I just got $15 000, what should I do with it?

First I recommend, be patient.  No need to make any quick decision(s).  Keep an open mind, and listen to suggestions.  Think for yourself then, and you will make the appropriate decision.  Look at your circumstances.  If it is a windfall, and not needed right now, take $10000 of it and find a no-load mutual fund as an investment.  Then leave it alone and your investment ought to double about every 7 years.  That is what us "little" people do.  A no-load fund means, no fees to buy and no charges when you sell later on.  Hold the remaining $5000 and think some more.

HaHa, you'll be lucky.  A small amount like that will earn you almost nothing in any building society or bank.  If its money you dont actually need to live on you'd be better off buying a few premium bonds.  At least with those, even though the chances are millions to one, you might just get something back if your number comes up. But as for any bank or society increasing profit on your investment, you chances of living to 150 are higher!! Sorry but thats how banks make a profit.

***********************************************************\nHopefully you currently own your home now. You can use the equity in your current home as a downpayment on a 2nd home. Use the 1st as a rental. This may mean refinancing your 1st home or getting a 2nd mortgage on it.\n\nI suggest you take your first $15 bucks you can spare, go out and buy the book "The Automatic Millionaire Homeowner" by David Bach. This book alone is more than enough to get you started, even if you don't think you can. You can also check out his website at www.finishrich.com/homeowner\n\nAnd by the way, don't let others tell you it can't be done or they know someone who tried, etc. They have good intentions. They are trying to protect you from disappointment (a feeling they've experienced). So thank them for being caring enough with thier warnings. But explain that what you can really use is thier encouragement and support and that any advice they have that might help you in your efforts would be much appreciated.\n\nDon't give up. And congratulations on your thinking big.\n\nHope this helps. Good luck.\n\n***********************************************************

i would open a Commodity Trading Account and put the money into T-Bills which will earn 4.635% interest.  Property is at a peak now, but T-Bills are a safe investment. on a million dollars every 3 months you will receive $46,350.00 return,  $185,400.00 every year.

lump sum, you would probably get about $150 million.  After taxes, you take about $105 million.

I was able to make $1500 over last summer by doing odd jobs around the neighborhood, i just put up a flier and was able to dog-sit, kid-sit, clean pools, mow lawns, pull weeds and help people move, fix computers.\n\nand remember by saving the money and spending it wisely you can get something you really want, or depending how old you are you may want to save for a car or college.\n\nAs long as you want to make money you can find a way. Theres always someone that need help.

Sell.  It has a lofty valuation.  It will take some time to appreciate.  In the interim I'd go with something with more solid earnings history and growth like Apple.

Pay it, if you cannot afford it try to maintain the interest low by talking with the bank. Or borrow the 14,000 from somebody.

Put money aside, 10% of your gross income. The word "fast" has more than one signification. I suggest to spend the least possible, as in "to fast."

U won the lotery?? Good for you! Go around the wourld buy a big house and a nice car, invest about 500,000 that way if the investment doesn't pay off you'll still have some money, don't spend TOO much on the house though, remeber there will still be water electric gas and security bills, not to mention the dreaded council tax! Give a million to charity, but don't go too wild with your money or before you know it it'll be gone and you will still need to pay out on your other bills! Good luck on your spending! Enjoy yourself! But don't go too mad!

First of all get a long term retirement fund and contribute to it regularly... even just $20 a week. Don't touch that money under any circumstances. Now at the same time start to put money away for short term goals. Don't get into the credit card trap of paying 10-25% interest on things you really don't want or need. Spend less than you earn. Consider the value of your purchases not the wants... concentrate on needs. You have alot of choices as a consumer. Will you be happy driving a 2007 Hyundai for $15,000 or must you have that $34,000 Chrysler??? Do you need a cell phone and a home phone? You can save $30+ by going with one or the other. Do you frequently buy books and magazines that you can get from your local library for free? Are you paying bank fees for checking??? Do you shop around for pricing on purchases before you buy? Do you go out to eat every day at lunch??? It's all about value. The more you spend, the less you'll have. Common sense isn't always common. Read books about millionaires from your library and you'll find ways that you can join those ranks. I am not suggesting you go without treats. Hey, you work hard for your money. What I am saying is not to forget the future because it'll be here before you know it. You don't need a $1,000,000 home. Live within your means and you'll have a much happier life and lifestyle without the worry.
