    Pay off my bills and mortgage. Get some major house repairs done. Buy a car less than 25 years old. Maybe one more than 60 years old too. Surprise a very helpful neighbor.

    Sadly, $200k in the UK doesn't go very far. I would pay off what little debt I have, go on one nice holiday, then use the rest to buy a house. Would probably account for maybe 1/3 - 1/2 of a standard house. 


    Alternatively, I might take the opportunity to go back into education. $200k is more than enough to pay for a second degree / masters and might allow me to enjoy more of life in the future, so definitely worth thinking about.

    Buy a house and car- maybe it will stay about $50k on my account after that.

    Why the 4c when you can get the all new Giulia. Fastest production sedan in the world.

    Yet you would but a trailer home and a truck. Oh, the irony.


    ok 
    one moves just me around (a car) and the other moves everything I own around. If I just want to move me around I would rather do that with a bicycle, foot, or motorcycle thank you

    What I own is in the house I also own. I only need my car to travel.
    To each his own, whatever others do with their money is nobody's business ;)
    I agree with that.

    I dont agree with the ironical point.

    anyway...I was just saying I hate cars is all

    I'd invest it (like I actually have done for over 25 years now) in a diverse mix of AAA financially rated companies with market caps of over 1 billion. I'd judiciously spend my dividends and some of my windfall capital gains as the years passed. And then finally, I'd sadly shake my head no as many of my "spend it" type friends came to me in later life begging for loans.

    200,000 isn't very much.

    I'd probably invest 150K, then use the last 50K as windfall while I get into contracting.

    Would probably spend 200,000 dollars worth on video games and immediately regret the decision
  • CleffyCleffy Member RarePosts: 6,414
    Better yet, put in a pre-order for Star Citizen for $200k.
