I'd cry and run away. I'd be better off dead, no way could I pay that off.

For that sum of money I'd let them take me to court, but if I had to pay it I'd be fine. I have an order of magnitude more money than that.

This happened with my house. We got a home equity loan, it's almost paid off after two years. It did nothing to my life style because I'm pretty minimalist.

Tell them to fuck off. I ain't got 10k to blow right now.

Even if I did I'd put it off as long as possible. I can't see a reasonable scenario I would just owe someone 10k at the drop of a hat.

10k is the same amount as my remaining student debt which i was planning on paying off within the next 2 months

I dont have 10k immediately available but i have most of it available. Short term i could get a loan from my parents and pay them off with no lifestyle changes since im still on top of everything else

Long term i gotta save up to repay my student debt

I can afford to pay it, but I'm not going to until I know what exactly I owe for.

probably just get my parents to pay for it tbh

not really the most independent course of action, but it's better than taking out a loan

I could do it, but it would fucking hurt as 10k is a lot of money to me.

I would immediately question why I was being fined and the legitimacy of it. If everything turned out to be legit and I deserved the fine, I'd pay it and it would be more of an inconvenience that cut into my retirement by a few months than anything else.

Wouldn't be able to do it under normal circumstances but somehow I ended up with a crazy huge refund this year so that plus emergency fund and savings would cover it.

But I really can't think.of any reason I would be fined $10k.

I'm fucked. I'd have to borrow the money from my parents and I'd never hear the end of it.

I have 3 million in savings. I would pay it and then tip the people who fined me for bringing this to my attention.
