And yes you have to spend it all

Edit: There are a lot of little good things in these answers that I often ignore. Thanks everyone.

    Put it towards a stupid sounding investment scheme that will turn those 15 into 5 within the month

    I never had the income to do that. It sounds exciting. It’s like gambling except it’s considered classy instead of trashy.

      I would campaign for fifteen dollars to be written as 15$. The other way around makes no sense. Dollars is the unit, and you say “fifteen dollars” and not “dollars fifteen”. That we landed on the backwards convention is a travesty.

      Sure, 15$ wouldn’t get me far, but it’s a start!

      Super regional, remember learning 15$ in French class but using $15 everywhere else because I’m an anglophone. Personally, as someone else said, it’s a unit, totally makes sense treating it as such and I do tend to use iso currency codes when talking dollars because I’m Canadian, 40 USD is 54.75 CAD, 40 CAD is 29.23 USD, if I don’t specify that it makes things look way more expensive comparatively.

    IDK, probably go to the import store near my house and pick up some white rabbit milk candies to start. Then spend the rest on cheap snacks at the dollar store. However much it left, if it’s just change, probably throw downtown where I live because I can guarantee some homeless drug addict might scramble to pick it up.

    It depends on what I’m trying to maximize.

    If I just want the happiness spike ASAP, then I would just buy $15 worth of Magic cards, or maybe a booster pack or three, depending on the set.

    If I’m trying to maximize my overall happiness over any amount of time, I think spending $15 on something reusable, like a nice pair of socks or a hat would work out for me.

    If I want to maximize happiness in general, then spending it on someone else I care about does double duty. It makes someone else happy, and I get happiness from being involved in the process.

      Darn Tough socks on sale. Merino wool, so you dont have to wash them every time if you use wool wash and air then out (and don’t wear then without shoes (dirt)), and a lifetime warranty. Now that’s a nice $15 pair of socks.

    Fellow lemmings, I, for one, would spend that 15 dollars on a copy of the “Barbie” movie on Blu-ray and digital, because nothing would make me happier.
