Pretend someone said to you, here's $100,000, it is yours, but in order to keep it, you must have earned an additional amount of money at the end of one year. No specifics on the amount, just have more than the original $100,000. What would you invest the money in, to earn the additional money?

I would probably invest the money in a new agricultural project that would benefit and improve the planet! Something that would be rewarding to the world, but would also be profitable in that say so many things were harvested and had made money on. Something that I would feel rewarded at starting or helping to get off the ground, of course I wouldn't want the money in the first place, and any more I made would go back into farming.

..Ht Somecowgirl, Hope you are doing well. That sounds like a great idea. Something that would give you a return on your investment as well as help the environment. You caught my attention when you said you would not want the money anyway, quite interesting. We need creative thinkers like you, to get thinks started to help improve the planet, especially in the farming area. Doing something to save more of the crops during draughts and such. Thanks for your response. Take care.

I can't say that my first thought wasn't to keep it, but If I were to it would only be for bad things I'd be afraid, so I'd rather it go to good then to bad.

....SomeCowgirl, You now have stimulated my interest in what bad things you would do with the money :o) :o). You don't have to specify what bad things, but would these things just be bad because you would be using the money for yourself, or are we talking bad because the money would not be used to help the general better good?
If you don't care to expound further, that's quite alright. Sorry for my curiosity.
Thanks if you do answer. Take care.

Hi artistry...I've misled you, sorry. I'm a volunteer driver. I take clients where they need to go and receive a generous car allowance. When I say I have a job, it's a trip and it is money in the bank for me. I've had one trip/job this year so far.

....Hi there MsTickle, How's the new job going? I hope well. The bank term deposit would be a safe investment without having to worry about losing any of your principal. Stocks, if it were longer than a year would perhaps provide more income on the investment, but one year could cause you to maybe lose some of your principal, which would not work. Credit unions may be paying decent interest as well. Take it easy. Thanks for your response.
