What would you do if you were single, no debt, and had a year's pay in the bank?

[JEDI]

Name something extraordinary that you would do.

And/or what kind of extraordinary jobs would you persue?

I'd travel the world for a while, but not run myself completely out of money.

I'd do exactly what I'm doing now... work.

I like to think this is what I would do, but I'd probably spend it on a 2007 Ford Mustang GT 500 Shelby. I'm stupid that way.

[gonzaga1751]

get two years pay in the bank, take half of the first year's pay investing, half of the half that is left of first year's pay and put in saving, take second year's pay and travel, win the wsop, live where ever the f*** you want, etc.

 

[skyking]

I'd take one of these and fly all over here.

 

[ManSnake]

I would bet everything on black.

 

[OS]

sit on it, so that next time economy takes a dump, buy houses and cars on the cheap.

 

[Eli]

Nothing, keep saving it up.

 

[bigrash]

I'd take a month long vacation in one continent. either go everywhere in europe, asia or africa

 

[Ameesh]

i am in this position right now (about two years of pay) and i am buying as much real estate as i can

 

[alkemyst]

a year's pay is a highly variable thing. Even at the median income for the US, you won't have that much

being single or not is not really an issue. Being young would be....having $50k in the bank at 18 or so is a lot different than at 65.

debt would only be an issue if it sapped you monthly income.

Personally I'd need a lot more at 34 years old to make decisions for life changes. A years pay is nice and all but I am not about to blow that now.

If I did win a million bucks, I would probably take a 3-6 month leave and travel. Free money.

This vacation would be to sample what kind of retirement I want to shoot for.

My wife and I just moved back to the states after three years working overseas tax free and I figured out that we could realistically live for between 5 and 6 years without working or hitting any of the investments. What do we do when we get back? Take a week off and get jobs.

 

[Rage187]

Europe



I would spend more then a couple days back in Amsterdam.

Rent out the room above the "Blue Velvet"

 

[everman]

Max out all of my retirement funds and invest it properly.

 

[spidey07]

I would go out and make some friends and meet people.

Or buy a boat and do the same.

 

[imported_malcontent]

Take a couple of months off, and travel. Do it while you can.

 

[RichieZ]
