A cup is 8oz, a pound is 16oz, 1 pound = 1.56 dollars. How is it possible to fit so many more dollars in a cup than this formula would suggest?
Use Canadian dollars.

Wow, lucky you!
Here's what you're going to do:
-
You're not going to tell anyone. Not your mum, dad, gf... Nobody.
-
You're going to buy yourself two new best friends: the first is the most white-collar solicitor on your area that deals with trusts and estates. Call them and tell them you've recently come into some money, and would like advice on setting up a trust for its management. Your second new best friend is a financial advisor (your solicitor might know one!), to whom you will ask how to set up a growth retirement plan for the next 20 years. Tell both of your two new best friends you want 25k to do with as you please. You can now tell people you've won 25k at the lottery, and do with the 25k as you please.
Remember: if you think you might not be able to handle your finances, there are good professionals out there who will do it for you.
Also remember: every dickhead will come asking for money (the ones asking you to put money into a business are the worst). You'll feel like an arse, but always play dumb - say you lost it all at a wild casino weekend.
