GTKY

Into+the+Kitty · October 2014

You just inherited $100,000. What do you do with it?

JEPES1348 · October 2014

Pay off DH's and my student loans from grad school. Shiz is expensive.

And if you're polling for the sole purpose of gathering ideas about what to do with the 100k you've inherited, then I'm totally jealous and resentfully refuse to participate.

No, just wondering what to do with a portion of J's life insurance once I... Err... Divorce him?

Down payment on a new house.

This

Probably pay off most of our mortgage. That way we could have the house paid off super quick and have more options if we want to move.

KLXVI · October 2014

Pay off my high interest student loan and invest some to pay off my low interest loan over time. Then use the rest for a down payment on a larger house. That will never happen, though, because we have no rich relatives.

We would finish updating our house so it will sell quickly, then buy land in the country and start building a house. I'd also love to buy a nice camper for family vacations.

Aaaah classic personal finance 101!! Pay off the loans at a rate higher than you can earn, save and slowly pay off the loans at a lower rate than you can earn.

I'd take a vacation with a bit of it, invest half of what's left for college for the boys, and donate the rest to a local charity that does a lot of work around here supporting kids who don't always have a safe place to go and food to eat while mom and/or dad is at work.

Pay off my mortgage and then invest it. Possibly redo the kitchen and get new carpets.

Move back to where our families live, "home". It's a crummy economy up there but if we could get rid of our house and move we totally would.

Mandmeesh · October 2014

Pay off debt. Then buy a lollipop with what was left over. Lol

countrycotton · October 2014

Pay off the note on the house. Invest the rest in cattle.

ITK, you always start these GTKYs, but do you ever answer them? Are you just scamming us for info for the SS?

BoothBaby · October 2014

Probably half to DS's college fund, and half to our retirement fund. Not very exciting stuff.

bumpuser9353653 · October 2014

Quit my job, and take the time off to go back to school for my dream career of working with dogs. Then maybe start my own business

sasq09 · October 2014

Use it to start the business dh has been dreaming of starting

littleredfish · October 2014

Pay off debt, put some away for DD's college fund, then some travel (maybe the honeymoon we never had)

hlm184 · October 2014

Maybe a vacation, but mostly into savings so we can buy land/build our dream home when DH finally gets out of the military.

We're boring. We'd probably take a vacation somewhere and then spend the rest either investing in new business ventures or being invested in our retirement accounts.
