What would you do with 50k if you got it handed to you on a plate?

Ah but the average Joe Soap doesn't have the connections they do! :rolleyes:

Firstly, I'd question the relevance of the plate.

CardBordWindow · 22-03-2012 04:24PM

Before I answer this, do I get to keep the plate also?

aaronjumper · 22-03-2012 04:25PM

Buy a very big milkshake. Then put it in a bank and wait for the interest. Mmm the taste of not poverty.

Sindri · 22-03-2012 04:29PM

I'd ask,' Why aren't my cornflakes in a bowl. How the **** am I supposed to pour milk on them'?

Secondly I'd ask,' Why only 50 cornflakes, that'd hardly feed a Somalian'.

I am afraid I would do the boring thing and lash it off my mortgage...:cool:

Amazing the difference 50k would make to me long-term.

Collie D · 22-03-2012 04:33PM

Eat it

Well it's still better than hiding it under the mattress. Hopefully.

Hanley · 22-03-2012 05:10PM

I'd ehhh... probably just take it tbh.

token101 · 22-03-2012 05:51PM

Take a career break for a year or more, and travel everywhere I've always wanted to go. Everywhere possible in 12-18 months. I'd fly to NYC and go through all the big cities on the way to Chicago, then do Route 66 across the States taking me 2-3 months. From California, go to Tijuana and trek through Mexico down through Central America, into Colombia and and see as much of SA as possible in 6 months. Then I'd fly from there to Spain and interrail all through Europe for 3-4 months, and go in through Eastern Europe into Russia, where I'd do the Trans Siberian Express through to China. Once I'd spent 2-3 months doing that I'd head for SE Asia and spend another 3-4 months there. And then on to Oz/Canada to go back to work!

Id buy an electric car in UK and bring it over (cheaper), then Id buy a windmill for powering the house, and the batteries for the car

Richard Hillman · 22-03-2012 06:13PM

Give somebody planning permission.

sunflower27 · 22-03-2012 06:20PM

Oh to dream....

OK, €16K on a college course I want to do. That would be the first thing.

Then I'd book a holdiay for myself and my friends that have had to put up with me being miserable for the last year

The rest I would keep for motgage payments etc

homerjay2005 · 22-03-2012 06:40PM

holiday to barbados for about 3k, a car for 15-17k, throw a party for about 5k in my house and use the other 25 odd grand for a down payment on a new house.

Luap · 22-03-2012 06:43PM

Eat it.

LostCorkGuy · 22-03-2012 06:44PM

Hookers and Blow , last me around a week i'd say

Does that mean lots of low class hooores or a couple of the best?

Chuck Stone · 22-03-2012 06:54PM

I would buy a big field and fill it full of donkeys because I like donkeys.

Ellis Dee · 22-03-2012 06:58PM

I'd ask for a plastic bag or something to put it in, as stuffing it into my pockets would ruin the line of my suit.:):):):)

Thepoet85 · 22-03-2012 07:01PM

I'd have a giant party wih Blackjack and hookers.. Actually feck the 50k!

Still here?

People like you disgust me.

tdv123 · 22-03-2012 09:28PM

Well in a perfect world I'd make a plan. Like this bit on a nice car, this on a nice cruise, this on a nice african child to make me look good, this on cigars etc...

But in reality I'd probably just spend it all on drugs. About 30% up nose & 70% into a few veins.

Then I'd probably end up smoking cracking, because I blew all my money speed balling & have to become a male prostitute to feed my habit.

No, 50K for me please. I'd rather my dignity.

Froggyman · 22-03-2012 09:31PM

Leave my **** civil service job and fund my way through a cabinet making apprenticeship!and buy loads of power tools!

DEFTLEFTHAND · 22-03-2012 09:36PM

Kinda of a standard answer but I'd probably organise a couple of months off and go travelling. There's lots of places I want to visit soon.

To paraphrase George Best, you'd spend 49k on that, and waste the rest?

Pdfile · 23-03-2012 02:30AM

i'd buy all the fiat 126p's money could buy then invite all my friends to have a rally around some ghost estates !

What would you do with 50k if you got it handed to you on a plate?
