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).

Plus this

and a little traveling for good measure.

$100k ain't a whole lot at all. It's a security cushion and a little cash to have fun and maybe do a little investing, not something to go quitting your job over.

i'd put 50k~ on a down payment for a condo, and save the rest. maybe go on a cheap trip.
Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!

If it was on a mortgage I'd pay that shit off instantly unless I could get more than 4% on an investment elsewhere with no risk, which is highly unlikely.

If you just handed me 100k, I'd invest it somewhere with more risk for like an 8-10% return. Its not really that much money.

4.3% interest isn't too bad. If I had 100k, I'd probably pay off any credit card debts or any other high interest debts off first. Then put the rest in a Vanguard Index fund.

I would first buy a kickass computer that can play sc2 on all ultra, because my comp right now can't even run sc2 on low. Then save money for college. And with the rest, invest

Ummm.
I don't like having lots of money. I'm not a huge fan of capitalism (yeah yeah, let's not get into a big argument, please), so I'd probably just buy a nice desktop PC, a bunch of awesome ingredients and cookware, and... that's about it. I have no car payments, make enough to make rent now, and I have less than a year left in school which is already paid for. Soooo I'd spend that first 4,000-ish dollars and probably just give the rest away.

I know it sounds all self-righteous to be like, "GIVES IT AL TO CHARITYZ" but I probably would. But I'd be really selective about it. There are some really awesome charities that raise barely any money. I guess I'd probably do some research first.

But you have to remember: this is AFTER I buy an awesome computer.

And like 6 copies of SC2 so I have have 5 smurf accounts.

save for college and whatever other expenses fall under that category.

go see the world, korea specifically.

I like having money, but I barely ever spend it. So with whatever is left I'd probably just give it all to my friends or family.

Stop working for the next 3-4 years and spend the time studying (perhaps open university or just by myself), working on hobbies, and learning skills. Also some charity work.

Not having to work for a while would be wonderful.
It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it.

I'd probably spend it on world-class guitar and piano lessons, pay off school, and also pay for a international/grandmaster chess player to tutor me

I would pay off my house. While from a mathematical standpoint, I stand to make more than 4.375% a year if I invest it, the removal of all debt would be great to me mentally.

Just kidding.

Hookers and blow obviously.

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


Obviously I would square any remaining debts first, but any leftover, liquid cash I would immediately reinvest into property.

I bought an investment house a couple months ago for $21k and am already renting it for $750/mo.

5 more of those and I'll be on easy street.
