You're given $20,000 USD (or the equivalent in your local currency) to spend, but anything still left by the end of the day you lose for good. What are you spending it on?

      I do not understand that, in my country abortions are free

      (ok, not actually free. You need to pay 15 euro for the blood test, a 30 euro tax, 2 euro for the hospital parking fee and around 10 euro to buy the painkiller or antibiotics after the operation)

        Dude, I wish I lived in a civilized country. My cancer treatment would have cost somewhere in the range of $5 million without insurance. Healthcare is a human right

          Dude, I just got the post-exposure rabies vaccine. Was four trips to the ER at $125 USD co-pay a pop… however, without insurance, I learned it can be as much as like $15k if you don’t qualify for assistance and/or Medicaid.

          We really need to take to the streets.

      Technically you’re using it to buy a house, so I guess that qualifies as spending it?
