What would you do if you had $30,000?

[Iceman]

What would you do if you had $30,000? If you suddenly got $30,000 what would you do with it? Put it in the bank, buy a house, get an apartment, buy a car, go to the mall and spend a lot of it, buy tons of clothes, buy a pool or pool table, pay off credit card bills if you have them, go to college, buy stocks or bonds, start a business, etc. Would it even have an impact in your life if you got $30,000 or would things remain the same?


I would probably put it in the Bank (Money Market Savings Account), buy an I Bond, maybe a few stocks.

I would pay off my bills .and then put the rest in the bank/


thanks rlb 147

I have no bills and am still in high school, so I think I would probably buy a car. Oh and a guitar. I've always wanted to learn and I have a friend who is pretty good and he says he'll teach me, so yeah, I would do that first. Then I would go buy a Mustang. Maybe a used one, so I would have money leftover and I could put it into my college fund.

[tysontomko]

I wouldn't tell the government first!
Second of all I have to think it a little more!!

[Ivan Putski]

i would buy 1 million pieces of bazooka joe gum at 3 cents each. damn i love those comics....will bazooka joe ever learn

actually i woke up one morning with 33,000 in my account and bought stocks with it. they went up to 42'000 in 6 months so i sold them put a down payment on a pizza place and the rest is history

[Iceman]

Bazooka Joe Gum, ok, nice original idea, if that would make you happy then why not. No, Jiggs will never learn, or I mean Bazooka Joe.

Sorry....really you put all the $33,000 in stocks? Talk about a gamble, what stocks did you buy and did somebody tell you about them? Cool it worked for you.

[Ivan Putski]

yeah, merrill lynch.
disney, boeing,first union(r.i.p.),and schlumberger (shlum-ber-zhay)
disney went from 33 to 42 but its been way down since around $22 boeing went way down after 9/11 too, but is back up. schlumberger is way up now at least double 5 years ago.

[Iceman]

Huh, that's pretty cool, did you just study stocks back then and liked them or somebody told you about them? Yeah, all stocks went down after 911. I didn't know you were into stocks, you still have some now?

I've made over $1,200 profit in Sirius Satalite Stocks. I have 338 shares of it now. I told a few about it when I used to sent e-mail on Stocks a year ago. Ohler ended up getting some too. I have UPL which is an Oil company, I made $900 on that stock so far with just 28 shares of it, it split like a month ago which was great so it doubled my stocks in it (from 14 to 28). I have other stocks as well.

i study a little. there are are few out there that are always going to be a good investment. the best of them all is berkshire hathaway, but the investment is steep. berk b is about 25,000 a share and berk a is about 200,000 a share. they are an investment group headed by warren buffet. that dude knows his ish.

[Jake the Snake]

Lol, you sound like Al Bundy on Married with Children. Well if you ever come back to Wrestling Jake and get $30,000, good luck trying to hide it from them.

[Blackjack Ketchum]

I have no idea...get it? and iceman i have a feeling this question was directed at me... hmmmmmm?

[Iceman]

Lol, no it wasn't actually, but it could be helpful advise, who knows.

Oh, and when all else fails with what to do (and in life in general) simply ask Lessman, he always has all the right answers and even real life experiences to back it up.

[Ivan Putski]

if you can find lessman. still not a good idea though. he is so good he would charge you $30,000 for the investment advice, so you'd be broke anyway. always keep in mind wwjcd. he would probably use it to buy the fastest bike ever so he could steal more bikes and never get caught.or just buy crack

[Ivan Putski]

i change my answer. if i had $30,000 i would drive over to blackjack ketchum's house and give him a big hug because i miss him so much. i would keep the money though.
whats up blackjack? haven't heard from you in a while. how about them cowboys?
