Hagar Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 We've all played the "What would you do with $1000000" game at some point.. With the recent sale of Insanelymac, a more down-to-earth variation springs to mind. Swad has stated that he will be giving some of the money away, though how much & to whom is a closely-guarded secret.. So, Imagine yourself in his shoes, and lets hear: What would *you* do with the $75,000,-?

gwprod12 Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Hm... I'd probably use it to fund the doctoral program I'd just been accepted into. As the person who just got $75,000 is doing. Eh?

cmoski Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Hmm, I think I'd go put it into a mix of low to medium risk mutual funds, and whoa ho, retirement is set, baby.

macwanabe Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Its almost enough need $80 000 to go to America to study at the DAVE School Universal Studios Orlando Florida, the course requirements is $ 41 500. Have been excepted just have difficulty securing so much money, our currency makes it worse trades at 7.45 to the $ so it costs 7.45x more. Its more expensive due to the fact that I need to pay bills back home when I am there. You have to look after your family you know.

Sabr Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I'd buy a MacBook Pro. I've always wanted one, but I don't have enough money to buy one. After that, I'd put it straight into the bank.

Alessandro17 Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I'd sell one of my properties, add the 75,000 and buy the property of my dreams. But I'd try to have money left for a Mac Pro and a new car, as mine is getting old.

track09 Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I would take the $80,000, and invest in something like Money Market. Then I would take roughly 40% and invest it into a property. I'd save the rest to grow in interest, and to always have for a rainy day.

Lazlo Falconi Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I'd probably put 20% into an IRA, maybe 5-10% into a high-risk mutual fund and hope that pays off, then put the rest into a high yield savings account. I'd only dip into it perhaps to buy a pretty nice Mac Pro (Not an overly expensive one, mind you, just a nice one) and then only for emergencies. $75,000 is a lot of money to recieve at once, but not if you just spend it all away.

cringemaster Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 hell yes! mmmmm coke. but {censored} the hookers (literally and metaphorically hahah) As appealing as blowing all that cabbage on drugs sounds...., I'll probably buy a nice car, like a mini or something hot, a badass mac pro (think the top of the line maxed out 17,000 dollar one) and macbook pro (same thing, maxed out), and save the rest as college spending money so I wont be stuck eating ramen for 4 years straight.

I inherited a similar amount of money a few years ago. I spent everything in 6 months. I was only left with a second hand car.
