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.

A house for $21k? I had to check your country on that one.

10k to paying off current college debts, reserve 10k to future college debts. Probably 30k more reserved for the rest of my schooling, so my parents don't have to pay.

Then 50k on... I'd like to build something. Screw investing, unless it's in something 99% reliable. I'd like to try to start a business, a non profitable one even, with my very own website... or I'd research something else of interest and try to buy a patent on that.

Say 30k on a nice little apartment or something like that, then drugs.

Get myself a house or apartment. Rent it out for the time being while I'm still with my parents. Move out in about a year or two.

1) pay off all debts immediately or, if pending, set that aside in a new savings account.
1.5) add additional money for stuff I know I'll owe (tuition + rent)
2) take 10% and set it aside as spending $$. if thats more than 1 big-ticket item I'd split it up over a couple months (like computer one month, tv the next, vending machine the next)
3) take the other 90% and invest it in index funds @ 8.3% of total/month starting immediately

Get a manager and have him help me invest it properly after buying myself out of my hole for a few thousand. Then just pretend like I don't have the money and live how I normally would had I not received it. This is easier said than done.

Give it to my parents. Will be just a fraction for what they did for me. Least I could do to show them my gratitude.

- Invest $100k till I'm done school (2 years)
- Re-invest the interest back into making more money.
- Pay off student loans as soon as school is done
- Keep rest in investments till I decide to use part (or all) of what I have for a down payment on a house.

Obviously if you have no plan for it, keep it in an index fund. Put it somewhere liquid so that you can access it when you do have a great need for it, whether it be starting a business or a great investment opportunity or whatever.

And your mortgage is fucking low.

In no circumstances are you to invest in a house you don't plan to live in. Sorry but real estate is terrible right now.

Shouldn't be too hard to get a mortgage around that % for anyone. Just look around. I don't recall my parents ever having a mortgage above 4.5% and they've had 3 houses in their lifetime already.


$30k into a savings for the rest of my college expenses.
$20k to invest into my current reselling business.
$25k invested somewhere safe, so I can use it as a down payment for my house when I graduate from college and get a job.
$20k invested with the $30k above to be used as a down payment for the car I want when I graduate from college and get a job.
$5k to send my parents away somewhere for a month or so. Not only are they gone from the house, but it'll be nice for them since they haven't gone anywhere in 2 years.

Real estate prices are the lowest they'll be for a while right now. If you want to buy real estate, right now is the time.

Even I don't know where to find a house for $21k here in the US. If I could find a house for $21k and rent it out for $750 a month, I would own a bunch of them by now. The rent pays for the mortgage seven fold. Damn New Jersey prices though. A decent one family house is about $300k or more right now.

Office Space. I honestly didn't like it too much, but I haven't had the displeasure of working in an office setting yet.....

Find a place to rent close to school, school, electronic drum set (my acoustic is pissing everybody off), acoustic guitar, bass, full sized keyboard, sexy desktop, maybe a shitty car. The rest for saving and occasions where I can show I'm not a cheap bastard anymore. I'd be a happy camper with 100,000

Definitely, definitely, definitely would pay off the mortgage.
Call me boring, but I'll spend my money that would be spent on the mortgage on prostitutes afterwards.
