So i went to a focus group purely to provide feedback, now i have a 75 dollar giftcard which i have to select and withdraw but im not sure what to put the money towards? my older brother also got one. Yes i live with parents so most of my living needs are already covered.
What would be the smart thing to do here? what would you suggest and why so?

Do you have to spend it right now? You could just wait until you need the money and spend it then.
It’s entirely dependent on what you want or need. If you’re good right now throw it in savings until you want or need something.
Save it, preferably in something interest bearing. Pretend you never got that money.
Having $75 when you really need it is worth a lot more than spending $75 just because you have it.
Can you use that gift card anywhere? If yes, then first convert it to cash. Your parents may be covering all your expenses, but they still need to buy groceries. The next time they do, ask them to use your gift card and give you the equivalent amount in cash. Now you have more flexibility to do whatever you want with that cash. Buy something nice, save/invest, etc. You have plenty of advice from others on this already.
Go to a mom & pop nonprofit thrift store. You’ll have a fun time and the money often goes to supporting non profits

$75 might get you a power washer or a lawn mower, maybe a snowblower depending on your area. Could make that money back real quick if you have a little charisma.
One gallon of gas.

Safe bet is corn
Who is that in the image? whats the story behind this image?
That’s a man that used to have $75. Now he has corn.
I’d be rolling in that shit like I was Scrooge McDuck.
If you’re from the Midwest, that’s how you get cornbred.
Corn bed
And then corn bred again ;)
In the corn bed!?!
It’s probably a hunter leaving bait for deer or something. Hence the orange getup.
Buy as many stick on googly eyes as you can and put them on everything you see
Waymond?
We have a winner!
if your into coffee, a cheap carafe or french press is really good. depends what you want to use it on?
Invest it.
Whatever you spend it on, may I make a suggestion, if you have a little extra money yourself? Spend the gift card money, yes: buy something you’ll enjoy, share that joy with the people who got it for you, let them see how happy they’ve made you.
Then take the card that the giftcard came in, put in $75 cash, and put it in a special place. Do that every time someone gives you money or a giftcard. As I’ve gotten older, a lot of the people in my life have died, gotten ill, or moved away. Sometimes, when I’m feeling sad or depressed, I’ll go to my little drawer of cards and pull one out at random. I’ll re-read the message, and think about the person and the love that we shared at that time, and I’ll take the money and do something special for myself, to cheer myself up a bit.
Then sometime in the next few days, I’ll get the same amount of cash from the bank, put it in the envelope, and replace it in my stash: the caring we felt for each other at that time was true (regardless of how things eventually turned out), so the cards give me a little emotional boost and the cash lets me do something for myself that I’d normally not spend money on. It helps me feel better, even if only for a little time.
[I’ll also be honest and say that sometimes I’ve run out of money, and something will twinge and I’ll remember I have this little stash of cash, and having that has helped me get through some slightly tough times. But I always put the money back in the cards when I can afford it.]
That’s really beautiful.
Use it for whatever will bring you the most pleasure.
