What would you do with 150,000$?

June 27, 2017 10:00pm CST
Several years ago I was in a huge car accident involving an 18 wheeler and a little old toyota corolla - you can guess the outcome. We sued, I settled for 150,000$. I get the money any day now. What would you do? What should I do?

I would buy a house if I didn't have one. What are you thinking of doing.

@deebaby1 That sounds like a great plan.

It depends on your needs. Do you have a home? Do you have a car? Do you have a job?

I hope you are okay. Well, I'd purchase another car and saved the rest.

Well I personally would buy a business that I know would do well so that I could be certain I would have a secure future for myself.

I would probably save $100,000 and spend the rest on some new software, games and books.

You have to dispassionately look at all your options because money vanishes pretty quickly if we don't take care. You could invest part of it in an apartment or a house , put away some in the bank deposits and use some for travel..

It's good that you didn't get hurt. And you didn't tell us where you are from so it's hard to know what it worth for you... But if it was me, I would get myself another car (second hand one) then pay all the debts (if I have any)... and leave some in the bank for emergency...

i would build or have built a tiny home and save the rest for medical bills and taxes if you make your tiny home so it cannot be moved the saving of money for medical bills will be needed in the future i fear and if you dont save wisely it might end up short changing yourself
