Yeah, but what if you died tomorrow. You would have lived an unfulfilled life (not saying that you don't have fun currently). Why enjoy your money when you are old and boring and have nothing else to do?


I actually enjoy working, and really don't see retirement as a goal I would ever like, so I have fun in the present. Saving and planning for the future is great, but you can't get stuck in the trap of "building that nest egg for retirement", when the future is uncertain.

Work hard, play hard . . . that's my motto.
 
I've always wanted a boat,but have been warned by many:

"The happiest days I had with my boat was the day I bought it . . . and the day I sold it."

I stilll want a boat (mainly to go boat fishing whenever I want) but to me that would probably not be wise.

But overspending on a car . . . well worth it. :D
 
yeah, boats are so impressive to other people but they are such a headache, one of my buddies has a 39" sailboat...pimp shit but so much maintenance.

The key to a boat is access. It can be a pain if you're transporting it from your yard, dropping it in the water, running around for a few hours and then having to haul it out the same day and dump it back in your yard. Winterizing it can also be a pain.

Growing up, my family had a boat easement, so we only took it out in the Fall and dropped it back in the Lake in the Spring. Even then, it was a bit of a pain.

My situation now is much better. Even though I'm rarely staying at my place in Oregon, my boat is in a boat garage year-'round and I just lower it into the Lake whenever I feel like taking a spin.

In other words, the more time you actually spend on your boat rather than prepping it for use, the more you'll enjoy it.
 
I would pay half of it in taxes for starters...unlike some of you!:devilwink:

That's it, I'm getting a boat. :) And I mean that not in a mocking way but in a way that I need someone to give me a push because I really want a boat.

But since I can only afford to dry dock it (probably miles away from the river) . . . your words of wisdom doesn't get me there yet.

Really what I need is to is buy a cabin by a lake and park the boat out there all summer . . . so ABM needs to add one more zero to this hypo and my answer is buy a lakefront cabin and then the boat. :D
 
Prolly just stick it in a savings account for insurance against layoffs.

Join a boat club?


When I was in highschool, a friend and myself joined a sailboat club over by Jantzen Beach. I have no idea how much it costs now, but that might be a way for you to enjoy boating without actually having to do any upkeep.
 
Getting to ABM's question, if I had $100K tax free, what would I do with it? In the real world, I would just invest it. However, in the spirit of ABM's question, I'd probably pay for the second floor addition and renovation of our place in Colorado.

Niice. :)

Would the addition potentially add to any views you might have?
 
I would repair my credit 100% to make it perfect. Then I would buy a 20,000 dollar car. Then I would bet the rest on a roulette roll.

If I won? I would do it again. (If I lost, I have perfect credit and a new car).

If I won again? I would stop and put a down payment on a nice house.

haha cool thread. It was fun to think about.

To have everything where you can really go into producing would be close to $10,000. Not crazy money but tough when you don't have it lol.

Oh but you could go a lot higher then that brother!!! There are mics that cost 10 grand alone. I could spend the entire 100k on equipment for my music. I am sure you could too.
 
tell no one. Buy myself a new pair of decent basketball shoes, my girl something that sparkles for Christmas and put the rest into gold

STOMP

Yeah. Our house is in an "old" section of Denver and is on one of the highest points in the city. Our second story will give us a full view of the Rockies from the 2nd floor and the 3rd floor balcony.
 
...I'd probably break down come the summer and bankroll an extended hiking trip doing either the John Muir Trail or in the Canadian Rockies

STOMP
 
I'd get a bunch of hookers and party like a Tiger!
