I will first give charity to the extent of 10%. Then I will buy a gift to my granddaughter. I will buy something to eat for my family. Rest of the money(whatever is it) will be kept by me for future expnses. Giving is my pleasure.

I will be more happier to goive charity of 10% of $ 200. Then

Chris00721 · ‎07-31-2021

I'd get my eyelashes/eyebrows done (about $75) and tip the aesthetician the rest of the $200

RobertaT749475 · ‎10-24-2021

I would treat my self to a day going to lunch and save the rest of my $200.

KenH374672 · ‎07-31-2021

Everyday is a holiday

RobertaT749475 · ‎10-24-2021

Amen

With 200.00 to spend for the day off, I would go to the JeJu spa and get a body scrub, a facial, a message and foot reflexology equaling 150.00. I would go to a vegetarian restaurant and spend 30.00 and then, I would find four homeless people and give each of them 5.00 each--sharing my blessings with them. What a wonderful day off and an awesome blessing.

Chris00721 · ‎04-04-2021

I would go to a favorite dine out restaurant outside and leave rest for a tip for waitress and server staff.

RobertaT749475 · ‎04-04-2021

I would do the same. I always leave the waitress a very good tip because they only make $2.13 and hour. They need the tip money. Bless you, Chris00721.

I WOULD HAVE MY HAIR STYLED INSTEAD OF JUST CUT TO SAVE MONEY. THEN I WOULD GO TO MY FAVORITE SPECIAL ANTI-BELLUM AUTHENTIC RESTAURANT IN FRUITLAND PARK WHERE I LIVE, THE ROSE GARDEN FOR A SPECIAL GOURMET

DINNER WITH MY SON.

RobertaT749475 · ‎04-04-2021

That sounds great. Wish you the best.

I would get my Communications Director for my company, Aladay Mobile Media and take her to lunch and go on a journey to promote our new weekly podcast series where we ask the burning question, What's Going on in Your Corner of the World?

That would be an awesome way to start our new project...we plan to do things via a telecommute basis but we also plan to take the production on the road at some point....We came upon this decision because social media has afforded us opportunities to communicate with people around the world and we are finding that even though they may speak a different language, eat different foods, they are people also. They also have the same concerns as we do in the USA. GMO Technology encroaching into the food supply, governments becoming to overbearing, the right to bear arms and free speech being impinged. So our thought is this...how can we show people It really is a Small World and we all have to share it...What makes this project so exciting is the fact I'm a 60-something and she is a 20-something...

That said here is to hoping we capture a massive audience and become successful...

BTW...GREAT question

BonnieA313514 · ‎03-31-2021

I would definitely get away for a massage and facial. I haven't had either in a couple of years and it would feel so nice.

RobertaT749475 · ‎10-24-2021

I need a day to my self just to relax and do nothing.

BonnieW539373 · ‎03-31-2021

Take a weekend trip to the mountains or the beach!!

duranza · ‎03-31-2021

As a retiree I enjoy my free time to do some gardening, but with the $200 I would buy some plants to beautify my shared cul de sac in our neighborhood.

rf2425 · ‎03-31-2021

I would enjoy being able to go for a relaxing trail run with a new pair of running shoes.

CynthiaR607096 · ‎03-31-2021

I would find an Air BNB or similar, take my kids, their dogs and my 2 month old granddaughter and cook, play board games and relax. We would need a pool, we all swim and wide open space to run with the dogs. We are all vaccinated but we’ve had little time to be together and my son starts residency in another state soon so we all need uninterrupted time together.

williamg1232 · ‎03-31-2021

I would take my 2 daughters to the boundary waters canoe area. and relish in the natural beauties it has to offer

s8488l · ‎03-31-2021

I would take a road trip to Homer for weekend, its beautiful views of ocean and good food and just a peaceful place to go.

DianneA899371 · ‎03-31-2021

If I had a day off I would wake up early, do yoga and then drink coffee on my porch. I would then take a walk in a local park and volunteer at, or donate to, the local food bank. I would use the money to make a delicious, homemade meal and rent a movie, or watch one of my favorite shows. I would round out my beautifully, slow paced day with a lavender, epsom salt bubble bath before going to bed early!

MiniB688827 · ‎03-31-2021

Would spend a day at the mall alone and use the money there.

RobertaT749475 · ‎10-24-2021

Not all the money, maybe a little shopping not to go broke, save some.

RobertaT749475 · ‎03-31-2021

A day out would be nice. I would love that just to be out and enjoy my self.

KathrynD304639 · ‎03-31-2021

It would be so nice to spend a night away in an Air B&B or a motel near the ocean, just to breathe in the slt air and walk the beach wouod be devine.

RobertaT749475 · ‎03-31-2021

My 2 cousins are adorable and sweet, they are 1/2 years and 2 years. I would like to take them out to eat and then to the park for a full day out. To me that would be great.
