If someone gave you $50,000 tax free today, what would you do with it?

Pay off some debts and give at least 10% to the church. Maybe put a big vacation in there too.

I'd pay off a few minor bills. I'd probably travel of Africa and spend a large percentage of it there.

??? What taxes DO Canadians pay? Here we have taxes on everything, including a wide and varied assortment of income and sales taxes. Too bad we're too :cheesy: (duhr!) to go with a flat-tax, such as a national sales tax, period. Oh well! :roll:
