If you had $500,000 tax free right now..

What would you do?

I would have to say I would finish fixing and maybe add about 5-10k into my truck and make it into something sweet. Then I would buy another 95 GSX and make spend about 10k on it and have some fun on the drag strip and the rally cross courses.

with about 20k in fun toys I would definatly buy a house with a 3-4 car garage for Jana and I. Probably spend about 300k on the house. Nothing to big, but a nice sized garage.

So that is about 320k down. I would take about 80k and have Jana buy a car or 2 she has always wanted. Probably the BMW she has wanted and then another of her choice which would probably be another fun sporty newer car and tailor it to her tatste.

So with 100K left I would probably use half of it to get married and make it as perfect as I could for Jana. Probably a 2 or 3 month honeymoon traveling all over the world! And with the other half I would try to get another business going of some sort. Or go back to school full time and not have to worry about all the debt.

Now looking back at that and spending some tiem thinking about all of it it make me realize you can do alot with 500K.

What would everyone else do?
