$50,000 just appeared in your bank account. How much is that going to change you life and what would you do with it?

It wouldn't change much. I'd consider investing some into a brokerage account.

I might do a home project (fence or landscaping) sooner than next year.

Probably sit on most of it.

I imagine if it just 'appeared' in my account the first impact would be all the questions I have to answer about where this money came from and how it just 'appeared' in my account.

Wouldn't quit my job. $50K is not even remotely close to fuck working money. Would probably put it towards a down payment on a house. With my current job I could afford a mortgage, the problem is putting together the down payment.

Not too much. I'd probably drop half into the principal of my mortgage and the other half into emergency funds >_> Maybe I'll take 5k for a nice vacation but that's it

It would pay off my car and my undergrad student loan debt. If there's any amount left after that I'd just look for whatever smaller debts I can pay off. My pharmacy school debt is massive so that's not going to touch it.

I'd be able to start house hunting in earnest. That, combined with my savings, should be enough for a decent down payment.

Probably still going to be sniped by someone paying cash up front though.

This. It really wouldn't change my life right now, but it would helpful long term.

I am currently getting an extra $25k due to being laid off, getting severance, and then finding a job before severance ran out. So I am paying off my car loan.

I'd square out the credit card bill and ~200$ in student loans I've been procrastinating on and probably send 30k to the parents to do house stuff with, leaving some 19k to futz around with and probably ultimately not do a whole lot

My needs aren't much and my job pays well enough.

Pay all debts - $15k
Invest - $20k
Vacation - $5k
IRA - $10k

On 2nd thought, I may have to make some concessions to the above because I've always wanted to take out a multi-million insurance policy for my kid to collect on. Not sure how much that would cost, but whatever it is, a portion of the $50k would be allocated to it.

Reminds me of that time Taylor Swift gave every single one of her employees an extra 100k bonus and there were some that bitched about her giving so little as she is so damn rich. I don't think those people understand how much life changing is to receive a 100k bonus.
