If you had $100,000

I would hire a English tutor.

I would buy out Alutards employer and then make his life a living hell before i fired his candy Ass

Where is our Boy Blunder?

I think I'd pay debts off and spend a week in Cuba, that place is awesome!

Think I would buy txtittyfan's daughter. Then I would put the remaining $99,500 in a brokerage account, but hold off investing it for a bit.

I'll tell you what I'd do, man - two chicks at the same time.

I would be debt free and replace some business equipment and invest some in education

Green education, Joe? The Sea of Green method? Ask Ed.

1. Pay off the home.
2. Lower my home insurance costs to a sane level.
3. Continue on as I have in the past with a little more pocket money.

1. Pay off my debt
2. Travel a bunch first stop Disney in Florida
3. 2nd stop extended vacation in Seatle few people i wanna spend time with
   Just enjoy life with out the stress of debt would be a biggie

Maybe buy a new car but no other significant changes.

sc,

Us older guys seem more practical. Maybe because we were before the instant gratification populous.

@Clubber-Taking shots at the younger generation, I see.

Whats a matter for you Clubber, Harley wouldn't start?

in the great words of Lawrence from the Movie office space
"I'll tell you what I'd do, man: two chicks at the same time, man."

@Clubber-I'd do the same things that you would do. It makes sense.

I have that amount and more and what I did was invest it so I could sit at my computer and watch it dwindle.

Yes slick green education= financial education

Lol

The last time there was a giant lottery CNN asked this question and someone posted "I'd spend 1/2 on hookers and blow and the other 1/2 I would just waste". That's one of my favorite quotes.

I just bought a new car, but would probably replace my 7 year old work van. Maybe blow a little at casino or strip club. Then invest the rest in dividend paying stocks to help support me in my rapidly approaching retirement years.

$100K wouldn't make a huge difference. Probably take an extra trip for fun (that would include some righteous clubbin') and invest the rest

Well of course. One of the privileges of age! :)

Of course it would start, but a bit to cool for us Southern rednecks fellers.

See. In just a few hours you got old enough to see the wisdom of my thought.

I'd save some money to pay taxes, then when my income dropped back to normal if that counted as income, I'd put it in an ira and then convert that ira to a roth ira and then invest it. I might talk to a financial advisor to determine if I lost money, which would be easier to deduct,a roth ira or a regular brokerage account. Other than that I probably wouldn't do much more different.

Maybe I'd put it all except money to pay taxes in an ira and then convert it right away to a Roth IRA, let those funds grow tax free so I can attempt to have as much as Shadowcat when I reach retirement age. I might buy a pizza and a few extra lap dances if I won the money. You didn't say how we supposedly got the money. I was assuming this would be additional funds from something we won. If that's the case, the IRS would likely take 25% to 39% before we hardly even saw it, then the state would get a big cut.

Probably take a two week trip to Europe or South America, stay in nicer accommodations that I would normally. Stick a few thousand away for the next Vegas trip. The rest would go to paying off the mortgage on my house or one of my rental properties.

$100K would pay for the next six DC-3 charters to the exploration camp.

If I were given $100,000 all at once...If possible, I would use a portion of that to purchase partial ownership of one of the local clubs. Why should I piss away my money in a strip club when I can get paid BY the club instead? If not, then I'd put a down-payment on a 2BR house in town, fix it up if necessary then immediately start screening prospective tenants to rent the place. Let the tenants pay the mortgage etc. for me. Wait a few years & keep track of the real estate market, so I would know when to sell the house.

After that, I'd check out the clubs in Spain. Madrid, particularly.

Sketch,

An excellent option that didn't cross my mind. However, I don't know if I could deal with all the BS of owning a club.

Pay my OC health insurance premium

I would buy some guns--guns I don't really need like an AK-47.

Go back to school for a bit.

Pay off my schooling, switch from full time to part time at my job and live minimum so I have less things to worry about than paying the rent.
