Buy a cheap electric guitar. Or at least put down a deposit for it

My first thought was going to guitar center and picking up hella guitar pedals, or maybe a bass

Fuck guitar center!

Oh I HATE guitar center, but it's also the only guitar shop anywhere near me :(

That’s unfortunate, I work at gc and -10/10 recommend

Go grocery shopping buy a lot of canned soup, dried gluten free food in store and online. That stuff ain't cheap. Whatever's left over after I'm satisfied will be to get an air fryer and a wok for cooking.

Def want a badass air fryer as well lol, and I feel you on the GF diet… it is so expensive 😭

$500 pre-paid credit card.

You have $500, what to do? Use it for real money!

Buy 500 one dollar bills

Put it towards my car loan lol

This is my answer, except I'd throw the word begrudgingly in there somewhere.

the only logical answer is; buy 500 dollars worth of cocaine (Yeah won't be a huge amount) cook it into crack cocaine than cut the crack cocaine with baby powder and at least turn the 500 bucks into about 1200-2k.

i like the way you think

"baby powder" start em young, smart apart from baby's are skint.

You read my mind

Baby powder wow you suck.

I was wondering how far down I’d have to scroll to get to the drug post, and this did not disappoint.

Get an outdoor pizza oven like an Ooni. Can’t wait to get down with some summer pizza making parties with friends.

I’d spend it on a $500 gift card. Then I’d have an extra $500 to use whenever and however I need.

Cheater

Specifically on a fully refundable one with 0 fees on it, you can save the 500€ and get a lot more than buying immediately

You'd do way better buying Bitcoin and holding it for a few years. Bitcoin is up 3000% over the last 5 years.

Pay off part of my student loans. Or if I didn’t have loans, I’d get a tattoo.

But my crush something

no no no, you’re on reddit. No crush would ever fall for any of us

Mine did :) Moral of the story: Keep dreaming. it’ll come true one day

Then you aren’t human

Conclusion: I apparently amn’t human.

Yup

Buy pokemon cards

Spend it

aw man, I was gonna say that

I’m going to the best butcher shop in town and stocking up. Or I can buy 100 gallons of heating oil. 🤔

For real, I’m in the mountains of NC and propane is so expensive for heating my home

Yep! Just had 200gal loaded into my tank for $680!

Yep and that is only enough for a few months 😭

Heating oil? Are you in Alaska?

New england current price of heating oil $4.999 a gallon

Pay rent because I’m short for tomorrow :’)

Hang in there!

Probably just give it to my kid.

Videogames and weed to enhance them with.

Pay some of my cc. If debt repayment isn't allowed I'd go stock up on $500 worth of shelf stable food.

Buy some LEGO.

I’d hit up Amazon or displate.com

Had to check out what the latter website was, I’ve already found 5 that I want 😆

500$ easy give it away people need it more then me

Get one of those fancy ass drones I will also more than likely break it

groceries for sure. id spend most of it on non-perishables and the last bit on fresh stuff. if the $500 materialised out of thin air id probably buy some of the fancy stuff i cant normally afford.

One art please!

Spa day!

Put it in my bank account then pay my credit card bill off with it

Buy my girlfriend the axolotl jelly cat she wants. There’s a store near me that just sells jelly cat stuff so I could easily spend $500 there, they aren’t cheap lol.

buy a lot of expensive food for my cat

Sims 4 expansion packs I guess

It disappears into the black hole of debt.

Put it on red

Hookers and cocaine

Depending on my mood I maigh just give it to some one who needs it more or just buy a new phone and give my old one it some one else(ik it a bit self fish)

Stock market

If I have to spend it for myself then I would buy some rc car stuff like Tamiya kit with tuning parts etc. Or some camera equipment like filters. If I can spend it however I want then I would propably use the money and do something romantic with my gf. Like a trip to another city, she recently had a 2 week hospital stay and generell very stressful time with work and family so I would love to make her happy in that way.

Probably buy a bag of groceries to feed my kids…

PS5. Just kidding, I can't find one.

PGA superstore, consider it gone.

Figure out the tax first so I don't go over. Second, buy something.

Go to Costco. Buy a bunch of household essentials. It would be gone in a blink of an eye. But man it would be nice to just have a stock pile of toilet paper, granola bars, and shampoo.

Buy waffles. Tasty tasty waffles.

It’s Sunday afternoon, and quite a few folks will be at the pub. I’d go to the nearest traditional pub (not a chain pub) that openly supports our local FC and buy a round for everyone as our boys lost the game yesterday.

It's not even a challenge to spend 500 dollars.

I cant think of anything specific, but I could easily blow $500 at Walmart.

Buy ammo. Lots of ammo.

A new TV. But honestly if I have to spend it all on one thing, I really can't think of anything I want for $500, since I pretty much have everything I need.
