    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.

    1. indoor grow setups/storage/fertilizer with the best lights. for both what you’re probably thinking, and for my houseplants.
    2. enough wood/other materials for a shit ton of trellising and soil components for my garden next year.
    3. If there’s anything left over, I’d donate it.

    Would have to be cover the roof in solar panels and a battery set-up. Suddenly no electricity bills would be sick, then you add the potential to make money however miniscule instead… With no up front real cost it’s a no brainer to me

    Paying less than 20k due to conversion of my 85k UK student loan debt wouldn’t be worth it

    Buy the cheap old beater down the road from me. Pay my truck down and sell it. The rest goes to the house.
