The situation is this: you’ve just found a bag containing $100k (or your local equivalent) in cash. You, being the law-abiding Persephoneer I know you are, bring it to the police. The police, after conducting a thorough investigation, tell you, “Finders keepers.” It’s legally your money; let’s say it just dropped out of the sky. No one’s missing it.
What do you do with that money?

Pay off my debts, put some in savings, go on a good but not too crazy trip, and use the rest as a down payment on a building and fix it up to live in/be a local arts center.
Make a significant dent in my mom’s mortgage. Pay off my best friend’s school loans. Not take the job I’m thinking about taking; take a contract job instead, that way I can make money while I plan my exciting 4 month worldwide adventure. End job. Go on said worldwide adventure. Buy lots of pretty things on said adventure and send them back so I don’t have to schlep them with me. Come back completely broke.
PAY OFF STUDENT LOANS AND BUY NEW SHOES.
Did anybody see me find the bag? Because if not, I’m going to the police with that money. In fact, what money? I have no idea what you’re talking about.
