Stocks.
Probably use it to pay off debts so my monthly stability is massively increased.
Pokemon cards and baseball gear for my son
gold
I’d get a $20k camping trailer
Pay off my car loans.
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
Give 1000 dollars to 19 people and then rack up a 1000 dollar bar and food tab for myself.
A small box garage in the middle of the city. Then rent it out for a nice extra income.
How is this even a question. If you have a mortgage you pay off your mortgage, or at least as much as they let you, anything else would go on a new car.
I would like to get my house renovated but that's going to take more than a day.
Pay down the house or. If that doesn't count. Buy an EV (or maybe the electrical work at my house to support one)
I’ll buy a new car. I already have most of the money. $20k gets me the rest of the way there.
Finance prople, Is it wrong to not spend and keep it at my bank, just in case I suddenly decide to move to France, or I get sick or finally have the guts to start my dream business, or I die so my family can have it?
Probably start a business and use thr as the deposit for a space in the city.
Buy hardwood floor. A trip to Home Depot could take care of it all.
A $20,000 bond.
Premium Bonds, keep it in there for a month and wait until the next prize draw.
Then probably buy a van to convert for my next campervan project
~~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.
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.
To qualify for a state pension, you have to have paid a certain amount to the tax office over the course of a lifetime. As someone whose mental state isn't up to being employed and hasn't been for quite a while, I'm certain to have a shortfall in that regard, so I'd probably deliberately give it to the taxman so that I might be better looked after in 20-25 years.
Lots of ifs, ands, buts and maybes have been missed out here, but in my case it might well be the best use of the money.
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?
