But if I had another 10k after that I would use it to fly to a 3rd world country and buy a factory to make buttons. I have always loved buttons and use to work at a button factory here in Champden but when the factory pulled out in the 70s I have been unemployed ever since.

I started teaching after a long career in the business world. I love what I do! I would set up a scholarship for average students who wanted to major in business. $10,000 probably would not be enough, but it would be a start. I am a teacher in a Title 1 high school.

#4 New Windows on my little house (3k)

I would tithe part out it out of gratefulness to God placing it in my life. And I would put the rest in Silver Eagle coins to protect and potentially multiply my money. Interesting question!
