What if I gave you $86, 400...How would you spend it?

Question

If I gave you $86, 400 how would you spend it?

Before you answer, here is the catch:

First: All the money has to be spent within 24 hours. None of it can carry over through investments, etc. You can't have a penny left over.

Second: You may or may not get another $86, 400 tomorrow. I may give you more, I may not. You will not know.

Honestly, how would you spend the money? Would you spend it wisely, or would you just blow it all?

How would you spend it?

Ok....now that you have answered.

Do you know that there are 86,4000 secomnds in every day? You have to spend each second within 24 hours, and you may or may not get another 86,400 seconds tomorrow...right?

Do you spend your time as wisely as you would spend the money? Be honest.

Time is waisting!!!!!

Answer 1

Give 25,000 to my Church.

Pay off my Mothers car and pay on my mortgage.

Answer 2

Pay off all bills, utility, phone, judgements, and buy a new car. Pay for my daughters ACT tests, take them shopping for school clothes and with the rest, buy a mobile home to live in to call my own. All these things could be done in hours. I drive a Ford Festiva but the transmission is shot. Live without utilities because I can't afford to pay off what I owe. I work 40 hours + a week but make 7.50 an hour. Our phone was stolen from the high school my daughter attends. Police report on file. If anything was left over, I'd take my girls on a Florida vacation to Disney world. I'd book within the 24 hours. I'd be able to start over. That's about it.

Answer 3

1) I would contact the poorest elementary school in our district and find out how to purchase a computer/printer/software for each classroom.
2) I would purchase backing fabric for the quilts my quilt guild donates to the Brooke Army Burn Unit in San Antonio. We've done over 200 so far and backing fabric is the most expensive item.
3) I would give my husband and two daughters a day at the spa.
4) I would contact Habitat for Humanity in my county and offer to purchase the curtains/window treatments/bathroom decor.
5) I would pay off the remaining balance on our home improvement bills.
6) I would divide an even amount, perhaps $15,000 three ways and put into my kids' college fund accounts. My oldest is a college senior and only has enough for one more semester, we're paying for this semester for him.

Anything left would be given to the educational foundation of the school district my kids attend.

Answer 4

Sounds something like Brewster's Millions.

Following the rules (nothing left and no investment means no house or car payments)... I'd spend 24 hours having a hayday going around town randomly and anonymously (who was that?) giving out cash to people who looked like they could use it.

It depends on your outlook as to whether that would be considered blowing it all.

Answer 5

I would divide it amongst various charities. First, some would go to my church. Second, a large portion to St. Jude's hospitals. Third, a portion would go to MDAnderson Children's Cancer research.

I believe, I would also pay off what few bills I have, simply so I would be better equipped to care for my family. I'm pretty sure all of this could be done by electronic transfer within 24 hours.

Answer 6

I'd donate 10% to a worthy charity since I came into a gift of such.
There's a woman down the street at least ninety years old and her house could use some repairs.
I could use a new wardrobe for myself, I haven't bought new clothes in ten yrs.

Answer 7

Answer 8

I will help a friend of mine to buy a good restaurant in his name and spend all the money on it. After 24 ours I will join his restaurant as a manager on a good salary.

Answer 9

I'd get a quickie divorce and marry you in Vegas. We'd get online and plan a worldwide vacation around the world with all the accomadations and buy outfits from each country we touched down in!!!!!! Prepay for it all. There ya go-!!!!!!!
Wisely? Ok, open trust funds for my kids college to grow over the next several years, and a large downpayment on a new home, maybe a vehicle too.

there, 2 answers!

Watch the movie "Brewster's Millions"
