What would you do with it? You can spend it on anything you want, but there are a couple rules:

1. Money is not to be used for retirement/stocks/investment, or any other "responsible" use.
2. If you choose traveling/vacation, you must go alone. Max time on the road is 2 weeks.
3. Assume there's no significant other to influence your spending.



I think I would buy a motorcycle or jetski.



oh, and ibthookersandblow

Trip to some far off island, hire two sexy models to do a few photo shoots with and sell prints to consumers. Maybe a new lens or flash in the budget.

already got the motorcycle and the jet ski

i'd probably buy a few more guns (compact pistol, probably a SIG...a 12 gauge Remington Wingmaster...an AR-15 carbine...and some sort of highly accurized centerfire rifle, probably built on a .223 or a .22-250, or maybe a .243 or 6mm PPC.

I'd buy a couple of guitar amps--a 6L6 based, class AB amp (probably some sort of Fender), and something EL-84 based, single-ended Class A. I'd also get an acoustic guitar, a hollowbody electric, and a Fender Telecaster.

All of that would pretty much tear up $5000, even if I bought a lot of it used.

Unfortunately, my experience has been that if you are at the point where you could drop $5000 on stuff like this and not care, you don't have time to get any use out of it all.

and the rest on redoing my kitchen.
