What is the best way to spend ten dollars?

Question

Imagine ... you have got only ten dollars. What would you do?

Answer 1

Spend some of it on bus fare to the nearest unemployment office.

Answer 2

Well, it is different if it is my only ten dollars and just another ten dollars.

Considering the context is my only ten dollars, then I go to the grocery store. First, I check if I need polish for my shoes (assuming I have shoes) and buy the smallest can. Then I check out the cheapest soap (assuming I have a source of clean water and a place to wash). At this point I have the basic tools to make a presentable presence at job interviews. Next I buy some food to help sustain me. If I have access to water and hopefully something to help me cook, then I get some potatoes, carrots, some greens (not iceberg lettuce or celery, there is too little nutritional value), and maybe an apple and orange or two. These will keep me at least minimally comfortable with the most bulk and nutrition for the scarse few bucks. Now I go out and try to get a job so I can earn what I need for the rest of my life.

Answer 3

Umm I'd buy an ice cream cone with like 20 scoops.

Answer 4
