Pay for a school for girls, somewhere in the muslim world.
If you were given $30,000 and were told to use it to increase your happiness,
What would you do with the money?

Studies show that money are needed to a certain level and correlate with being content.
Beyond a certain level they do nothing in regards to being content.
As for your question. I would use it to get rid of home loan.

Sadly, 99.999% of all horse owners treat their horses badly. Even the best intentioned horse owners are guilty. We teach horse owners to truly treat their horses with respect. I would use the money to improve our farm so that we can continue this work.
I'd use it to help pay education for girls in Africa

Probably give to our maid. She could go back to her family in Philippines with 6 year"s pay.

Pay off some debts. Put some towards paying off the house. Buy a piece of really nice aquarium wood for the dining room fish tank(it looks so bare in there). Buy at least 20 packs of underwear for each kid(I don't know how they go through them all so quick). Buy a new copy of the Mimamsa Sutras of Jaimini because I don't like the one I've got(translation is weird). Keep some in a secret fund so next time there's an expense because someone in the house made a dumb choice, I don't have to worry about it.

I would invest half and use the remaining for some cause that is important to me... like travelling. It's not the most altruistic cause, but what can I say? I love travelling.

Money belongs to the banks, they should stay there. Unfortunately, people want to use money to interact with other people.

I would probably use it as a down payment on a new pickup truck.

Pay off some debt. And add an addition to my house.
Research shows that how the wealthier among us spend their money makes all the difference for their well-being. Specifically, spending money to have experiences, buying time, and giving money away to help others all reliably raise happiness. Thus, if you have a little excess income, it’s best to use it on those three things.

I'd use a few thousand to spend a few months in a foreign country just to observe, learn, and soak in the sights.
I'd use the rest to subsidize my rent budget so I could afford to rent a one-bedroom apartment with working utilities like AC (don't want another heat stroke like I had this summer) until I graduate and find a better paying job and can afford that myself.

What is meant by buying time?
Basically pay someone else to do the things you don't want to do.
Like hire a cook or maid.
Unless you like cooking and cleaning. Some people do.
I like cooking, but a maid would be awesome.
I think I'd need at least 3 to keep up around here.
