You wake up and somebody hands you $20,000!!!! You are NOT allowed to pay bills, invest, or save the money. What are you buying or where are you going???? (this does not have to relate to the fire-service in anyway)(unless you want it too lol)
Buy my own set of gear including kevlar/pbi coat and pants hazmat/ structural boots extrication and turnout gloves truck belt EMS instrument pack window hammer resqrench and rope for bail out reasons. The leftover money would go towards lights and accessories for the truck

I wouldn't buy or go anywhere with the free cash...
Spending it (if your are already in debt would be foolish) and the reason the country is so messed up. Paying down your debt or planning for the future would the the wise thing to do with an unexpected winfall.
The stipulation on the question was you couldn't save it, pay bills or invest it. the point of the question is to see what you would do outside of real-world constraints.
It's not a question about what you would actually do with an unexpected windfall.
