Here's $2 Million....what are you going to do with it?

[Duddy]

So, if you just got approx. $2,000,000, how would you invest it (not stock market or real estate)?

 

[jagec]

Not stock market or real estate? Why not?

 

[isekii]

Put it in bank and live off the interest

 

[BigJ]

Creative writing classes so I could come up with better bullshit than this.

Are you asking hypothetically, or are actually claiming that you all of a sudden have $2m to invest?

PS: I'm not specifically looking for advice on Anandtech, so don't flame me please. I have some investment advisors working on it, I'm just curious to see what you guys would do.

Find me a current bank that'll let you live comfortablly off the interest of only $2m.

Hypothetical. Maybe.

 

[DaveSimmons]

I'd say to keep taking whatever it is, since it's giving you such pleasant waking dreams

Either that or do your own homework

And . . . stock index mutual funds. With a mix of US and world stocks it's as close as you get to a sure bet for making more than CDs for long term investing.

now where near enough interest after taxes to live off it.

I'd probably buy some land and develop it or commercial leases.

Good math skills.

 

[Duddy]

Guys, why would you not want to work all your life? You gotta stay busy somehow, it's what keeps people alive. Besides, $2 million does not make enough interest to live off of after taxes.

Well is it or isnt it? Stop playing with your words. OP makes it seem like you actually have the $2m .

But then you are selling shit on FS/FT for $50 and negotiating for better deals, not something someone with $2m would be messing around with.

So which one is it?

 

[oiprocs]

I'd leave this thread and go to the one where I get $10 million.

If High School proved anything about me, it's that I suck at homework. That's why I hire people to do it for me.

But you did in your original post before you edited it... Grow up

And why not? Afraid someone might be able to steal $2m from you because they know your Ip addy?? WTF

I actually don't mind my job, but I think I can find something else to do 8 hours a day.
