@AARPTeri OK...I’ll go first! In the morning I would get up with my youngest son, who is a senior in high school, and make him his favorite breakfast of eggs, sausage and toast; before he heads off to school or Zoom. He usually just grabs a granola bar. Secondly, I would head north to my daughter’s college, pick her up; and take her to her favorite nearby sub shop for lunch. Finally, I would invite my oldest son (who just got his own apartment) out to have dinner with us. My husband would light up the grill for chicken and we’d have chicken/shrimp fettuccine Alfredo...one of their favorites. The $200 would more than cover the cost of the meals and I would get to spend time with my four favorite people!

I would take my wife for a scenic ride along the NH coast and stop at our favorite seafood restaurant for lobster rolls! We would stay in the car and watch the waves while enjoying our meal and spending time away from our home. A pandemic freedom day!

If I received a windfall of $200 and had a day off, I would go to the fabric store. I would purchase bolts of fleece fabric in 4 colors Yellow, Maroon, Royal Blue, and a color appropriate for a man. As founder of The Yellow Rose-Strong Oak Society, LLC (a nonprofit), I would then cut the fabric in 1 1/4 yard pieces and take 1/2 of it to have it fabric embroidered appropriately: Yellow - Yellow Rose (Women 85+); Blue - Blue Diamond Society (Men & Women 80-84); Maroon - Antioch Baptist Church North (members on the sick list); and Appropriate color for men 85+ Strong Oak Society. Finally, I would tie two matching pieces of fabric together to make blankets for these designated groups.

I would take the day and go somewhere with my family. Make a new happy memory with them with a active outing outside the isolation and stress from the restrictions we all live in now.

$200? I would make it a day for a road trip that would entail shopping at local family owned businesses. Discovering new places, whether it's a small retailer or eatery. Giving back to those trying to make it in this pandemic world we're living in.

I would take my sister to get her hair done and take her out to lunch. Since the pandemic, she hasn't gotten her hair done and she needs to get out and get some pampering!

Spa day! Haircut, mani, pedi - and give some good tips to those making me pretty! If there is anything left - I shall have an adult beverage!

Since my husband of nearly 52 years passed away in November 2019, every day has been a "ME" day in as much as I can do whatever I please.

I would take myself and the $200 to Athens, TX to the Henderson County Foodbank and see if they could use my help for the day. I know they can use the money!

I am having to move out of my apartment this month because the rent has gone up $251 in 3 years. I would take the day and the $200 to spend a much needed day exploring areas and less expensive places to live. With $200 I would have enough for travel expenses to be able to drive to an area that would be much more affordable.

I would take the day and travel around to the places we are considering to retire within the next few years.

I would drive the 2 1/2 hours to see my kids in Chicago and get carry-out food to celebrate this longed-for reunion. 😍 It's been 15 months since I've been able to hug my son. Have only seen my daughter twice during that time. Now that I'm fully vaccinated, I will risk driving out of state AFTER self-quaranting for 14 days so that I do not expose them to any virus. I CAN'T WAIT ❣️

I would go get my Daughter who I haven't been able to spend much time with during the pandemic and have lunch and go get mani/pedis. Very relaxing!

I would be very grateful and thankful. Take my 82 year old mother to her favorite restaurant (Red Lobster).1🥰

I would use some of it to help our restaurant workers who are out of a job, treats for my dog, and some new reading material for myself. I will spend the day with my dog at the beach and just read and relax.
