And yes you have to spend it all

Edit: There are a lot of little good things in these answers that I often ignore. Thanks everyone.

Hmm. I am not convinced I can be much happier for $15 but a coffee for me, split a breakfast sandwich with my husband in the little Cuban cafe near me. Or buy gas and a diet coke and go by myself, alone, to the beach, that is such a relaxing activity.

I don't think I'd be happy if all my savings were reduced to $15.

Buy some games on discount. I can easily get Fallout 4, or about 7-10 other games on steep discount. PC gaming is the best.

Turn it into a roll of quarters and fuck myself

Probably pay for whatever activity I can afford with 15$ to spend time with my partner. Love her to bits and enjoy every minute I spend with her.

15 $1 dollar coins stashed around the house for me to stumble upon later.

Taco Bell most likely.

Good chocolate.

[โ€“] ikidd@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Pound of good coffee.

[โ€“] Kachajal@lemmy.ml 4 points 8 months ago

What a cool question, actually.

In my current situation? Probably a coffee date with someone new.

In a hypothetical "blank slate" scenario? Some easy way to play music. An mp3 player or something among those lines.

Alternatively - I could absolutely purchase a used dumb phone for that amount of money, as well as free calls within network for a year (in my country).

  • Convert it into 1,500 pennies
  • Fashion a slingshot from a balloon, tube, and some tape.
  • Have fun shooting cans, balloons, people, etc.

Downvote me all you want but I'd buy $15 of Bitcoin then wait a few years. So far I have been immensely happy with every single one of my BTC purchases and I don't think that's going to change any time soon. Whatever amount I buy now will be the same % of the total supply (21 million coins) in 5 or 10 years time which is more than I can say about pretty much anything else.
