Hypothetical questions are like lying to your brain.

$50,000 net income after taxes won very randomly in a Pepsi bottle cap contest. What would you do with it?

Finally go to all of the places I've been wanting to go to meet all of the amazing people I've had the priveledge of meeting through online means.

That was a mouthful.

Probably go to Mexico first.

Pay off all debt, establish a year-off fund, and if needed immediately, deplete the year off fund.

Then I'd let the money sit for 6 months while I pondered this question.

"Buy shit" is not on the list.

pay off minor debts, family vacation, dump remainder in kids' college funds.

I'd love to say that $50,000 would pay off our debt. We have two car payments and a house payment. Because our income can totally handle the debt, I would just invest it somehow. And ponder the question more; maybe make a bucket list and prioritize it.
If we had no debt, we would invest part of it, then finish our 50-state traveling. And move from the suburbs to a midtown house because we'll be in Omaha for awhile (and if not, then we'll definitely be coming back to Offutt AFB in the near or distant future).
