    Premium Bonds, keep it in there for a month and wait until the next prize draw.

    Then probably buy a van to convert for my next campervan project

    If I could find one cheap enough and get everything settled in a day, I think my family needs a new¹ vehicle more than me being selfish.

    I was gonna leave a comment about all the things I would buy, but I stopped for a brief second to consider I wouldn’t have the space in my room for everything I want. All the manga, games, and CDs I’d end up buying. Though, getting a tall plastic storage tower is an absolutely nonnegotiable thing I would buy without question before everything else.

    ¹ new as in something that fits our needs and doesn’t need a lot of maintenance immediately after being bought just to get it running.

    Boring answer but with the 1974 built house I have that 20k disappears into the renovations void.

    Take your pick: furnace, central A/C, driveway repairs.

    Does it works if I get it back latter doznpayement for a 2 million house, with a “provided mortgage is approved clause”. 2 weeks latter tell that the bank doesn’t follow. Too bad I am not rich.

    Alternative is a second hand ultra light plane, wit. That budget I may buy something cool.

      You’re off by a decimal. 20,000 is 1% of 2,000,000.

      For a 10% down it either needs to be a 200,000 house, or a 200,000 down on a 2 mil. house.

    For someone to clean my house (totally douche this place out), get rid of all the accumulated crap (like haul away the stuff to the dump or w/e), and then get the flooring done. All the floors. Wood, actually wood.

    Ugh that would be so freaking niiiiice.
