$150,000 What To Do

[kla37]

No worries about paying for college for my kids.

I'll stop working for 1 year and use the $150,000 in my everyday living. Anyway this question reminds me a news entitled Chicago area man finds $150,000 in his back yard. Instead of owning the money and use it for himself, he rather chose to surrender it to the authority. Nice attitude, looking forward to the police to do the same.

Buy all the land you can. Land will always have value.

Save it for harder times. I know its bad now but could get worse. Buy things you need to survive. Generators, Tillers stuff to help you be more self sufficient. Maybe a wind turbine if you live where the wind blows.

I would buy an apartment on the southern coast of Turkey-the Turkish Riviera. I could get a real nice apartment for that money, and walk to the beach.

For you? I would probably put the money into a cd till you know what you want to do. How are you set for retirement?

If it was me,

Give to church and charities.
set aside about $5,000-10,000 for any fun times that come up in the next year.
Put enough money to pay 1 year of expenses in a savings or money market account for an emergency fund.
Put most of it in investments to provide for the future.

Take your parents on a really nice vacation to thank them for raising you

Deerman, I just joined BYC just a few weeks ago, and am slowly piecing together your story. For all the posts I have read from you, and about you, I have just got to say what an amazing person you are. Right now I am at work, sobbing hysterically about a complete stranger. I can only hope I have the strength you do what you are doing if I were faced with the same health issues. I love to hear your responses to people that have no clue what they are doing, and hold the highest respect for you.
My answer to this thread's question is the obvious, travel with family, and make sure they are taken care of. But one thing that wasn't mentioned...How about going to Australia and getting eggs from all these obscure peafowl colors, and smuggling them back? What are they gonna do? Arrest you? It would make for some hell of a vacation!! I'm sure there are alot of your friends that would carry on your legacy.... I know it sounds crazy, but I figured I would throw it out there. Remember, live like you were dying....Roberta
