Become debt free and go back to college. I'd probably actually try to downsize to a cheaper, shittier apartment so I wouldn't have to work as much while going to school. Short-term sacrifice for long-term satisfaction and sense of purpose.

If I won 50000 dollars I would use it to bolster my account and try and keep it increasing faster than inflation rates or I could even buymyself a nice car it impress women or I could even use it to smoke it a la Gordon gecko or I could create a money swimming paddling pool or I could treat myself to a vacation.

I'd use it as a cushion as I tried to transition to freelance contracting.

I'd say $40,000 would go towards Responsible Things[SUP]TM[/SUP]. The last $10k I'd blow on travel and bullshit.

Suppose there is an app, that can track you and give you all the bullshit to blow cash in. Anywhere you go. All the Time. You can't do anything to stop it.
Would you be Very Interested? Mildly interested? Or Not Interested?

send every pet at my local pound to a day spa and hire a hitman to blow my head off when I'm really not expecting it

If there's anything left over shoot it from a cannon on twitch into the pacific, for my homies

Use 20k to help out with college, and put the remaining 30k in a savings account and then use it as the down payment for my house upon graduation. *nodnod*

Typical ENTP I cant decide on one idea what to do with the money and it would go everywhere like a puddle and not enough in one place to form a nice swimming pool.

Convert it first. Then use it find a better job which gives me even more money (like starting a company).

I would put only what I needed towards university and then donate the rest to various transparent charities. I always feel kind of bad when I buy stuff for myself that I don't really need. I bought Skyrim on sale for the PS4 recently, and then I realized that I could have spent that money supporting abused children. There are other people who need it more.

I'd use it to finance another year in the uni and complete my studies. In my case the real cost isn't the tuition fee but living expenses. I wouldn't need to even use all the money. The rest I'd use in starting up a small business.

2. Invest diversely for future goals.

3. Throw my Parent's a classy but FUN 50th Anniversary party.

Use it all as a downpayment on a small investment property, rent it out and let it pay itself off. Carry on with life as usual.

I don't have any debt and I save most of my paycheck. Yes, I'm Azn.
