If I got 50 dollars I would put it in the bank and keep saving it up. I might buy something with part of it. I could also save it for emergency money.  As I have noted you can see I would at least put some of it in the bank. Or maybe use it for emergencies. Accordingly atlas because I could also spend it on my family.  I challenge you to spend all of the money one one thing and tell what it would be in the comments.
