    if i had $150000 it would not only completely change my life but the lives of my wife(who is disabled) and my four children.


    I would pay off my house,my student loans,bank loans,my lawyer and my dad who has loaned me  money to help me keep my house and get custody of my son.I am so stressed out,angry and depressed that i wake up every morning with no hope,wondering why i even woke up,wondering when this nightmare will end.so if i had $150000 i would buy back my sanity so i could be a better husband and father and i would make sure that i never got in debt ever again!!!!!!!!!

    OK, OK, we all know about the shopping spree that some hockey mom took recently, but that discussion rightly belongs in PO. KEEP POLITICS IN PO, NOT HERE.

    My question to you is, if you had $150,000, what would you do with it?


    There are really two questions here:

    1) If you were given $150,000 to spend as you wished, how would you spend it?
    2) If you were being treated to $150,000 to spend on yourself, how would you?

    I will wait a while before posting my own answers in order to not guide this one way or another.

    Wow. Easy. I'd use $100,000 for a 2nd-hand Gallardo. The rest would go into work/life = change my regular car to a hybrid or Tesla, daily expenses, sustainability (bokashi/ solar/ greywater, carbon offset (especially for the Gallardo though it would be a weekend car) etc. Workwise I would take an intern and pay them $30/hour for 20-30 hours a month, to basically invest and give back to the community through skills training for people my in my state (as in the land, not my "state of mind").

    First I would spend $10K on some kickass Mac gear.


    Then plan how to invest in a business (not stocks, etc.) that I am involved in to grow that $140,000 that remains at about 10% per month (possible, depending on the business invested)...


    Would you like me to provide you my PayPal address so that we may kickstart this process? <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/1cool.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Shades">
    <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/1biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Big Grin">


    Wow. Reflecting on this post from the end of 2008... I now have enough Mac gear... 2010 MBP 13" with SSD and 8GB RAM, 27" LED Cinema Display, iPad3, iPhone4S... Wasn't quite $10k, and it's more than enough for now.

    Hmm... Business... I am freelancing now. I have financial targets but the vision and values are more important.

    So, I might actually be on my way! Maybe when I revisit this thread in 5 years time I might already have my Gallardo.

    For $150000, you'd have a hard time completing #1.  certainly not 1 + 2 ... nevermind 3 - 6.


     


    me?... I'd consider it college for my kids. (well... part of their college costs anyhow.)
