Nah, hold that L. That is enough to completely change the circumstances of a person working for fast food wages. I respect doubling down when you are wrong but you are still wrong.
60k is not a lot. It just isn't. If you guys think it's a lot cool. I don't.
Also what's the tax status on these rewards? Gift or taxable? If taxable even less
Also if it's actually life changing does that mean you would of narcd if the amount was 100% going to be given to you?
I wouldn't. If I had a kid though I don't know if I could make such a principled stance. I would for sure commit heinous crimes for thst kinda money, I think most bank heists get less than that nowadays. 60K would fix every problem I have. New glasses, new shoes, car fixed, debits paid, with enough left over to start a new school or training program and have a vacation to celebrate with a small ammoint saved for emergencies. As most people have zero emergency savings and lots of probelms that would absolutely change my life.
