A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.

To qualify for a state pension, you have to have paid a certain amount to the tax office over the course of a lifetime. As someone whose mental state isn't up to being employed and hasn't been for quite a while, I'm certain to have a shortfall in that regard, so I'd probably deliberately give it to the taxman so that I might be better looked after in 20-25 years.
Lots of ifs, ands, buts and maybes have been missed out here, but in my case it might well be the best use of the money.
does buying investments count as spending?
Bitcoin, gold, silver, and/or other hard assets.
Paying off debt.
NFTs
Gold & ETFs
Put it in tax free saving accounts. Duh.
I don't have anything that I want that I can think of. Maybe a little carpet?
Inventing it all so nothing would be left over
Something like SGOV until I figure out what to do with it.
