I would get that rifle I want, pay off my credit card, and then get a Ducati with the money left over

Those bloody Dolan's gave this virus to me....it goes like this:
-Pay off your debts (up to one half of money) -Invest one third -Play with one third so I dont feel ripped off. For 6K, I'd buy jewels for my sweetie, and put the rest to audio gear and a new computer for myself. |

Um... I would get a new laptop, a wacom intuos tablet, a new server for my room, a better sound system for both my tv and computer, and buy as much anime as I can
 If that doesn't add up to 20000 then I would have to put a down payment on a acura NSX or some other nice car

Realistically: I'd put it 17k towards college - that's 17k less in loans I'll need (not even a year of school though
 ) and I'd put 3k in a Roth IRA (the yearly limit).Greedily: I'd spend about 3-4k on computer stuff, getting an awesome, clear, plexiglass case with lights, etc. I'd put the rest into other cool stuff like some nice furniture I'll be able to use for a long time to come and perhaps some home entertainment products.

American, United, and Delta stock.......maybe it is a good thing I don't have 20K. Actually, that might be enough to look at getting some investment property.

Great thread oane!!
Besides of course the obvious, investing it. First I would buy a really nice computer to replace my aging one. I would buy a really nice projector for my computer. Then get a wireless keyboard / mouse. A nice surround sound system. To top it off a super comfy recliner. Then after all that I would spend the rest on a nice car and take a road trip untill it was all gone.

I'd do a "Ghost", and drop it in a collection box at the Women's Shelter. I did'nt earn it or try to win it, I would spend the rest of my life trying to figure out if I spent it wisely. Giving it away or "spending"$20k on food supplies or clothing would make feel like I accomplished something.

half of it would pay off my car. another quarter of it would clear my pressing debts. i'd prolly use the rest to buy out of my lease and look into renting a house.
and a nice 36 inch tv and a decent sound system to compliment it and a ps2 and xbox with enough games to justify owning them and a two taco plate from filiberto's.

That would be divided nicely into two categories.. the first would be $17,000 toward the purchase of a nice Cadillac, some rims, tinting, and possibly bodywork. That wouldn't cover it all, but I'd have to save the other $3,000 for buying clothes and other things to emphasis how shallow I am.

Pay off the 6,000 I owe on my suv.
The rest would be spent on building a gameroom/LAN party room. 20'x20' with a 6'x4' enclosed bathroom. 2 Cat5 jacks on each wall. Router/hub built into wall. 3 corner desks. 3 regular desks. Entertainment center and bookcase. Ive got the plans in AutoCAD if you wanna see heh so I've thought about it once or twice.

Couldn't track down and buy a decent, fuel-efficient used car in less than two hours...
Couldn't get myself my own apartment in less than two hours... I guess I'd just pay off some nagging bills, buy a new computer, a couple consoles and a buncha games, a GBA (I was refused consoles as a child, never got my fill), donate to TFP and a few other organizations, buy a bunch of CDs to replace all the MP3s I've "found" on the Internet (cough, cough), buy a bunch of DVDs of the movies I love, get some new clothes, get a brick of kind bud and procure *three* high-class call girls for the next twelve hours in the penthouse suite at the top of the St. Francis muthafuckin Hotel. |

I'd use it all to pay down the house.
The sooner I get this this thing payed off the sooner I can retire, and become a house husband!

I'd pay off all my debts, and then sepend the rest on my hobbies. (such as playing against others with airsoft weapons)
if they wouldn't let me pay off the bill colloectors I would make -damn- sure they did, even if that involved a bottle of jack daneals, 9mm and a shovel. |

Just to stick with the rules, and assume that "investing/saving" in one form or another would be cheating, here's what I'd do.
Pay off my debt: School: 15,000 Credit Card: 1,000 Other Credit Card: 3,000 Hmm....I'd buy a used motorcycle for 700 bucks somewhere, and then 6 months worth of insurance... ...or... An xbox, with some games, and some ps2 games, and some gamecube games. Oh! And buy a bunch of magazine subscriptions....I spend to much on the newsstand price.
