Unless you found the secret to growing money on trees, most of us have to spend decades working and saving until we get a decent bulk load of cash. We all wish to wake up to a phone call one day telling us that we just won a big cash prize so we can finally quit our jobs and live the dream life.

So what would you do if that actually happens to you? Of course, the responsible thing to do is to put the money somewhere it can grow, like investments or fixed deposits.

But one can dream, right? Here are some ways to spend money if you win RM50,000 in cash (this is just for fun, so continue reading with a hypothetical lens):

Get that home makeover you’ve been fantasising about

You’ve scrolled through Pinterest countless times. You’ve seen IKEA’s Instagram feed. You know you want that brand new set of couch and a whole new built-in wardrobe. Consult an interior designer and your ‘new’ home could be just a click away.

Don’t deny the fact that smash burgers you can get by the roadside at midnight is your guilty pleasure. With that amount of money, you can get a lot of Ramly burgers for a burger party with your entire neighbourhood or residential area, and some leftovers too.

Convert your parents’ home (or yours) into a smart one

Fancy technology doesn’t always come cheap but they are OH. SO. CONVENIENT. So if you’ve got some money to spare, it might help to treat your parents and transform their home into a 100% smart home with ‘smart’ assistants all around the house! Show them how it feels like to turn off the lights just by clapping!

Get a private island and just live life

Did you know that there are private islands for rent? Now you do! On days when you feel like leaving the city lights behind, escape to a private island for a week or two and give yourself that quiet and serenity you’ve been longing for. You can get an island in France for about RM1,200 a night or New Hampshire for less than RM2,000 per night and you’ll finally have your own private island holiday.

Pay for someone’s education

One of the best gifts you can give somebody is education. Money may come and go, but good education is priceless. There will always be someone out there who can’t afford to go to school or get a diploma, which is necessary to enhance their quality of life. So use the money to help someone who’s less privileged! 

But wait a minute… who’s going to give us RM50,000 in cash?
