can I just throw it on my mortgage?
Am I allowed to just buy a different currency like Euro or Bitcoin?
Does the government know I have it? Because it will cut off my disability, my medical, food stamps, and I’ll loose the ability too live anymore.
But of course I would spend it on basic necessities if the government won’t know about it, stock pile of non perishable foods, toilet paper, fixing the broken shit around my place (as much as my landlord allows) maybe a new bed that’s not 10 years old.
It’s not real that much but it would help my quality of life for a bit longer I guess
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.
No one wants to donate it to charity of my choosing?
(What if the charity is just a thin veil over my own account)
Put it in tax free saving accounts. Duh.
I don’t have anything that I want that I can think of. Maybe a little carpet?
Shit I don’t think you realize how little $20,000 really is. Hell there’s very few new cars that even cost 20 grand. I could have it gone in less than 5 minutes.
Like 15 abortions. God I love abortions.
Would make the world a better place than any other kind of charity, tbh.
20k is one medium home remodel (one deck, Hall bath, or painting the outside), half the price of my sisters powerchair, or paying down half remaining on my car
There is no reason for a powered wheelchair to cost as much as an expensive car
There’s no GOOD reason an MRI should cost $1500 either.
without specializations it could probably run at 12k, and insurance wont pick up anything above basic
edit: i realize you probably weren’t judging, my bad for the attack dog
i mean… there is when she is completely non ambulatory, needs a specialized back to support her upright, requires tilt relieve pressure point throughout the day, and has large tires so she can go outside in the dirt without getting whiplash from the bumps. A privilege, sure, but I think its well deserved
Index fund. Duh.
That’s not really spending since you can just withdraw it.
My daughter says pokemon cards
Smart answer: put it all towards my student loans
Assuming I need to like, actually pay for a good or service… New computer, new computer chair, gifts for Christmas, fancy digital piano, a couple gift cards to a restaurant I like, a handful of games, some nice but kinda expensive clothes, some VSTs…
If I quickly math all this out with generous assumptions for the price… That still puts me well under 20k. I dunno, I’ll go eat at a favorite restaurant of mine and tip the waitstaff whatever is left.
Inventing it all so nothing would be left over
Any of the following:
- Materials needed to make an open source 3D printer, co2 laser, and pick-&-place machine
- Materials needed to make a hydroponics garden system and precision fermentation system
- Materials for a LiFePO4 battery and solar energy system
- Putting a dent in both my personal debt and that of my family and friends
- Donating that 20k to my local makerspace to improve their operations
- Starting a nonprofit
I’d go to the warehouse store and load up on non-pershable food items my family uses for no more than $1000, then donate the rest to Wikipedia so I never have to see Jimmy Wales’ face again when I’m looking up tin pest, Rob McElhenny, or Regulate (my most recent three Wikipedia pages in my history).
