what would you do with it ?
Would you invest it maybe give some to charity ,blow it all on something crazy perhaps treat your family or be selfish and spend it on yourself ?

No strings attached it's up to you how you use it.

Don't mean to be selfish but £20,000 does'nt go far these days. I would give a bit to charity, and take the family on a decent holiday abroad, cos I've never been to a lovely sunny country. My mum loved Greece and I can never afford to go. Then I would save the rest and let it grow.

i'd get a car so when i finish uni i can get the job i want which is too far away to travel now, pay off any immediate debt of my family and me and use some as a deposit for a house. then i'd have more time and regular money to give to charity, i could really get involved rather than just give them some money and walk away. i would be able to help people and really feel like i'm making a difference, and actually make a difference.

I'd have to be Mr Sensible and pay off my debts with the first couple of grand. I'd give some to my family, then spend the rest chasing the snow all around the world, Canada, New Zealand, Japan, France, Norway, Kazakhstan etc...

If you just gave it to me with no strings attached, then I would invest it, so it could increase a little bit and then help me get started on the property ladder.
It is just impossible to buy a house at a decent price these days.

If someone gave me £20000 I would pay off my credit cards, have a much needed holiday and then invest the rest into an Isa

I would use it to kick start the sustainable environmental development project I am setting up - an investment that behaves like a like charity that keeps on giving.

I'd put £5000 each in a savings account for my 2 children. Then i think i'd do holiday of a lifetime for us and go to Peru first to do the machu pichu walk, maybe followed by a safari in africa. While they are still young enough to enjoy a holiday with mum, but old enough to appreciate everything they would see and learn.
anything left after that would pay the bills!!!!!

I would take my kids on a holiday abroad in the school holidays this summer..I would love to give them the experience of going to another country and see differant cultures but its just too darn expensive in the uk ..they hike up the prices for familys at school break times.!!
I tried to find something in a nice place with things to do and see for 2 weeks in july and it was going to be at least £5000!! ..so £20000 would provide a great hol for us 5 thanks!!
(We are going camping instead so keep your fingers crossed its a nice summer please!)

Use 5000 towards our own move. Give the rest to my mother in law. So she can put down a deposit and buy the council house she's lived in for 35 years.

Would you really??? Fantastic!! =)
Get it converted to U.S. dollars first, pay my bills and I would invest it - in my Father's Kingdom and the Great Commission via ministries like 700 club and Benny Hinn that are reaching the lost with the saving gospel of Jesus Christ!!! =)
Romans 10:14,15. 2 Cor.5;20..... =)
