If someone gave you 30K, what would you do?

[OS]

If someone hypothetically gave you 30K, what would you do? Buy a new car/house does not count.

More interested in life decisions, IE start a little business, go back to school, travel the world etc. Serious/unusual investments also interesting. Include justifications.

 

[KLin]

buy a new car/house.

oh wait 😱

 

[walla]

why'd they give me 30k? and where did it come from?

otherwise, pay off school loans.

 

[Sluggo]

Pay my quarterly taxes that are (over)due, hopefully that would get me a little ahead instead of behind. 🙁

 

[bigrash]

pay off debt. start my own business with rest

 

[GoingUp]

10K into decorating my new place, 20K into investments

 

[bonkers325]

buy $30,000 worth of penny stocks.

 

[Ricemarine]

pay off school loans.

 

[vi edit]

$30k would be a good start of the capital I would need to buy into a small franchise I'm currently looking into.

Really need closer to $90k though.

Like I said, good start...

Max out my yearly IRA contribution, then put the rest into bonds and mutual funds for retirement. Plus maybe a hundred shares of Amazon just because.

Invest most likely.

 

[BRObedoza]

[MartyMcFly3]

not suck them off if that's what you are getting at.

Talk to sonz though. I heard he likes that kind of thing.

 

[lokiju]

Get out of debt and save/invest the rest.

And then...?

 

[nageov3t]

I'd quit my job and I'd go to grad school full-time. use loans + the 30K to pay for tuition, rent, and utilities.

 

[flyboy84]

use it towards grad school
