oldschoolsdime92 Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 stole this idea from another forum. Enjoyed reading it. Thought I would make one here... If you had 50k, How would you invest it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vf1000ride Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 I would start with getting both vehicles paid off. The remaining money would be dropped on my mortgage as I want to be out of debt. My current paycheck retirement deductions can then be increased as my monthly debt payments decrease.

DAC Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Hard to find return in this market for a lump sum that gets dropped on you suddenly. Probably in a short duration bond fund and some high dividend stocks with trailing stops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snot Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Use as a down payment for a house with a bigger garage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRMN8TR Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 I'd spend $10K remodeling my rental house so I can sell it for top dollar, then sell. Then put the ~$60-65k into another house. Fix it up and sell it. Wash, Rinse, Repeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh1234 Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 I'm boring, I'd probably just pay off me & the wife's car, and then put the rest toward the mortgage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkow97 Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Pay off my student loans.. I still owe like 47k on themSame. Except that would only kill 60% or so of my debt. It would save me a ton in interest above the $50k capital. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmutt Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Use as a down payment for a house with a bigger garage.What she said....maybe....or down payment on a new truck, get a Toyhauler, and 2 years worth of tracktime! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnone Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Hard to hold and wait for a market correction but I agree a good idea. I paid off debt first to guarantee a return. Trick is not to obtain new debt just cause you can. Like bigger house, err I mean bigger garage and 911 which is what keeps me up at night. Not really but it does cross my mind daily.

Tpoppa Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 I'm not sure I could sit on the sidelines and wait for a market correction. Some experts think a correction is imminent, some don't. You could lose years worth of returns trying to time a correction. My mix is less aggressive now than it's been for the last few years. Now I like natural gas, a couple indexes, and a sector than has worked out pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakemono Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Id use some of it to pay off my debt and use whats left as a down payment on a house. 40K would make for a nice little down payment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zx3vfr Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Since the original post was about investing. I'd buy 60% silver and 40% gold and just hide it away with the rest of my silver and gold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
