Imagine you were saving up for a sheitel $2000 and you won. What would you do with the $2000 that you have put aside ?

Keep saving it for my future DIL's sheitel!

keep it in savings for future simchos (bar mitsva/tefilin or weddings) or to buy a home.....

I'd probably give some of it to tzedakah as an act of thanks and keep the rest in savings.

go on a shopping spree!!! I wish! (but in reality I would save it because in four years you'll need another sheitel, and who knows withing four years there might be another need for 2000 dollars and what a relief to know you have it!)

I would also save it. I think the question should be something along the lines of: what would you purchase for $2000 if you were not allowed to save the money or invest it?

Buy Israel Bonds.

Honestly, it would probably just get swallowed back up into the daily expenses budget.
