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.


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.

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

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

You couldn't pay me to take a Disney trip with my kids when they were toddlers .


Right? $25k for a nightmare lol


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.
