    If we’re being serious? A bunch of groceries, a couple of household things that I’ve been holding off on buying, and the rest goes into gold.

    My first car, a full tank of gas, insurance, a better camera, lenses, a better computer and a Google pixel so I could install graphene OS.

      Technically you’re using it to buy a house, so I guess that qualifies as spending it?

        I actually did do that, the advantage of having rich grandparents. It’s amazing how once you get a bit of money the system just throws advantages at you. Capitalism really is broken.

        Because I was able to get together enough money to be able to buy a house and put down quite a lot in collateral, my mortgage repayments aren’t very much, considerably less than I was paying monthly in rent, even when you take into account that the rent included water bills.

    I would buy cheap electronic parts to build something like a Risc-v handheld(or PDA) computer to replace a smartphone with easily replaceable parts. This might help me figure out how to work with mipi dsi displays and how to write drivers for them. :) And besides that, I would stock up on canned food and maybe a solar panel capable of charging a laptop, for example.

      I do not understand that, in my country abortions are free

      (ok, not actually free. You need to pay 15 euro for the blood test, a 30 euro tax, 2 euro for the hospital parking fee and around 10 euro to buy the painkiller or antibiotics after the operation)

        Dude, I wish I lived in a civilized country. My cancer treatment would have cost somewhere in the range of $5 million without insurance. Healthcare is a human right

    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.

    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
