$100,000

I would pay my way into the Rodeo Queen quest so I can travel America and Canada wearing a sparkly shirt and a big hat. (allow 20k Aussie, incl. spending money for that trip). the rest I would put a deposit on a house and then start paying my way into Uni to study Forensic Psychology. oohhh, and try & get rid of that pesky credit card debt :/

but someone said to invest it in your education. I disagree because you already have one, and know how to get more. I think it would be better spent to spend (or save it for..) your children's education!

I am quite surprised by the responses to this question. No respondants have indicated that they would continue their education. Do you really want to be in the same financial position ten years down the road? I think it's a pretty sad comentary.

Paying off my mortgage, my credit cards and my daughter's student loans WILL put me in a better financial position ten years down the road. I can't imagine going back to school at 60.

I agree with you hcjilson. I also don't think that another diploma would put me in a better financial position, but I'd like to learn more and more for my personal satisfaction. And I want my children to receive a good education.

Funny you should say this. I know some students who have friends in other classes (at the same institution) that go into lecture halls at the local university and just sit in and listen. I've done it before, EVEN in a smaller classroom size lol.

In university, you're just another face/number...why not learn for free. Not that I support this, but it's great if you would like to get a feel for a class before dishing out a few hundred.

You can Audit many University classes for a very small fee. This allows you to sit in and participate and such. You do nothave to do any reports or exams. With that said, I guess if the class has 100+ students it is easy to sit in for free. Most of my classes were under 40, so it is more difficult. But I have had guests in some of the classes I teach and I have not booted them out. I honestly do not care.

If I won millions, then I would go to school just for the enjoyment. I would do more history and economics courses.

I already have a terminal degree and no interest in a PhD at this point in my career. I think it's an excellent commentary how many people are looking to practical and philanthropic uses for their cash first.

Fix the transmission on my Landcruiser, buy some new fishing gear, buy a new mattress to store the leftovers and go sit with a good book and pretend to fish. Buy some meat and go barbeque at Mr. Bakers place.

[PhotonicGuy]

Elaneo, I can learn without getting sneaked into classrooms. When I said that I want to learn more and more, even if I went to a college ( which I graduated many years ago), I referred to teaching myself, like some kind of autodidact. And for my children I would pay for their education of course.

To improve your financial position, it's not what you know, it's who you know.


I would fix up my house, add an in-law suite so my parents can move in.

... I thought liberals ship them off to nursing homes?

... I thought liberals ship them off to nursing homes?

Ask any conservative - It's profitable to keep mom at home with an illegal alien home aid.

Or is that the other way around?

[braheem24]

"Profitable" sounds like a conservative concept, whereas harboring an "Illegal" sounds more liberal... Now I'm all confused.

[Uncle Fester]

Just stay very afraid and vote republican in the fall.
