18-Year-Old Woman Asks Netizens How to Spend ₹5K on Something 'Ridiculous', Draws Hilarious Reactions

In a world where most teens are advised to save money or invest wisely, one 18-year-old Redditor had a different plan — to blow ₹5,000 on something “ridiculous.” And the internet, as always, couldn't stop reacting.

Posted under a popular Indian subreddit, the post titled “Have 5K and I want to spend it on something ridiculous” quickly caught attention.

The original poster, who identified herself as a female, 18, wrote, “I have 5K. I want to spend it on something that my parents would never buy me. Cuz no point in spending it on something that they would buy. Btw I’ll soon be going to college.”

Naturally, Reddit users flooded the comments section with hilarious suggestions.

While some slammed the idea as immature, others offered genuinely funny and oddly creative suggestions on how the college-goer could spend her money.

One unimpressed user remarked in Hindi, “Kuch bhi post karte hai log (People post just about anything these days)."

A more responsible commenter added in with some real advice, “Save it, you’d remember it when you’re (very often) broke in college.”

But then came the true gems — humorous takes that turned the post into internet gold.

“Mujhe de do… kisi stranger ko bina baat paise dena bhi ridiculous hi hota (Give it to me… Giving money to a stranger for no reason is also ridiculous),” one user quipped.

Another Redditor dropped an idea that could easily pass as a quirky YouTube challenge: “Buy 50 cheap plastic trophies and award them to random strangers for things like Best Walking Posture or Most Mysterious Eyebrows… and video the whole thing. It will be really awesome.”

The thread has since become a Reddit highlight for its mix of sarcasm and strangely sincere life advice. It has received more than 300 comments and gone viral.
