B Natural answer

I think I'd start with somewhere quiet, maybe near the beach or in the mountains. After a lot of hard work, I'd want a few days to breathe and clear my head. Then I'd probably spend on , because mine is slow and it affects everything I do. I would also keep before I got tempted to buy random things. Winning money would be exciting, but I'd want it to make my life easier, not more complicated.
