Answer Me This

So what would you do if you suddenly were given 20,000$? Not that this is happening to me. I guess I just wish it was happening to me. And I suppose I am thinking what I will do once I start making regular money, you know, with the job and what not. And we are still waiting for my dad's estate to clear probate. It will NOT be 20,000! More likely like 3000$. But still...
Rules. You can only spend 10,000$ on debt, otherwise you must spend the money as you wish.
Want to hear what I would do?
First. A different car. Not even a new car. Just a smaller car. We have undergrown our minivan. With just Bald Man, I and Little Man, the Minivan is serious overkill and we die everytime we have to put gas in it. I would choose a used Toyota or Honda sedan, (4 door). Not too many miles on it, but not new, because I just don't want to spend THAT much money on it.
Second. A laptop. Probably one of these. I have a Gateway desktop and it has been virtually problem free. But I am longing for one of these.
Third. A new camera. Specifically, a Canon Rebel. This is a serious wish for me. If I were forced to choose, I would probably get this before I got a laptop. Really, that is how much I want it. I have LOVED my Canon Powershot. I would have never thought of myself as much of a phototog before, but the quality of my pictures has improved so much with my Powershot, I have dreams that bumping up my camera quality would improve my pictures even more. And I think that dream isn't out of my reach.
Lastly, a trip to Hawaii. Bald Man and I were too poor to have a real first honeymoon. And there is nothing I would rather do than lounge somewhere on a beach with my honey for a week.
Your turn! Tell me what you would do!
