YourMotherShouldKnow Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Invest it in stocks. I'd take the $20,000 and buy 20 different stocks that I see as fast growers. If I can double one of those $1,000 slices 10 times I got me $1,000,000 bucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techristian Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 First I would pay down my credit card debt. With the other $15,000 I would book off the next 4 months (from work) to finish my CD and my next music video. That would be a big help. I have already been on this project 3 years.

Philip OKeefe Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Interesting question. I'd probably spend a large chunk of it doing some remodeling to my house. A bit would probably go into the studio (a couple new mics and preamps, maybe a couple of Distressors or a Fatso... oops, there goes the whole $20K... ), and of course, I'd want to selectively give some to a worthy charity. Okay, okay, maybe just one mic (probably the new Soundelux E49 or maybe the E47), three preamps (probably the OSA API clones) and the Fatso... that's a good seven grand. Give ten grand to the wife towards the home improvement projects we're getting ready to begin, and then give the other three grand away. Figuring out ways to SPEND the money has never been that difficult... it's the making money part that's hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wewus432 Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 If you gave me a... Double King Grand I would figure you had more hidden somewhere so I would kidnap you, and torture you until you told me where the rest of it was. I really don't want to hurt you or your family, this is just a business matter. I'm going to send you a deposit slip and if that money is available by next week, and...I mean the whole amount, then we're cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super 8 Posted March 4, 2004 Author Share Posted March 4, 2004 Originally posted by Rensonic: Originally posted by Super 8: If I gave you twenty thousand dollars tax free, what would you do with it?What about you, chief? Why hit the dog tracks, of course! I got me a good feelin about the 3 race... It's interesting that maybe only one person here would use it for investment purposes. Phil, the home improvement idea is also something I would give a lot of consideration to. I live in -what I would consider anyway- a pretty decent place. But the old girl needs some work! I guess spending on your house is a form of investing... However, it only counts if you sell the house. Techristian, Paying off the cards, is also something I would definitely do. From now on, it's gas and grocerys on my card and that's all... Pay it off every month!!! I'm even thinking about a Music Player card for that purpose -if they have some cool designs. I wouldn't purchase ANY technology, because it just loses it's value too quickly. And ten percent would go to a cause that I believe in. Not easy to give that up, but maybe that's a good reason to do it... Okay, who else??? I'm surprised this thread hasn't generated more responses.

I'd also do it in such a way that it could be a blueprint for other homeowners to follow suit - give seminars and tours and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antimatter Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Buying a pool this year, would love to have a nice deck around it. Maybe some landscaping too. Wouldn't mind a big Plasma HDTV. A new Guitar for me, a shopping spree for the Wife. A really cool Swing set/Play thing for the kids. Need new tires on my car. My computer is obsolete(again). Maybe a vacation. Could always use money in the bank! Any chance you could make that $40k? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
