Give a list in order of importance of what you would do with $250,000 if someone just gave it to you.?

Answer 1

Tithe, pay off debts, bank the rest.

Answer 2

Pay off all my bills. ($80,000, including car note and other non-real estate loans). Frankly, if you add my house, that would use all of it, but if you don't include my house, here is the rest of my list I would go down until I ran out of money:

Seeing how I am a formally very hot woman now trapped in a very, very chubby body, I would hire a top notch personal trainer and drop some serious weight ($15,000 is a guess for one year of daily fat burning and a little nip/tucking). This would immediately boost my energy level and my ego (higher than it already is, LOL.)

Give some money to parents ($5,000)

Put a lump sum amount into my retirement account. ($50,000)

Put a lump sum into my daughter's college fund. ($50,000)

Replace the roof and windows on my house. ($25,000)

Donate some money to a favorite charity. ($5000)

Buy a luxury used car in cash (one of our cars is 10 years old). ($20,000)

Could you tell I already had a list, LOL?

I didn't say the "thank you" and "praying for spending contraint" thing because that is a given.

Answer 3

1. Set my Granny up nice. (She currently tries to live on a Social Security check of $708.00 a month...yet everyday she's cooking up food for people "less fortunate than her")

2. Buy a motor home with a cute little vehicle of some kind pulled on the back and hit the road!!!

3. Invest a portion to generate more cash.

4. The rest I won't know until the time comes.....see where the biggest need is.

Answer 4

I would pay bills, fixing my credit in the process. Which would then allow me to refinance my loans car mortgage at a lower rate. Bingo instant lower payments. I would talk to my friend, who owns several apt buildings and have him help me invest in real estate. I would have around $100,00.00 left which i would separate into emergency fund, an account to cover expenses from the real estate, and then buy stocks ,blue chips . I'll talk to an investment advisor to try to buy companies that pay dividends. I could reinvest part,all or none of these divedends depending if i needed any of the money in income.Next year take some of the money my money has made for me in the form of interest and take the family to anice vacation

Answer 5

Funny you ask, that happened to me yesterday. I paid off all of my debts and am giving a big chunk to charity. The rest is being invested to take care of my mother and my children. I won't shop at stores that ask for your phone number when you buy something because I don't want those people listening in on my phone calls to find out where I've hidden the money. And I really don't want alens probing my brain when I talk on my cell phone. They'll do more than just take the money.

Answer 6

Bank it until I could decide how I came across such a windfall. You see,I'd be in shock for a while so would be unable to think clearly.
After the shock wears off I'd pay off my credit cards and then
buy a modest 2 bedroom raft foundation bungalow for myself and my disabled partner (yes, he is really disabled).
I would definitely send the donor a bunch of beautiful flowers and a 'Thank You' card.
