What I would do with 100,000 tax free dollars?
 

This is pure fantasy at this point, but the first thing I'd do is find the best (the most reliable and the most trustworthy) medical specialists on the planet to rid my immediate family of most/all of our medical problems. Then, well...we would have more choices on how to proceed.

How about you?

Unfortunately, I think $100,000 wouldn't get you very far with the best medical specialists on the planet.

I'd probably do something like this. I'm boring.

Sorry, John, $100,000 wouldn't get close, it doesn't even matter what the medical problems are. Forget my parents and siblings; forget all our other health issues; me and my two kids cost an average of $7500 per year on preventative colonoscopies alone. Don't get me started on the cousin in his 30s who actually did come back positive for colon cancer a few years back. Medical costs in this country are truly unfathomable to most people who don't bother looking at their insurance statements.

And yeah, we're boring. It would be investment and savings all the way.

Maybe he meant 100,000 million? Seeing as it's a dreaming question. Our medical bills reach $100,000 before the end of January each year -that amount wouldn't even buy a house in the shittiest part of town.

But why tax free? If you're getting so much money you can cure uncurable diseases etc, why not chip in a little for society?

If we came into and unimaginable amount of money right now, I think we'd be hitting the bucket list, as well as investing to make the future a little easier for the sprogs.

I'M OUT!

That wouldn't have happened if you had put some aside for a rainy day.

My son Dan's bills were over 2 million in just the first 6 months after his accident.

I'd spend it.

What am I saving for? The future?

Hah!

Maybe stock up the bar with the good stuff.

My apologies yet again.

Anyway, I'm not interested in "rainy day" funds. I'm interested in ridding myself of this Ataxic Cerebral Palsy curse that was placed upon me at birth 46 years ago, ridding my mom of her Motor Aphasia inflicted upon her 2 years ago after having brain surgery to remove a malignant tumor (there were complications), and ridding my step-dad of his various medical issues; and since we all have Medicare, they'll most likely help pay for it. Then, I'd buy my parents a nice house wherever the choose. Lastly, I'd buy a car, get a job, and rent an apartment in a major metropolitan area that provides a reliable high-speed internet connection and DirecTV for myself.

I might have to raise my monetary provisions to, say, 2 million?

I would pay off my car and credit cards. Then save the rest for one of my frequent rainy days.

I would buy an Ultra Glide Harley and travel around the country in all the best seasons. BUT before I left I would tell my wife and her relatives to kiss my ass.

100k? I'd pay for two years of college for one of my kids.

I'd make a lot of peoples lives a little better.

And what's wrong with making mine and my family's better first. See post #9.

To clarify, this is not a thread about what anyone would do with the money, it's a thread about what you would do with the money.
