Like 15 abortions. God I love abortions.
I do not understand that, in my country abortions are free
(ok, not actually free. You need to pay 15 euro for the blood test, a 30 euro tax, 2 euro for the hospital parking fee and around 10 euro to buy the painkiller or antibiotics after the operation)
Dude, I wish I lived in a civilized country. My cancer treatment would have cost somewhere in the range of $5 million without insurance. Healthcare is a human right
Dude, I just got the post-exposure rabies vaccine. Was four trips to the ER at $125 USD co-pay a pop… however, without insurance, I learned it can be as much as like $15k if you don’t qualify for assistance and/or Medicaid.
We really need to take to the streets.
oooOOohh look at mr big spender here with their fancy thousand dollar abortions.
Would make the world a better place than any other kind of charity, tbh.
can I just throw it on my mortgage?
Technically you’re using it to buy a house, so I guess that qualifies as spending it?
I’ve learned reading these comments that way too many people don’t know just how little 20k is.
I could spend 20k in one cart full of items at my local computer store.
It’s not much money, but in Russia I could live decently for ~3.5 years with that kind of money. :)
Stocks
Easy. Second hand electric car with a big range.
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.
$20,000 worth of low-fee S&P 500 index fund
Mortgage, no question.

I clear out the grocery store canned and boxed goods aisles and donate everything to the food bank
I love the sentiment! Food banks/pantries are such a good way to directly help people in need.
But… I had heard that it’s usually better to give cash to food banks/pantries rather than food, that way they can buy what they need generally* at better prices than we can get. But I’m not directly involved in food banks/pantries, so please correct me if I’m wrong.
Of course, if you can get mega deals on real food* with coupons or whatever, then of course that’s better.
**I’d also heard that food pantries get so much cranberry sauce donated during November, but cranberry sauce is nutritionally deficient, and that if you donate food, make sure it’s real food.
Crypto is faster. Even if you believe it’s a scam, you can always just buy $20K worth of ETH and then just cash it out immediately. Would take less than 2 minutes.

Pay off my car loans.
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
Good luck getting 20k to go that far.
Probably use it to pay off debts so my monthly stability is massively increased.
Index fund. Duh.
That’s not really spending since you can just withdraw it.
Hookers & blow!
Skidsteer, beep beep motherfuckers.
