If you had $100,000

[Miller]

You would do that with 100k huh? I would expand my business, put some down on a home and cushion my savings.

[Wease]

How old are you? Putting all of that into aggressive mutual funds at an early age could mean your retirement is going to be much easier.

 

A relative of my wife's is going through a similar situation, she was injured in an accident and received $130K when she turned 18. They approached us as how to invest it. With an average of 7-8% gain over the next 40+ years, that would turn into $2M - $4M. Which won't be enough to retire on in 40+ years, but it's a huge start when you're 18... :nod:

All this is assuming this world doesn't crash and burn which it very weel seems to be on course for.

 

Just remember, all the "money" we "have", is fake, imaginary, and can disappear at the click of a button. This is why long term ish is hard for me to take that seriously because in 40yrs, we will be exchanging yen and speaking chinese.

Awesome. Japanese currency and Chinese language. Isn't Glen Beck on right now?

Peso's from the Saudi's will be somewhere in the mix too.

 

Is Glen Beck that blonde hair guy with a radio show? I am pretty sure my old boss used to listen to him on 610 back in the day.

[Orion]

Energy Brokerage Firm.

 

Plus I'd take some of it to the casino, play with the big(ger) boys for a bit.

[6 Speed S4]

I would invest about 40% in a safe trust fund that pays dividends every few months.

[AngryBMW]

Winner.

I haven't taken your mon...er...played with you in forever. Do you have any games coming up?

[TimTaylor751647545500]

You know what I would do if I had a $100,000? I would invest half of it in low risk mutual funds and then take the other half over to my friend Asadulah who works in securities...

[Orion]

Any night you want to take a trip out to the west side, bro. I'll even buy you a drink.

 

Seriously, though, I haven't played in a home game in ages. Just head out west anymore.

[V8 Beast]

Use some of it to invest in a Dairy Queen franchise in front of a school in a high traffic area.

Thats right lock it and go do what this man said. Lock it mods

[nurkvinny]

I am tempted to lock it.

 

I may have the most boring answer.

 

Start a college fund for 3 kids to use in the future.

Pay the mortgage down 20 or 30 grand.

Take a nice vacation.

[Tractor]

I'd day trade it, not quite enough to make a full time living out of it, but I could grow it very fast. Nothing long term so you don't get hit with large risk.

 

Otherwise as has already been said, very aggressive growth funds and keep it that way.

OMG,

 

MY HERO.

 

Spend time on youtube watching vids from oversea's and they have this setup.

Roll race all day with no danger!

[99ta]

I have thought a lot about it. If I ever came across a lot of cash I would. I have debated discussing the idea with the airports and sherrif to see if we could do it a night a month or something. The pickaway and ross county airports would be perfect. Im not sure on liability and stuff like that though.

Depending what you have in mind, you better check airport prices first...

yeah, my guess it would be well over a 100k.

[Miller]

I think concrete/blacktop is in the $1m's per mile for new construction. Not sure on what it would cost to buy something already done. You would definitely be a local hero for your efforts.

So if everyone on cr received 100k at the same time, this could be a very feasible joint venture.... just saying.
