You get $10K to spend at any brick-and-mortar store (not online). Where are you going?

I’d spend it all on really nice suits. $10,000 worth of most things would be more than I needed. A few killer suits would be a great addition and last me forever.

Used electric vehicle. At that price, it's probably one of those neighborhood electrics, or a badly used Leaf, or a really souped-up ebike, but we don't badly need a second car, and the supply of small used pickup trucks has pretty much vanished.

Bill Stewart @billstewart.bsky.social

You also need the U-Haul for the detour to the bookshelf store. I'm no longer doing paper books in quantity, and even after the Great Bookshelf purge I've still got enough books in the attic to fill the current shelves 1-2x over.
