what would you do with 50 grands ??
 

my father left me some $$$ when he died, and i'm planning on using part of it to start a business here...

so, what would it be ?!... i'm stuck in ideas... mainly because i do not know if it worth it for now... so, if someone have great ideas, maybe this will help me be inspired.. lol

what would you do with 50 000 $$$ ($CA please, the US one is loosing values.. lol)

and no, i'm not going to share with any of you who pretend to be my friend now... ROFL!

i would put it into the stock market and buy ETFs

you could double it in a few months if you're good
it's unlikely anyone will give you a cash cow for free

yeah, i know, i do not need any cow actually, i can profit with the things i actually know, thanks for the suggestion for the stock market...

i don't need to profit, i just need to find a great thing to do with it.. lol

hey nexia, have i told you how beautiful you are lately? :)

I would invest most of it, maybe use around 10,000 for websites (buying/building some sites, etc.) for my actual business.

I would go to Disneyland and stay there till I broke again .

nah get you a local bussiness.

lol Dont go to disneyland. it sucks. I used to work there.

I'd invest it wisely. There are people who can give you advice on what to invest in, a lot better than I :)

i already have another bunch of grands to invest... what i talk about is ideas to spend wisely the first 50 grands i have on a job, business or something...lol

Disneyland is a good idea for vacation, but our people already own half of Florida, so it's useless to spend my cash there.. lol
(here i talk about half of the state inhabited by french canadians.. lol)

Here in the United States, you can go to the Chamber of Commerce and get free business advice. Contact your local Chamber of Commerce and see if they offer the same service. It would be a start and then you can decide what kind of infrastructure to put the money in so your business is on a solid foot.

If it were me, I would use it to finish my Doctor of Naturopathy degree and set up my practice.

Money that is not for investing...

Use the money to purchase inventions that have not yet been patented or have been up for sale that may be of commercial value. Advertise and market these products. Do informercials.

Purchase something with lasting value for a family member or friend. Not to expect anything in return. Purchase it just because...

Go on a toilet paper splurge. Generally when people have loads of money that they are not used to having they spend it on luxuries. While toilet paper is not the obvious choice just think that you will no longer have to count squares anymore. You can roll free-willing. Now that's blissful... :D

Your people ?


anyways.. I would invest 60% use 10% and promote your sites, if you're interested in more traffic, put 25% in the bank, and use the other 5% and take you and your family on a nice vacation in paradise :)

Why would anyone want half a candy bar? :p

If I were you I'd spend a portion of it on debts (we all have them). After the debts are out of the way spend a little on yourself (go out and get drunk with random women for example ;)). If anything is left over invest it into something....I leave that part up to you. :)

Ah now I understand why your english isn't so great nex ;) Je parle un peu francais.

I would use that money as a down payment on our first home...

Buy google stock :)

Or I.B. :D

There should be vBulletin stock :erm:

come on, you really think they need my money ?!

LOL

Maybe a year or so ago but not now. Same with MS stocks, peaked in the late 90's and it won't ever get that high again. Find a company that has clear vision of where they want to be in the short term to long term. Companies that are getting their break is where you'd want to be.

I'm not going to pretend to be your friend, but you can still share if you like ;)

Invest a little of it or use it for a down payment on a home if you don't already own one.

Blow it all on sex, drugs and rock and roll... :)

Chris

:eek:

hell yea!

I knew someone would suggest that... but from Chris... ?!.... your mother will not be proud of you, Chris !

Forget the Rock & Roll bit ..................

That's what I thought a year ago when GOOG was at $500/share. Now it's at $700 :) I think G still has some room to peak.

Thats the excuse for the other two though ;)
Oh I'm not worried, it is you that corrupted my mind with the mention of money :p

Chris

I'd not do anything except adding more.

/me coughs
I would give it to chairty since google stock is now in the hole...

I don't see how anyone who isn't a multi-millionaire could physically give that much money to charity...

Honestly, I'd spend that money on myself or my family to better our lives because I don't have the luxury or the financial security to worry about being "generous"...

Chris

Bill Gates...

What about him? He has financial security and I would imagine alot of luxury...

Chris

You're probably right. Heck, they've grown in every quarter so who's to know where they'll stand in a year from now. Still, it's rather speculative and the money that you'll put in is on the higher side. Yes, you can gain but yes you can lose big.

I'd rather invest in something where I'm confident that my principle will not be lost. For most investors this is the case. If you have money to lose than invest in Google. If you're looking for a cushion for the upcoming years then find stock that is low and has growth potential.

I'd buy a six pack.

you really need friends.

Hookers, Beer and Vegas

Which sounds like a wonderful idea until you're broke. The flight out of Vegas has a lot of sad people on it, at least that's what I hear. :D

FAR from in the hole, plus didn't you just say to invest in Google? :) Google has room to grow.

I said google when it was at 743
Now its at 643, first down in a long time
