Would You Rather - Real Life Edition

If I've learned anything in my forty-some years on this Earth, it's that putting yourself in another person's shoes is extremely difficult and not particularly advisable.

Turns out we're all freaking unique.

Still, one must admit there are times when crowdsourcing an opinion can be useful, if only for the perspective it provides.

Analysis reveals you are not, in fact, all that.
Although at times you may be partially that.

The point is, Imma ask your opinion, Drunkards. Because I need some perspective.

Let's speak, uh, hypothetically.

What if something like this were a thing?

Let's say you had a financial windfall.

Not enough to make you rich. No way. Not enough to send your kid to college, or buy that Picasso you've been wanting. But enough to make you extremely grateful to the source of the windfall, and get you really confused as to the best way to use it.

What would you spend it on?

Would you pay off debt?

Would you invest in home improvements so you could put your house up for sale?

Would you put it in your kid's college fund while continuing to service substantial debt?

Would you bribe your roommate/spouse to take the money and get the hell out of your life?

Would you buy 10,000 lottery tickets? Or 1,000 of the expensive ones that supposedly have a higher rate of payout, although you suspect that's bullshit?

Would you sit on it and not spend it on a damn thing?

AKA, MINE you can't has.

What say you? Save, spend, invest? And after that, then what?

Just...you know...asking for a friend.

If you give me your opinion, I'll let you know what I decide.
