If it can't be debt or investments; I'm leaving with 20k of hardware from microcenter.

Food banks.

Would have to be cover the roof in solar panels and a battery set-up. Suddenly no electricity bills would be sick, then you add the potential to make money however miniscule instead... With no up front real cost it's a no brainer to me

Paying less than 20k due to conversion of my 85k UK student loan debt wouldn't be worth it

[–] NewNewAugustEast@lemmy.zip 5 points 5 months ago

Good luck getting 20k to go that far.

Is it magic. Can I like upgrade by hvac to a heat pump even though I could not get it in a day? If so I would do that and maybe get all the ductwork replaced if it could be fit into the cost.

Put it all in Google/Facebook ads that just say “Release the Epstein Files!”

[–] skozzii@lemmy.ca 7 points 5 months ago

Skidsteer, beep beep motherfuckers.

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

Paying student loans and credit card debt.

[–] dukeofdummies@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

Probably dump it all into my mortgage.

I think that would actually give me the most bang for the buck.

[–] j4k3@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

Hot air rework setup and inventory for modding GPUs to maximum DRAM.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 7 points 5 months ago (3 children)

How is this even a question. If you have a mortgage you pay off your mortgage, or at least as much as they let you, anything else would go on a new car.

I would like to get my house renovated but that's going to take more than a day.

CDs (certificates of deposit)

Boring but effective.

[–] RattlerSix@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'd spend half on hookers and blow, the other half I'd just waste

[–] switcheroo@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

For someone to clean my house (totally douche this place out), get rid of all the accumulated crap (like haul away the stuff to the dump or w/e), and then get the flooring done. All the floors. Wood, actually wood.

Ugh that would be so freaking niiiiice.

[–] zxqwas@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago (2 children)

A, gun, 5000 rounds of ammunution and then clear out the supermarkets of non perishable food.

Fixing the leaky roof finally, then a really good gaming chair, and whatever's left on a ridiculous amount of fancy snacks. no way i'm letting that money just evaporate.

We could really use a second vehicle. I want one of those Japanese trucks with the tiny engines and folding truck bed. Good on gas and can still haul things around for diy projects.

Anything left over would go to a GoFundMe or a Gaza aid relief. If I already had that second vehicle id probably donate half and invest the other half into gold, for emergencies.

Pay off my credit card and then that guy's mortgage

[–] erebion@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I'll donate it all. Nothing left, nothing to lose.

I work in I.T and have some gear at home for tinkering. US$20k would disappear really fast.

A different currency

An e-bike and hookers and blow

[–] fruitycoder@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 months ago

Debt. Though honestly I'd ask my extended friends if they wanted to a down payment on a house first.

I don't think anyone is stuck renting but if I could fix that in a day I'd check with everyone

[–] Chyioko@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

My country's currency is shit. Having this much money is enough to build a big house.
