What would you buy to spend $40,000

Only if I get to go to. lol

@velvet53 Actually I have no idea yet since I have not been able to hold that much money yet, But I have a lot in my mind. It could not buy me a house yet. Maybe a car we can have already by that amount and maybe trips here and abroad would be good also.... I am confused what I really would want.

@rsa101 It is hard to decide what to do with that amount of money

What would you do with that money?

It is';t for me unfortuntaly. It is my friend. She has a nice vehicle right now.

@JohnRoberts — at the gas mileage I got on these road trips? I’ll not call you Shirley.

Besides Stephen would be jealous of the interloper.

@LadyDuck That is a good idea. Thanks fo the heads up on that.

Diamond could de-value. Even with GIA, many won't buy at estimated value. How about 24K Gold :)

@infatuatedbby 24K Gold also devalue, diamonds devalue if you mount them into a ring, keep the diamond in the sealed package with the certificate and it keeps its value. You can keep with you a small diamond in case of need, you cannot move "pounds of gold".

The money has to be spent on you only. It has to be items that you could use personally.

@crazyhorseladycx I so wish I had the power to grant that.

@velvet53 hmm, new fencin' 'd be fer me personally sort'a. sure'd make life easier fer me anyhow 'n the horses 'd be happy to get their lil pastures back. or, i'd pay somebody to fix my fallin' 'part 'bode 'n pond. then 'gain, i could spend those funds'n fix mamaw's lil house (needs new plumbin'/septic system, electric, roof, sidin', windows, etc, 't least $40,000 'd be a down payment, lol). i could turn such 'nto my studio :)

I can relate with that. I wouldn't even know where to start if I had that kind of money.

@porwest I am not a big shopper so I wouldn't have to worry about that. Saving it would be the smartest way to go.

@velvet53 I'd start by not spending it. Probably why I DO have that kind of money.

@velvet53 We are trying to get it paid off before retirement--so I keep paying more than the monthly payment--each month--sigh

@divalounger That is good. You know what you are doing. My husband, well ex husband and now deceased couldn't believe how much I had paid ahead on both of the properties we had. When we divorced we both agreed to keep our wills as they were. I kept my word but he didn't so I got nothing.

That is not boring but wise my dear. It is a great and smart way to spend it.When you pay ahead on your mortgage it knocks a lot of the interest off. Been there and done that.

So far you are the only one to mention what you can and can't spend it on. This is the main factor. Real estate is one thing thqat can be bought.

@CookieMonster46 That would be a great way to spend the money.

@velvet53 well that is what I would do then, a very small place, as an investment, I am just thinking that here everything is so high, but the further, you move to the country it is cheaper. So I could get something.

It has to be spent on you only.

@wolfgirl569 Now that is great. What kind would you get?

@velvet53 Then a new truck.

You have some great ideas.

Those are great ways to spend the money.

@velvet53 Thanks. I don't have any debt, so I don't need to pay off any bills, which is a blessing.

You are a sweetheart thinking about your mom and grandma first. God bless you.

Young man you have brought me to tears in a good way. Not many people your age thinks about the people in your lie that has helped you become the person you are. May God always bless you.

@velvet53 They deserve it they have given me the world and they deserve the world in return

That would be good. They have a lot of potential.

@velvet53 I don't have to monetize it. I can just live there.

@mrki444 Good way to look at it.

That would be fun.

@velvet53 exactly

@Starkinds I think I might do just that.

Oh me golly let's go.I would love a cruise.

@cperry2 Where would you go on your cruise?

@velvet53 oh, I'd love to.

@velvet53 I could also use some foundation repair on the house. However that while thing might prove to be too anxiety provoking..so I might just stick with the above

Whoppe You think like I do.

@snowy22315 Repairs on the foundation might be a plus.

The money has to be spent on you only. Things like a vehicle, furniture, improvements to your home, clothes, all that kind of stuff.

@infatuatedbby What kind of car would you get?

@velvet53 Ohhh mmmmmmm, I would probably buy a new car and the rest toward home renovations!

That would be a lot of fun. What kind of car would you get?

@MainerMikeBrown That is a good choice. I drive a Grand Am and sometimes drive my sons Sierra which has a high rise in it. I do have fun with that truck.

@velvet53 The kind of car I'd get would be something sporty and something safe in case of an accident.

Can I fit in your suit case? lol

@BelleStarr Ok let's go.

@Those are great ways to spend the money. I wish I could grant everyone their wishes.

What did you come up with?

@velvet53 That's worth a two-story house with a nice garden, a sports car and college education funds for 2 kids and 3 nephews. ;)

That is a super ide. Can I come and swim

@PainsOnSlate Thanks, it would e nice to meet you.

@velvet53 Certainly you can come over when ever you want!
