so you suddenly came into €20,000. How would you spend it, invest it, or save it?

There are people out there with good business acumen, who could turn €500 into €10,000.

*Not Bitcoin or any other crypto currencies*

for you to eat, or to sell?

Eat. Definitely eat.

incentsitive · 29-11-2018 12:26pm

I'd be happy enough to just sit down and have a nice cup of tea and a digestive biscuit. I might treat myself to a choco leibniz maybe.

Pay off loans and stick the rest in the rainy day account.

artanevilla · 29-11-2018 12:30pm

First thing you should do is pay off any debts or loans.

Second is to go on a mad binge.

£20,000 quick-pick

or if I am being sensible I would add it to my emigration fund!

facehugger99 · 29-11-2018 12:32pm

Coke and Hookers with half of it.

The rest, I'd probably just waste on something frivolous.

Sabre0001 · 29-11-2018 12:36pm

I know I should prob be sensible with it, or some of it, but I'd probably be looking at flights, accommodation, and tickets to the Rugby World Cup next year - and then money for seeing Japan.

We're due another recession in the next few years so I'd buy gold and look to sell for a tidy profit in a few years time. Then rinse and repeat in due course.

greencap · 29-11-2018 1:08pm

why I'd invest it in the construction of my new aero-plane design....the spruce moose.

it will take 200 passengers from new york idlewild to the belgian congo in just 17 minutes.

blissful thought.. a car. Desperately needed now.

I was in the situation over a year ago. Won 10k in my local credit union. Totally forgot I even had an account. Used 5k towards buying share options in employeers company of which are worth 7k -8k. The other 5k I took out in cash went on a holiday to Italy, Milan, Venic, Florence, Rome for 2 weeks. That Chrisrmas spent one night in a 5star hotel in cork (first time ever) the balance of cash left over is only 1-2k but that's going to get me to Asia for 3 weeks next year.

Not overly exciting but easy come easy go

Id pay a months rent in dublin.

Seriously though. I dunno. The first thing is do? Beat off I suppose.

weldoninhio · 29-11-2018 2:04pm

Honestly. I'd pay off my debts. Buy a headstone for my dads grave. Maybe take a holiday to Oz and more than likely waste the rest.

NSAman · 29-11-2018 2:05pm

20K?? I don't get out of bed for less than 50K

TheValeyard · 29-11-2018 2:06pm

Make a bigger kitchen.

Humphrey BoaGart · 29-11-2018 2:09pm

I'd invest most of it in Bitcoin then piss away the rest.

JJayoo · 29-11-2018 2:10pm

Buy gold when world economy is good, sell when the next recession happens, then use that money to buy more once the economy picks up again.
