what would you do with $10k

taylor13 · Dec 29, 2012

If you got $1000 right now and then $750 a month for the next 12 months, what would you do?

KktdocT · Dec 29, 2012

I'd cash out a little and gamble the rest.

Id save all of it thru like july and plan a trip to vegas for the summer. Best to put the money somewhere i cant even touch it so I wont spend it on dumb shit

#1 Make sure you have your limit in your Roth
#2 Pay off anything with higher interest rates then I can get in return for the money
#3 Savings (if it was unexpected then you didn't plan for it and as long as you can pay your bills and put food on the table then there is no use in just blowing it)

If you have debts, then pay it off. I'd recommend give your family members some money, if they need it.

I got this as a gift. I could use it, but can get by without using it. I got divorced this past year so loss of an income and new bills because of divorce have had things pretty tight around here, but I can still make it easier than most. Id like to not be a dipshit with free money cause I never get free money. Is $10k even worth anything toward the future nowadays?

Family members got the same gift. I dont have any debt other than house, no credit card debt or shit like that. I would like to move to the country in the next couple years

take a trip that you will never forget. Go somewhere you've always wanted to go.

this.

If you have debt, pay that off, maybe spend a grand or two on something that you normally wouldn't have.....

For me, it would be just putting it away since I don't know much income ill have in the next year

KktdocT · Dec 29, 2012

Does it look like this?

Apologies, I did not read your thread correctly. You meant: you have a steady income totalling $10,000 for the next 12 months. I'd save it or if you want to take risk, gamble at will.

Travel or invest

If you go the invest route, China and Japan are great plays right now. A few spec ideas...

Seen you Don't need it right Now... I know you really can't make much at All by putting into a Bank CD... but at least you Can't touch it and you Know you won't lose it.

What do they have now a days ?? 1yr 2yr and 3yr CD's at the Bank ???
or just throw it into a Safe deposit box.. Safe, etc... and forget it's there

mplastered · Dec 29, 2012

The 10 would go straight to bills, the rest to savings and vacation fund.

Willie99 · Dec 29, 2012
