Pay school bills and invest the rest.
Perhaps purchase a couple of keyboards as well.

Yeah I forgot about this. I'd definitely be getting a Model M, something with MX Brown switches, something with MX Red switches, and a Topre. Probably would get a Das Keyboard with blank MX Blue switches as well.

I'd buy turtles, lots of turtles. I would train them for days on end. Making them drag more and more weight. Then I would start a turtle racing league and charge $5 entrance fee. I would also take 10% of all gambling wins to allow hidden underground turtle racing gambling to go on. I would make millions. MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA.

Buy a car, keep the rest for school/emergency fund. Not much beyond that.

You may want to consider that IRN-BRU isn't as easy to get here.
Ha. Irn bru is impossible to get in Japan. I drank the last can my mum sent over a while ago and I truly believe that it was the last can in the country. The Canadian supermarket "Metro" does sell irn bru. It's a bit pricey but worth it.

We would use (probably) half on our mortgage and do a mortgage modifications. We would use some of it for home improvement, some of it for investment.
I'd have to feed my new addiction. I would support my local record store (Rumor Has It in Niles, Michigan) and go on a $2000 vinyl shopping spree!!!

Firstly I'd think 'what's the exchange rate?'. Then I'd go on a week long booze, women and partying frenzy.
The rest I'd just fritter away.
Sensible answer. Build and set up a Lotus or Porsche 968 CS for track days/sprints. That's my plan anyway, it would just bring it forward a bit.

-Lifetime GTP Premium
-A car, specifically a 90s MX-5 (I don't have to worry about the gasoline expenses)
-PSN plus
-PS3 games (obviously)
-Build a PC with proper specs
-PC games
And that is all and considering what games I would like to buy, it'll be roughly $4000
And I would save the rest in my bank account

I wouldn't need a sound system. My navigator on my real life China motorcycle tour has the English name Slash. He has that name for a reason. I'd just bring him and his guitar.
I'd try to visit a few GTP members in the Asia and Australasia areas but I doubt it'd be very convenient for more than 4 people living together for a year.
Well...OK. Fine. You guys can each get a 50cc moped to tag along on and a space on the roof rack for your luggage for a price of US$1000 but I'm only acting as a support bus. The bed and kitchen are for me, my lady and my cabin crew!!!!

With $30,000:
1. Pay $5,000 towards school loans.
2. Set aside $10,000 to pay for a whole year of bills (mortgage and utilities)
3. Use the remaining amount to take some time off from work to attend the LeMans 24 hour race, attend the Goodwood Festival of Speed or attend at least one Japan Super GT Car Championship race, preferably a race in Suzuka.
I could care less about a car at this point in my life right now since I plan to keep my current ride for 2-3 more years.

I'd save 15k, spend 3 grand on a nice vacation, spend 2 grand on stuff, and use the rest to buy a cheap car and pay for petrol and insurance.
