If I am the recipient of the $200/day off challenge, I would destress  by swimming laps in an outdoor pool, then have a couples massage with my hubbie in the afternoon and finish by eating a rib dinner at our favorite restaurant!

I work at home and also on our homestead, but would love to give my husband (who works 12hrs a day) off, and take him out somewhere special.  Even if it's just a long drive and a picnic. He manages a department responsible for making sure everyone is able to work from home, but he doesn't get to.  He deserves so much for all the stress he's dealing with right now.

The pandemic has caused me to rethink my living situation. I have decided to ask a very good friend to move in with me when he retires in August. He currently lives in another state. I already have a second bedroom but if I won some money I would use it to buy some furniture on Facebook Marketplace and decorate a masculine room for him. He will be 71 in June. I will be 64 in September. This living arrangement will help both of us financially.

If I were the luck one to win the $200. I would add a patio  and garden to our home. We have been in the process to moving from Atlanta to Myrtle Beach. We lost our only child at 24 years of age 2 years ago and we have decided to move closer to our family. This would give us funds to build a garden next to a patio in honor of our angel in heaven.

If I were given a day off and $200 to spend at Kroger, I would go on my bike to the beach down the street and relax and read a book and give thanks for staying healthy at my age. I would also give thanks for all my wonderful family and friends - that's where I like to do it while I hear the wave crashing along the beach. It's peaceful there.

If I was gifted with a day off and $200.  I would first have my husband take the day off work and I would pamper him, let him sleep in instead of having to get up at 5am for work, we would do things together maybe walk in the park, then go to a really nice steakhouse for dinner.   Go shopping and have him buy something really nice he's been wanting but didn't buy because we needed the money for a doctors bill.   It would just be a hubby day because he works so hard for us and never takes time for himself....

I would spend some of the money on new plants and work in my flower garden. Then relax with a good movie.

If I am the recipient of the $200/day off challenge I would give me myself and my virtual grands a day out of school and take a trip to a museum and lunch of their choice. Then I would treat myself to a spa for a couple hours..

That's a great idea. I would take my cousin to dinner and enjoy her company, she never gets to go out and enjoy herself. Her income is maxed out and there is no extra money for anything. I know I won't win the $200 but I still can take her someplace

for her to have a good dinner.

I would  love to do that for her.

It would be a nice family affair at the beach and enjoy myself ridding on the yacht taking pictures and just having fun.  Swimming at the motel enjoying family and friends.

A day all to myself and just relax and do nothing. Go to a motel and just relax and get plenty of rest. I do babysit for my cousins sometimes but I am in need of that much-needed break away from the babies, God knows I love them with all my heart but a much-needed break is needed. I would not give them up for all the Gold in China because I love them so much. 

God bless all of you.

I would pamper myself, a day at the spa, getting my nails done, go out to dinner, enjoy family and friends with masks on, and staying safe. This would make my day, since the panic I haven't been able to attend any outing, nor close connections with family and friends. There is not too much we can do with family and friends until we have put a cure to this panic. Everyone must stay safe doing these pandemic times. 

We have to-it's a must that we all stay safe doing these times as AARP explains. Stay safe people and be careful of getting close to others if not family members.

I would love to go on a long drive with a couple sister friends and have a nice lunch or dinner.  The pandemic has really interrupted our sister friend time,  and I miss that face to face connection so much.
