Q: If I were to give you $10,000, what would you spend it on?

A: First, I would buy myself a new phone. The one I have is starting to freeze up and the battery doesn't last as long as it used to. Then, I would put some money towards my plane ticket to Miami, FL that I have to pay for. Finally, I would probably save the rest for college.

$10,000

If I received 10,000 dollars, I would use it for necessities first, and then I would probably buy myself a new car.

If you gave me 10,000 dollars, I would invest half and save half! Also, I would write you a REALLY nice thank you card.

If I received $10,000, I would keep one-third of it for a rainy day, and invest the other two thirds, one third going into slowly growing but steady investments, the other investing the other third between rapidly growing stocks.

Andrew Wright, Period 2

If I was given $10,000, I would keep $4,000 and invest the other $6,000, mainly in steady high dividend stocks as well as companies I personally use as well as those that are known to do well. With my 4,000 I would use it as a pleased, which more than often, is very little at a time. I’d then also start an experience gaining job, such as an internship.

Stefano Ingargiola, Period 5

If I was given 10 grand I go around the world and explore plenty of things that I didn't know before. To save as much money as possible, I would avoid hotels and stay in hostels and get the full traveler's experience. I would also save a small chunk of the money to invest and to hopefully get a huge profit!

If I was sent to live on a space station for three months and could only bring three things, I would bring a huge photo album of my friends and family so that I wouldn't feel lonely, some sort of music devise that has all of the music that I listen to (since I can't survive without music), and the Hobbit since it is a very good book and a wonderful source of entertainment.

Nicest Thing...

For my 15th birthday my friends put together an at-school scavenger hunt with clues in each of my classes leading to a next friend. By the end of the day I had the biggest smile on my face and couldn't put words together to share my love for everyone that took part in it

When I was in Hawaii there was a beach my friends and I wanted to go to, it was at the end of a 5 mile road of hardened lava. We started walking and it was horrible. These people gave us a ride in their car down. That was the last super nice thing I can remember someone doing for me.

Micha Sevenhuysen, period 2

If I was given $10,000 dollars, I would first invest a healthy sum into some composite bonds, in order to have some stocks in self investments, this would also require a management fee, and would probably be about $6,000 dollars of spending. I would spend 3k into my own investments, then save the extra $1k in a savings account.

Hi Mrs. Chapman,

If I was given $10,000 I would spend it on traveling because I have never been out of the country and have always wanted to travel the world. Europe is on my bucket list, so I would probably go there first. Even though I am eager to travel, I would definitely save a portion of the money for the future.
