they are needed in the future, donate small pieces to projects or organizations that are interesting to me, or open source programs, if I really like the program, the rest of the money would be spent on things for my work, like a good computer, and other all sorts of necessary things, and I would also invest in crypto, which is reliable in cold wallets 😀

Put it in the investment account. (I do want to retire some day.)

Put it in the bank and live every day like the day before!

I'd buy two sticks of RAM. I know I'll have to use some of my own money but I think it'll be worth it.

I'd take time off work and travel europe for 6 months with my wife

Pay off mortgage, not glamorous but it works.

I'd try to work out what the scam is as I work in sterling or euros usually.

Pay off my wife's student loans which run us like $900/m. With the ~10k left over split it into some HYSA for my kids and my sister.

The extra $900/m would go towards the principal on our mortgage and maybe we could actually pay it off before I die.

Dunno. Probably see what my family needs most first, then check if it's worth getting a used electric car. If not, keep it around to pay some standing debts.

See if it's enough to get me a down payment on a house. Probably not though.

$50k is a weird amount.

If you're currently financially in crisis, it will probably save your life. But if you're doing okay, it probably won't change your life much. And if you're even mildly rich, like six figure salary, you might not even notice.

I'd probably just put it in vanguard or a high yield savings, in preparation for bigger expenses that are probably coming (eg: moving, unemployment)

This thread is depressing.

Not work a day in my life. My country is so poor that's enough to sustain me for 50 years.

Kayak the McKenzie river from Yellow Knife to the Arctic sea. Ascend Mt Robson via the wishbone arête. Whitewater raft the full Grand Canyon. Have a Diet Coke.

Go to a really nice dinner and put the rest towards my wedding anniversary.

Buy some solar panels and throw the rest at my mortgage

Mostly retirement funds, but I might splurge and buy myself something nice as a treat

Invest it. I don’t need stuff so I wouldn’t go on a shopping spree. I’d rather have it later and take some vacations with family.

Pay off all debt except the house. Pay the taxes on the 50k.

Straight into the investment account. It's not nothing but I'm not strapped for cash, and 50K USD alone can't do much where I live...

Pay off immediate debt. The rest in the high yield or whatever has the best over like 5 or so years. Not tell an app my exact needs with that money.

Buy gold and bury it in the communal garden.

Debt free and my kids get superb birthdays every year

don't work for as long as the money lasts.
