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   | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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). | ||

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. | ||

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 | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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 | ||

- 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. | ||

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. | ||

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.

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. | ||
