If someone gave you $20k free and clear what would you do with it?

Me? I would pay off the car, buy me a new bike and put the rest to materials for the Trailer.

Oh and the bike would be a Honda VTX1300T.

Pay off student loan debt, maybe.

Or use it for down payment on a house.

Or put it into kids' college funds.
 
Pay off the little debt I have, put about a quarter of it in my high-interest account, invest part of it, go visit a certain someone and enjoy a small shopping spree.
 
20K... in dollars... that would be about 100-120K in SEK.

Not enough for my student loan, not enough for a condo... I know! I'd buy that gym card AND that swim card I've been wishing for, and get myself into shape. Then I'd buy a whole new cute wardrobe to show off my new figure, get a haircut, and buy me a vacation in Jamaica, to see if I can find my Dream Man there.;)
 
I would by gifts for the people I love...and go on a vacation...a month in Europe maybe.
 
Pay down some debt.

I was going to say something else but I really don't want to threadjack this into the political. :p

*Snerk* Oh, I WILL!

I'd make 20,000 one dollar donations to Planned Parenthood in Sarah Palin's name!
 
No, I'd put the whole kit and kaboodle into No on 8, since I don't have any particular personal connection to the money. Now if it sat in my accound for a month, thennnnnnnn I would start getting greedy.
 
Pay off the debt I have, then get my son and GF christmas presents. If I had any left over, my car needs some work, or I would pay off what I could of my GFs debt.
 
As so many others have said, I would pay off my debts. 20K would cover everything right now with a little bit left over for a nice dinner. Then I could start living a normal life enjoying the money I earn.
 
3-year GICs at at least 3.5% compunded interest. Pays off my student loan interest and leaves me a little to play with.
 
20 grand? I'd invest some, go do a little shopping, and whatever is left I'd put in a bank to just sit and do nothing with save it for a rainy day or a hurricane.
 
I'd give it away, donate it to the shelter probably.

Do you know how many tons of food and clothes that 20K buys?

Truck loads.
 
Pay off some debt, take a family vacation, invest the rest.
 
Actually, 20 000 might buy you a truck load of canned beans at most.

Actually, when companies know the food is for the shelter, they sell it at cost. There's a big market on everything. Also, we go straight to the manufacturers on some of the stuff.

Staples are cheaper than junk food, canned goods, rice, sugar, flour, etc.

It would go straight to my child's education. Every last dime of it. I can earn what I need to survive. What I can't pay for is my daughter's future. I want to give her that much, anyway.
 
No, it should go towards your education. Then you'll be able to provide her whatever she needs. Hmpf!
