$100,000

[elaneo]

What would you do with $100,000 if you won that amount?

Invest it and watch it grow?
Open an optical?
Shop with all of it?
Any other ideas?

[PhotonicGuy]

A part of this amount I would invest and the rest I would use to travel around the world with my family.

- Pay off the last small portion of my student loans
- Shop around for a new house
- Put a certain amount away for protection if I do my PHD
- Invest the rest

[ih8wlmrt]

pay off every penny the business owes- close up shop and take a couple of years off enjoy life a little.

[braheem24]

You dont need money to close up shop, in fact quite the opposite.

Hope it works out for you, if I can be of any help I'm a few hours away.

Best of luck.

[opticianbart]

Open an optical shop of course!

[Uncle Fester]

Spend most of it on wine,women and song.

The rest I'd spend foolishly.

[DragonLensmanWV]

Pay off my house, my credit cards, my daughter's student loans. Buy a Pepsi with what's left over.

At least after doing all of that, that Pepsi will probably feel like the best Pepsi you've ever had :D

None of you have calculated the amount of taxes that you would hane to pay. Probably around $50,000.00

Pay off my student loans and small credit card debt. Invest a bunch. Take my dad and stepmom on a trip.

Good point baker! In my original post I meant at as pure as can be. $100k no strings attached in your pocket. I thought someone would bring that up sooner or later :)

Feel a little more secure! Pay debts, open saving accounts for my Grand Kids, have FUN!!

[HarryChiling]

Donate 10% to National Center for Children and Families (My charity of choice) help my brother in law with a down payment on a home. Dig my sister in law out of a situation. Whatever's left would go towards my mortgage, a bottle of rum and a cigar.

I'd trade in my 2001 minvan for a 2002.

[optical24/7]

I'd give it to Johns' son so he could finally afford that extra sprinkle of milk on his cereal in the morning.....

Yep, right between the front seat, under the napkins that substitute for Klneenex. Why buy them when they're free?

No, Johns won't buy him any candy bars!:bbg::bbg:

[rbaker]

I am quite surprised by the responses to this question. No respondants have indicated that they would continue their education. Do you really want to be in the same financial position ten years down the road? I think it's a pretty sad comentary.

You are so crazy Johns!

I already have an education bought and paid for. I make more money being an Optician than I ever could with my degree. Plus, I cannot IMAGINE having to write a paper or cram for an exam at 50! LOL!

Uhh, I did. Not that it will put me in a better financial position. I just like to teach at that level.
