Escapist, How Would You Spend £15k/$25k?

[AppleDrums]

haha, OP your funny

£15,000 != $25,000 USD. That's a no no OP, lying even for the sake of nationalism is not allowed.

Uh....

He wasn't off by much...

15K in euros = $20238

That's kinda close just for an offhand guess and not actually knowing the exchange rates.
Besides, 25k feels like a better 'spending' number anyway.
No need to get so defensive in such a casual topic.

OT, I'd get a nice car, new computer for my girlfriend, and then save the rest I suppose.
No need to waste all of it.

Well...maybe just ONE hooker...

I would just stuff it into my back account and save it for a rainy day/month/etc.

I'm a bit of a saver. ...Expect where steam is involved. CURSE YOU TEMPTING-IMPULSE-BUY SAAAAALES!!

Also, congrats.

$2k for an awesome new PC, and use the rest to buy stocks that give out regular cash gifts/dividends/whatever-the-hell-they're-called to stockholders.

 

[NoOne852]

Also, congrats.

I was wondering when someone was going to say it, but yeah, congrats man.

OT: I'd pay back my parents immediately since they paid for my student loans. I plan to pay them back but getting $20k/25k would help it along for sure.

 

[MammothBlade]

Congratulations.

It's boring perhaps, but I'd save towards a mortgage deposit too.

 

[Blow_Pop]

my loans would be paid off and my arse would be on my way to moving to the UK. I'd have my passport and do my application to get a visa to be over there initially on a work permit or a school permit(either way I'm going to be working)

 

[BlindMessiah94]

$25,000 eh?

Probably use it to fund on my wacky ideas. I have a lot of things that I enjoy doing...making comics, creating board/card games, etc...
Would be fun to actually fund one of those, just for the hell of it.

Besides, I don't like owning a lot of stuff...my life is in the opposite mentality right now, where I am trying to get rid of most of my material things.

I would also probably donate some money to put on an event for my community, like a Holiday Feast or something fun like that.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Hello University money!

I really would like to spend it on other things but getting my degree without the debt would be nice.

Buy rocket fuel. Prefab engines are for the boring and uncreative.

Several thousand pounds of ammonium perchlorate should provide years of entertainment, with smaller-scale launches. You could do things like put rockets on remote-control cars, or celebrate your favorite holidays with high-altitude fireworks.

Rocket fuel also tends to burn/explode really well, so it's a smart investment for the zombie-apocalypse-prepared investor.

 

[Slaanesh]

I find the lack of money going towards "pimpin" quite disturbing. Surely a pimp stick, pimp glove, pimp jacket or pimp boots are more valuable then these student loans I keep hearing of.

 

[Rule Britannia]

A couple of Gibson guitars one or two Musicman Stingray bass guitars and a fender precision bass the rest (if there's any :S) I'll put in the bank .

 

[Nouw]

Donate it all to Child's Play and maybe win an auction or two.

 

[Karthesios]

Pay off my student loan and use the remaining $10k to take trips I've wanted to take.

 

[Hashime]

Well:
1. Pay off student loans
2. Buy a nice dinner because that is about all I would have left.

 

[Jedoro]

I'd buy an electric motorcycle and a Barrett M82A1CQ-SYS.

 

[Prof. Monkeypox]

If that kind of money were plonked into my lap this instant my first thought would be:
"Oh goody, that's rent and tuition taken care of for a few months. Now I don't have to squeeze pennies so hard. Time to buy Skyrim and Deus Ex and all of the other big name releases I was intrigued by but didn't have to budget to get right away."

 

[Smerf]

buy the new humble bundle, using every last cent of it
