Define spend. Other people are talking about converting it to stocks, but that feels like cheating, since if you’re already set up for that it’s like a bank account that goes up and down a bit.
I also thought of a used car, since I can definitely spend that much on it today, it’s probably worth about as much tomorrow, and it’s a physical thing that definitely counts as a purchase.
If it has to be things I can’t ever resell, I’d be at a loss. Maybe a bunch of radio kit on Amazon and a good meal.
Brewster may not own any assets that are not already his at the end of the 30 days. He must get value for the services of anyone he hires, he may not willfully damage or destroy any intrinsically valuable items he buys, he may donate 5% to charity and lose 5% more by gambling, and he cannot give any of it away.
If I had a month maybe I could go on some crazy expedition, but in a day I’m just losing the rest of that money. I don’t even know if I could do 1000; anything I can think of that charges hundreds on the spot sounds like it would be worse than nothing. Either because I wouldn’t enjoy it, or because it’s just super cringe.

OP should have specified Brewster’s Millions rules to avoid all the boring answers
For anyone else wondering:
