For me if I get a 100dollars today I will embark on a little project here in katsina Nigeria to help the needy....

I feel so sad when I see them going house to house , street to street to beg for food

All to survive ......

Nothing is too small

Success is making me the world better than the way you met it

That’s my drive for my success story .....

It pains me also to see little children begging around for food to eat, and it is so thoughtful of you to actually think this way.

It so disheartening ....

You are right. The life i saw in the inns of the rural community is so disheartening. I'm driven by your purpose, i pray you win

Oh yes and they are so many in the Northern part of Nigeria ..

They deserve the aids of you & I. This dying world can be healed by you & I via this purpose

The rate of poverty in Nigeria especially the northern part is very alarming.... We all have to come together n do something about it.
I wonder why we have so many receivers but few givers.. it's just sad.

I cry inside when a young child comes to beg from me, i always feel as I'm just given privilege by GOD not to be among them, that gives me motivation to always help them because they are the real needy, your idea is amazing

Wow
That would be a really nice initiative.

Helping has always been my thing and I'm glad you're considering doing this for a community.

Wish you all the best.....

Thanks dear ....

I always say there’s more blessings to giving than receiving

You mission is genuine and needs support.
Keep it steeming hot.

Good luck

It's disheartening but nothing brings me greater pleasure than the smile on their faces.

I pray you win.

I hope you win this contest! I hope you will use the SBD for them :'( Contact me if ever, I will send you 1 SBD. I know it's little but Big comes from little. God bless you!

Oh thank you very much

They are suffering but still laugh.

Way to go @oyinoza. That will be great if its achieved.

Way to go @oyinoza, this is a good initiative

Am really impressed, success follow u

I served in the north and i know how poor that place is. Nothing is too small and you are right about that

I have seen first hand what this kids go through,I can't help but shed tears each time I see them go round begging for food, I keep wondering how there next meal is gonna come , I have been doing the little I could, and honestly this is very thoughtful of you. may God bless you . I pray you win

Thanks dear ...

Wish you well friend

The rate of poverty in the northern part is drastic and we need people like you to make that difference,,,,, i hope you achieve your good aims

So painful.. 😔

It so good to see so much joy in such hardship.

Heart warming 😌

I think for me the best way to spend $100.00 would be to use it as an investment in steemit. Whether the price goes up, or continues to go down, does not really matter at this point. With the $100.00 investment even at a straight 1 for 1 ratio to Steem Power, that would mean an additional 100SP on my account. That would mean I would be able to give a few more two cent worth votes and comments to new users, and not quite so new users.

It would allow me to spread the news that there are people that are willing to help new users get a leg up and a nice start with a few votes and comments from sincere individual that believe in helping a new user, not just giving a handout and then moving on to the next outstretched hand.

People need and want engagement, yes as new users they also want a reward, but they are mostly looking for an environment that they can "share" a little about themselves, or their life, or their art, or their talent. They may start wanting that "reward", but then they see the groups of "individuals" that are enjoying each others company and camaraderie and begin to want some of that, suddenly the seeking of a handout, has become a hand looking to lend a helping hand to another new users.

So you see that $100.00 soon travels and comforts a lot of new users. After all that if you should pick me as a winner, please pass the winnings onto @newbiegames. Also you may want to check them out, and think about changing one of the tags to #newbiegames, you do not "charge" people to play, and we at #newbiegames and #newbieresteemday believe in a helping hand not a give me your vote/resteem/follow, and comment hostage holding hand.

Wow, what a comment, @bashadow. And how generous of you.

I came here to play, but there’s no way in the world I could top your comment.
So even if you don’t win, you’ve got my 100% vote

And you get my 100% vote for being an awesome sport ;) @simplymike
This is the true steemit spirit

You never cease to amaze me @bashadow! Thank you for everything you do! :) You get a newbie nickel, just for being so awesome!!! This one is courtesy of @danielsaori! And thanks @simplymike for pointing me to such a great effort by @bashadow!!!

Congratulations, this newbie nickel is sponsored by #steemitcommentchallenge this week!

Thanks for your comment @bashadow :) I do try to upvote each comment here so people gets also a reward. I don't get the part that you said "charge" for playing? Do you mean to play in this contest? There's no charge if this is what you mean. Regarding the choosing of the winner, I do not chose them personally. As you can see in the spreadsheet I use steempicker to select the comment that has more votes, the more engaged and a random winner. Is that what you mean?

Mandatory vote, you don't, most people if they play they will vote, but demanding one, I am still not sure about. Mandatory resteem you didn't require, I don't think it is right. Yes most people that play in games and contest do resteem, but some do not want their blog page cluttered with other peoples post. So when I say "charge" those are the two things that jump out at me, I have seen contest that now say 100% up vote required to play, that is fine, but they will never get me to play in their game. I am a very firm believer in it is your "vote" do with it what you want. New users are trying to get a leg up, most are not looking for a handout. But they only have so many votes to cast a day. So when pages or people demand that a vote be used, I see that as charging them. After all it is vote that carries the reward, not the comment.

From my point of view if people wants to vote my contest is fine, they gate curator rewards too, it means it interests them and that's why you have voting power that refills. If they resteem the post i'm grateful. Actually asking for an upvote goes against steemit rules so you shouldn't ask for votes to participate. Anyway I feel this rule makes no sense because you are doing nothing wrong asking for a vote to join your game...it's like paying an entrance for a show or playing a slit machine, you play for playing it. Btw, I included one of your hashtags in the last question :)

To have a little more SP! Yes, this is definitely one great way to spend $100.

The best way to spend 100$ today for me is to invest for daily business .example buying and sell so i can make a profit not to loose the money . because is very important to invest in your future before living like a king .. Reason is that what you see as a need now may become a want if you cant take a little time to get over your feelings ..thanks for the great question @thepassenger i hope people can learn from this

This is an inspirational short write up and also it's an advise on how to live life in the investment industries

Thanks for your comment

All up votes I get from my friends I don't use any bot. Pls cheak once again.

ok, i'll take it into consideration, thanks for your clarification ;)

Thank you for understanding

For me, the best way to spend $100 today is to invest it on steemit. This has been my dream.
Here is a conversation between I and a friend on steemit during my chat with him on whatsApp, @pasaift. I didn't know I was going to see this question here today.

🤞

This is my next plan once I sell my generator😁

My instincts say buy more coins.
My brain says clothing would be nice.
My gut would def. choose food!

haha it's hard to decide ;) long term the coins will grow those 100, but if you don't eat there's nothing to do haha thanks!

The question seems disturbing, Spend or Invest. These are two different words. Spends means to have fun while invest means to get profit.
So as per my own imagination, A short trip or picnic to a snowy mountain for skitting will for sure give me fun while contrary to this, Online marketing for any poduct is the best way of investing $100.

You are right! in my life until 2 years ago I was just spending and spending, now i spend less and invest more hehe thanks for joining!

in my situation a good gifts for my Gf , mother and sisters

Print a T-shirt with a steemit logo, hand out to people who have not joined in steemit, get them to join steemit with a T-shirt gift ,

I follow you, and I resteem your post, this is not for begging, but so many participate in your contest.

That's a good idea! And the steemit logo is pretty nice! Regarding the contest, you guys decide who win by giving upvotes to the comments and engaging in them and there's also a daily random winner, i do not decide who wins, i just give upvotes to those who participate :)

Ok. Thank you very much

For me,I would use it for my training in catering because I've been looking forward to some cash because I need to start learning so i will have something for a living in future

Great investment! Good luck to you!

The best way to spend 100$ today for me is to invest it in the expansion of my organic skincare business. As it yields, I will look out for quick paying investments that i can put it into as well because I have a dream of being a philanthropist- reaching out to people and I can only do this with money. Thanks @thepassenger for this question.

that's interesting! Good luck with your business! You should consider joining mannabase for a extra future income that you can spend :)

One hundred dollars is a great way to get your foot in the door and start a habit of investing that could very well lead to a bountiful harvest down the road.
The best investment you can do with only $100 is to invest in yourself through some online courses, like Udemy, that will build skills that will take you further in your current job, prepare you for the next job, or help you to start a side hustle. Building these skills will make you more valuable, thus increase your earning capacity, which will result in more money to invest on a regular basis.

investing in education is always great! Nowadays there's also a lot of free information if you know where to look :) thanks for joining!

For me i would get a nice potable phone..... That what i really need at the moment

I could actually make good use of a $100 right now. I'm preparing to write an exam, but I need to pay for it and this would go a long way in funding it. $100 is a lot here in my country.

as i mentioned before, join mannabase for some extra income that you might want to use in the future :) thanks for joining!

