Well, we can eliminate "Student loans forgiven" for the vast majority of the crowd here, but the other five could still spur some interesting conversation...

(12,132 posts)I mean, I grew up in Texas and hard shell Taco Bell style tacos were all I ever knew. Even making them at home I still made them with standard ground beef, lettuce cheese and maybe some picante sauce. Sour cream too.
But then I finally tried one of those little taco stands that makes them with 2 soft corn tortillas. I've been eating tacos al pastor 2 or 3 times a week for lunch ever since. When I'm not eating them I think about eating them. It's just shredded pork, hot sauce and diced onions and a little cilantro.
I'm angry at myself for not trying them sooner.
I could easily and happily get them free for the rest of my life.
But until i win that button press, I'll also happily pay a little over six bucks for 4 of them and a horchata.

I will pm you about the taco place near me.
Just the photos of the tacos, soups, etc will make you drool...

(25,848 posts)I'm currently retired and in amazingly good health. I'm not THAT fond of tacos. My utility costs are remarkably low. And I wouldn't mind replacing my 2004 Honda Civic with something newer, but I'm a dream car kind of person.
If I could somehow get the one year of paid vacation so that I could spend a year travelling the world, that's what I'd do. I took my first cruise a year and a half ago, and I really want to take many more. But of course, money is an issue. So some kind of account that I can access to pay for travel would be nice.

(17,302 posts)The dream car is tempting but on the two occasions when I've owned a new car all I did was obsess about it: rock chips, scratches in parking lots, how much it's depreciating.
I'd prefer to be cruising all over the world. Perhaps staying in a particularly appealing location for a few weeks or a month.

(2,768 posts)I imagine the money saved could be put towards buying the dream car, the tacos, retirement a year early or paying off the loans. It won't buy the 6 years of good health, but I could probably get a Gym membership or a personal trainer or something to help push that whole deal along.
So, free utilities for 500 Alex!

(855 posts)Student loans are long since paid. Retirement is looming so vacation can wait. Not quite old (or ill) enough for the health one to be long enough to attract. I assume I have to pick today and not in 20 years. Tacos? I don't think so. That's just silly. Cars are just a means to an end as far as I'm concerned. I don't even have a dream car. So that leaves the free utilities for life as the best alternative for me.
So, now that I've done all of that, where do I find these buttons?

(3,275 posts)I've never had student loans and I have always had great health. I will take the one year of paid vacation. I would write a great book while I was traveling the world. Then sell it for lots of money and buy my dream car. Meet and fall in love with a chef who makes amazing Tex Mex food. Then we would move into a lovely solar powered environmental friendly home.
