How would you spend $25,000?

I'd buy myself a trophy stove.

Do tell!!

I'm pretty sure its a rhetorical question. But OP can let us know.

I’m working on a scenario for a trading class. And I need my groups to spend the imaginary $25,000 I’m giving them.

That's a letdown. I was hoping for a juicy story.

Open a franchise (or put it towards one as 25K wouldn't be enough I'm guessing) - McD, Dunkin, maybe even something more upscale. Yes, it is a lot of work especially upfront, BUT, in theory, you'll eventually, get a return especially if you have a prime location, good employees, etc. which is better than sinking it into fancy vacations, cars, etc as other PPs suggested.

Chanel jumbo flap bag, caviar leather and gold hardware. And a rolex maybe.

There's a $5000 bottle of bourbon that I'd definitely buy.
New dining room furniture.
New MBR furniture.

Having just come back from Disney -- I could not agree more. You couldn't pay me to take a small child to Disney. Better when they are a bit older. YMMV.

Remodel the kids' bathroom.

Don't go wasting that kind of money on bourbon. Invest in a good Scotch.

Put it towards a renovation we are in the midst of planning. And a nice long weekend to Aspen in the spring.

Oh! well in that case! forget my answer about putting it under my mattress.

I would pay down my mortgage, because I truly do not need any material items.

I think purchasing a McD franchise is $1M