For me ..................The best way to spend an $100 is to get a Confirm and original Laptop
computer

and a smarter phone

to make STEEMIT easier and Interesting.

And Investing the remaining on a long-term profitable business.

Good choice ;) alays hard to spend or invest...

Well it depends and can be vary from person to person :)
I agree with @bashadow that if we need to spend within today, the correct way is to invest in steemit as price is down, we can get 150% or eve 200% in week as profit.
If you meant by spend to buy something than i can think of nice smartwatch :) which can motivate you to do exercise and remind you about daily jogging / step taken / how much you slept etc.

ayudandos a otras personas

Grande! Te invito a que te unas a mannabase, ya que creo que es un gran proyecto que en el futuro puede ayudar muchísimo! y viva Leo!

For me it would be some new running shoes, mine are completely worn down now.

it's important to run with good shoes, your feet will not suffer and your knee either!

Right at this moment if I had $100 to spend today? This sounds crazy... I would go have a nice filling breakfast, since I haven't really eaten in 2 days, buy stuff for dinner at work the next 2 nights so I could have good meals.

Why didn't you eat in 2 days if i might ask?

It sounds bad, but I work graveyard shift and I sleep during day. When I get home in the mornings, I have to be quiet as to not wake my husband. So the only time to cook a good meal is before I go to work, usually I have to pull myself out of bed with enough time to get ready. After 10 pm there isn't much open, let alone anything good for you.

The hubby will make lunch for him but not me :P The brat. Then I had thieves at work that stole my TV dinners I had. It's just been a really fun couple of weeks. Normally it's not this bad.

For me, the best way to spend $100 today is to help the people especially those who are in need. They deserve it most and I know that in this act, God would be very happy.

That's a nice idea! As i mentioned in other posts, check out mannabase which is at the end of the question, because they give a free basic income based in crypto that could change the future!

The best way to spend 100 dollars is to invest in something to generate more dollars. Multiplying this money, because I don't have enough money. I'm broken, so, I try to gain some from steemit.

Sometimes we invest in the wrong thing too! As i mentioned in other posts, check out mannabase which is at the end of the question, because they give a free basic income based in crypto that could change the future!

This is one of my favorite question so far ^_^

How I'm gonna spend my $100, of course, My $50 I'm gonna use it with my friends, I will invite them to eat in Korean Restaurant, we will eat Samgyupsal and Ramyun! <3

My $40 I will give it to my mother, and my $10 I will offer it to God.

God bless you! Shalom!

I'm glad you like it! mmm korean food is amazing!!

Yeah! Food is Life <3 hahaha.

Korean food is amazing!

The Questions Contest #47 | What would be the best way to spend 100$ today? Hello @thepassenger.
Hello my dear friends, here with you I will tell you the sad Venezuelan reality, with $ 100, which is the equivalent of 22 million Bs. I would barely reach to make a decent market in my country, I am always from the part that you have to be good to give to others.
You can not give something you do not have, here there are many street children without food, rummaging through the garbage, some of us in the community collaborate with what we can give them, but it is a bit difficult. turn what it costs to get it. That is why there are several Venezuelan steemit groups that are doing some collections to support people in hospitals and streets.
But I really assure you that if I am of the part that we should give to others, support those who come from lower level, review its contents even at random, I think I would use them to increase my voting power.

The best way is to invest in steemit. Buy enough steem power and let the game begin.

USD100 can be spent best on food I think.

The best way to spend $100 would be to set up a small scale business . I believe business is the key and with a consideration of a the country that I am in I would look at the setting up of a snacks joint with different teas to be served alongside

I will spend the money buying vegetable seeds, fertilizers and pots. Then I will distribute the seeds and planting equipment to the poor housewives and teach them how to grow crops. In this way, poor people, especially mothers and children, will not starve and malnourish because they grow their own food.

For me, if I had 100 dollars, I would treat my wife and myself to a nice dinner and a night out. Being a parent means personal and couple time is a limited commodity that is priceless!

Firstly, Sir i appreciate you for this initiative. For me if i should have $100 now, what i will do with it is to use it and improve lives.
I am a corper serving in Zamfara state, Nigeria and the condition of people over here is very poor. I am goin to use the money to put smiles on the faces of as many as i can. I believe When i can add values to lives of people then I will be satisfied i spent the money well.

I know my response is coming late. But i just wanted to share my thought. Thanks
