If you don't spend the entire $1000 in 20 minutes, you lose it. How would you spend it quickly?

I would probably put in in a savings bond so that I can see my money grow. I may by my fiance a new car something that is better on gas, or I would split it amongst a few people.

I think I would pick up a jewellery as its worth it.Its an investment not like buying other stuff like clothes or furniture or electronics.These things when you pay a high price and buy it after some time the value goes down where as gold will fetch you a higher price when you want to sell it.With gold prices shooting up I think it will be worth every pie.

This is one of the easier questions I have answered on here. $1000 is really not that much to spend in 20 minutes anymore. I would go straight to walmart and buy a nice LCD TV. Easy way to spend a grand. In fact any electronics store such as Best Buy you can drop a thousand dollars in absolutely no time.

Well let me start off by saying that I am not that big of a shopper,I guess let me ask if we can spend the money online?Most likely I would grab my fiance and start buying stuff up like crazy for our wedding which we are planning for late next year, or early in the following year,either that or I would start buying up stuff that I know me and fiance need or want,I guess it would just depend on the mood I am in when I am handed the one thousand dollars.

Thats pretty easy...I have been eyeing a new Luis Vuitton bag, I would have to put a little with it but that would be fine with me! When do I get to do it?

I would get on to my laptop or to the nearest computer immediately or as quickly as possible. Then I would get on to a travel website. Next I would plan and book a flight from London to Cape Town and on to Mauritius, then back to London. Next I would order travel guide books for South Africa and Mauritius.

I would purchase dog and cat supplies for our local non kill animal shelters. They work on such a tight budget that $1000 would be a great wind fall for them.

I would go to my favortie clothing store and run over to the suits, I would rush over to my sizes and pull off all the styles I liked then I would try and hurry back to the register with and have them ring everything up before my time ran out.

I'd go to my favorite computer shop and buy upgrades for my PC. My PC is starting to act old. More games and applications are making my PC run like a turtle. It's putting too much strain on my system and I actually have a list of parts that amounts to $1,000.

If I have the $1000 in 20 minutes, I will go to buy a digital camera! If I have rest of that money, I would subscribe to a charity.

It is very easy to spend $1000 in 20 minutes. If I get $1000 or more, I am going to buy a multifunctional run machine . I think health is important , comparing with others . In my opinion, money can not buy health, that you have more money is not equal to that you are healther.

I take a flight to my favorite place. stay there for one or two days and will come back. On my country 1000$ is a huge amount. So i can make a complete trip plan from that amount.

Ever watch the show supermarket sweep? Thats exactly how I would spend the $1000 in 20 minutes... I would start at the front of the store, cart in hand and run around the store like a bat out of hell snatching up expensive meats and non-perishable goods! People would look at me like Im crazy but hey...What would be a better way to spend $1000 quickly then buying groceries which you buy on a weekly basis anyway?
