Title is pretty much self-explanatory.

I was just wondering what you would do with it. Would you put it in an index fund of some sort? A more aggressive investment? Let's say you have approx. 100k left on your mortgage at 4.375%. Would you pay off the mortgage? Would you buy some cheap real estate and try to rent it out or something?

Just wondering what you guys would do :O

Pay off the debts of my parents, pay for college, give some of it to family members who live in poverty, donate the rest to charity.

Money is of little importance to me.

It's 100k, not 100 million...

I would probably start on a mortgage with down payment, buy a sea-doo for family use during cottage weekends, and invest the rest. Nothing other than that would change. It's a lot of money, but not a huge amount where I could live lavishly like a celebrity from.

When you have debts? I call bs.

II don't have any debts since I'm not in college yet....but....

I'll invest a third into the stock market. I'll probably do what my friend does with Apple stocks. Then I'll use another third and buy a really nice computer so that I can run crazy stuff. I'll probably buy the most expensive Internet I can along with that. Maybe a bunch of other neat equipment. That probably shouldn't cost more than 10K though...

By that time, I'll have another third and maybe 23K after that last investment. I'll probably use a couple thousand on average day spending (food, etc.).....

Finally all the remainder will be saved in a bank with the highest interest deal I can get (which...in the US...will be hard to comeby), and wait for my college debts to roll in.

Eat out at an absurdly expensive restaurant every night for probably a week.

Aside from that I'd probably put most of it in the bank and just sorta continue day to day as normal, (albeit with a huge security blanket and thus probably a lot less anxiety).

5k into my tax free savings account *_*
10k to pay off school
10k to have to spend/use to live for the next 6 months
75k on the rest of my mortgage that I for some reason have but don't own a house or anything. ^_~

But if I didn't have that mortgage..

5k into savings account
10k to pay off school
20k to spend on whatever i want(new clothes, new computer, trips, so on)
65k to spend on living for the next however long that will last.

All the money I'd make while working(because I'd still be working after I took off like a month) before school, during school, and after I've completed school and I'm working what I want(my course is only 6 months long), would be going into another savings.
Every year with the tax free savings account you can deposit a maximum/have a maximum of 5k in your account. It goes up by 5k. So 1st year 5k, 2nd year 10, so on and so on~ (I think, at least XD) so I'd keep adding to it as well. =]

I might invest some into savings bonds or something, I don't know, haha.

Pay off my car, Pay off my college debts, and then use the rest as leverage for a really nice mortgage rate on real estate I'd rent out and collect more money from. Also I'd build my own $2k computer that I'd be able to use for the next however many years^^

Just including this as well~

Edit: Also, you could have bought the house, then decided to sell it as you were still paying it off, so you'd have a mortgage, but no home. You see? ^_~

Invest in either stocks or mutual funds for a period of time, and then pay off all my debts.

I would probably buy a small apartment building, like a 4plex (Real estate is cheap where I live). Live in one of my apartments and rent out the rest.

This is what I plan to do instead of buying a house in the future. Costs are roughly the same on a 4plex/smallish house and I'll be getting rent from 3 tenants which should cover most, if not all of the loan payments.

What the....how can you buy a BUILDING with 100k???? There's no way real estate is THAT cheap

Honestly 100k really doesn't go that far, Unfortunately the market is high right now so I probably would not invest heavily, I'd probably revamp my apartment with new furniture, buy a ps3, stop waiting for stuff to go on sale on steam and just pay full price, and then save the rest while waiting to see if the market drops below 10500 k again before moving in

Depends on the 4plex, I've seen decent ones in the 100k-200k range. I guess that's one good thing about Idaho, cheap real estate. -_-
