Not very exciting, but I'd probably put it towards a small house I could pay off quickly.

Alas! they had been friends in youth;
But whispering tongues can poison truth;
And constancy lives in realms above;
And life is thorny; and youth is vain;
And to be wroth with one we love
Doth work like madness in the brain.
Coleridge "Christabel" lines 408-13

I'd be smarter than I was last time it happened.
I'd spend about 20,000 of it right up front on all the piddly stuff I've been depriving myself of for years. I'd put about 60,000 in the highest interest-bearing account I could find, and live off the other 20,000 for the next year while I looked for a job.
After I had both a job and an income from the 60,000 (albeit small), I'd go back to school and get a couple of degrees.
And now that I've read the Wog Town thread, I'd probably move back to Arizona and go live out in the desert in Queen Valley again. Closest thing to paradise I think I've ever experienced. Just me, a house, my family, couple of cars, couple of Enduros, a gun safe bigger than my refrigerator, and basically the freedom to go out to the spillway and shoot whatever I want, WHENever I want.
Yeah...

Finish school, become a Nationally certified EMT in the states, move to Montana, buy a holster.
That's if it was $100 000. if it was a million, Space program!

I'd buy a small farm, totally pay it off. Then I'd put what we had been paying for rent into things like solar power, & etc, until our little farm was closer to self-sufficient.

That's what I wear my Glock in. S Move to montana is still up in the air for me. This primarily hinges on the first couple years of Lord Obama's reign, versus the atmosphere in Canada. But I'm gonna fight and claw my way through school, and then see what I can do about becoming certified in the states. |

think i would buy a good space of forest land that i could build a cabin on with an underground shelter. fortify, pack with food, fuel, water and supplies. and set up a nice campsite for revenue.

I'd buy land, build a house, start a small business, and/or get me some gold.

yea well, ive been looking for cheap land in bc now for about a year. i thought i found a sweet 10acres for 8grand, but it was taken before i had a chance to look at it.
i think buyin gold is silly, but thats just me. a guy cant sleep in gold, or eat gold.
still lookin for land. hopefully next year when the housing market crashes 30% i can buy something...
finding cheap is hard here... i have been considering saskatchewan... undecided.
peace

When you have a shit ton of fiat money that isn't worth squat...and you have the same amount invested in a precious metal, such as gold...I'm sure you'll rethink the silliness. |

I'm not a fan of gold either. I totally understand what you are saying, but I think if it got bad enough that the fiat was entirely useless, people would be too poor/unwilling to exchange for it. You can't eat gold. I buy things at this moment, primarily medical supplies, guns and ammo. why? they will always be useful, always be in demand, you will always be able to trade em, and they may just save your life. That said, I know people who have alot of gold, in the tens of thousands of dollars, so maybe they see something I'm missing. |
