How would you spend it?

Imagine that you just inherited $50,000. What would you do with it? Be specific (not, "buy a car" but "buy a 2009 Lincoln Town Car with special rims, etc." If necessary do internet research to see if you can actually buy this thing with the money you inherited. If you want to save the money (for college, for instance) specify what you are saving for.

  1. I would give it to the people in haiti to rebuild homes, build shelter, daycare, & schools so that the children would still be able to still go to school.

  2. If I were to inherit $50,000 I would take a portion, about $15,000 and save it for college. I would give the remaining money to my parents, because throughout my life they were the ones who supported me and paid for me to go to school and buy my necesities. I would put money in the bank, so that in time I can gain more and more money. Or 'invest'.

  3. What would do with 50,000 dollars? Let's see... I'd probably use some of the money to help my mom buy a better (and bigger)house for me and my brothers and sisters. Once I'm done with that i'd probably buy some of those 199.00 head phones I really REALLY like, and the rest would just go to my emergency savings fund so in case of an Emergency my family would have money to use.

  4. I would probably save it for college since edu. comes first. Pay- classes, books,etc. Anything left from the money would be spent on a free admition at Boomers for 1 year.

  5. I don't think that being the age I am I would be able to make spend the money in the best way just yet. First, I would give it to my parents where they would take out any amount of money they would need to pay bills, then save the rest for me and put it in a bank account. I can't imagine spending it all on jst me, so maybe I would find a charity to donate some of it to, or help someone out that I know.

  6. If i would have this money i would either save it and keep it safe untill i needed it for something necessary. Such as college or buying a house in the future. If i would use it for college i would use it for Wyotech or UTI. They both have to do with Auto Mechanics and it wouldnt be so expensive and it wouldnt take up all of the $50,000 so i would save the rest for when i need it in the future.
