    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 😀

        You’d only need a fraction if you DIY, which is definitely worth it to learn how to do so you can fix it yourself.

    It’s not quite enough, but I need a new truck. So I’d pull out another $20k and get one with no payment. I haven’t had any debt other than my mortgage in years and I’m trying to keep it that way.

        If you want a roof over your head, most places have property taxes of $3-4k per year even if you own it outright. If you want to ever leave your house a car costs about $5-10k per year. If you aren’t living on rice and beans food costs about $3-6k per year. This doesn’t include any clothing, taxes, medical expenses, hobbies, travel, or other bills like water, natural gas, electric, etc.

        If you’re incredibly frugal and quality for public assistance, $50k might last you a few years in the US.

            How relaxed or strict are your immigration laws? I paid $40 just to park my car for a few hours a few days ago.

              Oh uh am in what you call a third world country, it’s nice to visit but idk if you’d want to live here , also 40 dollars is what a regular person like me make in a month, it’s actually crazy to hear that you pay that just for parking parking costs like ~0.2$ to 0.39$ max

          It’s just dumb rich people stuff. Hand sewn camel hair and silk and stupid stuff. They don’t have to sell them everywhere, they sell at a handful of elite shopping locations. The champs Elyse, the Koenigsallee. They go hand in hand with $200k watches and yachts.

    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.

    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.
