what would you do with 100k

I might inherit 100k. I'm thinking about starting a business. Possibly a vegan restaurant. I'm looking for ideas or investment opportunities.

I wouldn't buy a restaurant nor would I buy a car with the money. Invest in things that will appreciate not depreciate.

The first thing I would do is share it with my buddy Green 33. Hopefully he would do the same thing with me.

Hopefully you have experience in that industry, it's not as easy as the average person thinks.

lots of traveling, drugs, and hookers for me

Save it for the future and don't change anything.

Build a couple of websites that produce a residual income from ads.

Sounds simple... The hardest part is content. So few people get content is King and without new content posted daily the site will fail.

The trick is having a site where the visitors provide the content.

Buy houses by a Univeristy/College. IMO it's the best investment there is.

Forget about starting a business. Put it in a fidelity account & continue at your job. Don't spend any of it. It'll be there when you really need it.

Buy a home and rent it out. You'll get back end appreciation on the home because you're buying at a market low which eventually will improve, and you'll have monthly cash flow from the rent.

Gamble with it all.. 

thanks for all the answers guys I now have an idea of what I can do with the money

A restaurant would be cool if you know how to run one or want to own one or have some experience in one. Having a car is also necessary if you don't have one already.

$100K should not be a life changing event.  Although it's a sizable sum, it's quite frankly too small an investment into a restaurant.  You'd need deeper pockets for that endeavor.

If you need a car, buy one that is 2 or 3 years old with low mileage.  Then you have already avoided about 50% of the depreciation.

Low risk investments.  You can't get hurt with any precious metals in this economy.

Don't do anything STUPID.

Restaurant = Bad Idea
Vegan Restaurant = Very Bad Idea

It all depends what your current income is and what your assets/debt situation is.  When my father in law died 2 years ago he left 100 to my wife and 100 to her brother through a life insurance policy.  We really didn't need it for anything so we put most toward our mortgage (at the time we were paying 5.75%) and kept some for a rainy day fund which we recently spent on doing reonnovations to our new house.  My brother in law on the other hand has pissed all his away and really has nothing to show for it which is exactly what the majority of this site would do.  

Put it in a safe investment for your retirement and maybe stash 10k into a savings account for emergencies.  I wouldn't start thinking big because 100k can be pissed away real fast.

I would settle up with all of the bookies I've stiffed. Few thousand left over for a Carnival cruise.

Bet half

Save half

'Nuff said

loan it out for 15%

I don't have a college education. I live off waiting tables. I own everything I have including my car which will last me a couple more years. I live with my sister for the time being and she feeds me. I don't do drugs or party. I'm thinking about stashing 5k, putting the rest a fidelity account.
