You have just bought some tickets because one day you

 

 

 

could win a great prize. You put the tickets away, and dont mention them

 

 

 

for a few weeks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Suddenly, you hear the doorbell ring. You open the door and you see a

 

 

 

man saying: Congratulations! You have won our $50.000 cash prize!

 

 

 

You are stunned, suddenly you remember those tickets you put away somewhere. Luckily, you find them and you proove you're the winner.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My point is: What would you buy with 50.000 dollars? (or euros)

 

 

 

Buy something you allways wanted?

 

 

 

Keep it on your bank account for later?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Id buy a digital camera right away (an expensive one :) ) and keep the rest, for later.

Pay off college loans, then invest the rest for my masters.

Pay for my university loans, pay for my masters, buy a motorbike, buy another computer (with Apple 30" monitor), save the rest for a house.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wish I could do that. My college loans total about $35,000.

No idea. I think probably buy the rainforest. (There was an ad on the tube a while ago which said buy an acre of it for ̢̮â¬Å¡Ãâã10! Buy 100 and get to name it... :wink: And I would let it pay for a trip to Macchu Picchu in the far future... :wink:

Well since I'm a Brit I assumed ̢̮â¬Å¡Ãâã50,000. But that's because stuff is more expensive here too. My loans are around ̢̮â¬Å¡Ãâã10,000 and a masters fee is ̢̮â¬Å¡Ãâã3,500 and then there's living expenses on top of that.

I think I'd put it away and try and live frugally on what I had before. Saying that, I'm sure I'd spend a bit of it. Probably on ... Ooo, some sort of guitar. Asside from that, I think that, since I'm coping with money OK at the moment, and having lots of money can't actually improve my current standard of living (which is restricted by accomodation and spare time, not money), I might as well see if I can make that money more worthwhile in the distant future.

dump it in a high intrest account and live off that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Haha, you couldn't live off the interest on that...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

First of all, high interest accounts might offer as much as 10% annual interest - that's $5k per year - not much to live on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Secondly, they generally mean you can't access your money until a certain time.

In a cardboard box, maybe...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In like 20 years you would have made 50,000 off of the interest. In that time, my job would have made me close to 1.4 million dollars...out of that I would have spent so much on house mortgage, food, family, my kid's college that I would only have maybe 2-5000 in a bank account.

I'd use it to pay for college and medical school. ^_^
That concept scares me. Kayla with a knife :ohnoes:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'd throw it in the bank, minus about 10K for my car and pc. Actually, make that about 15K on both of them.

Is 'K' a proper unit for thousand? I always thought it referred to gold, which isn't measure the same as money isn't it?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

k= kilo

 

 

 

kilo= thousand

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I guess it works? :-k

With 50,000 Pounds, which is about $100,000, no? I'd set some up in a college account, soup myself up with an enormous Ipod, donate like $10,000 to charity, and probably put some in the bank. I'd leave around 1,000 for the Wii when it comes out.

The code in my sig should say 1032 not 0132.

:-k Hmm time to consult Wiki!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In gold, K is the abbreviation for karat (in the American spelling).

 

 

 

In accounting and investment banking, K = 1000 (similar to the use in the SI system below).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In Canada, K stands for Eastern Ontario.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

:? :| Huh?
