DrewS | How should I use $100,000? |
I'm working really hard to save up $100,000 in five years so I can quit my job and make it on my own working for myself. I'm smart, educated, and hard working. The problem is, I don't know where I should start. I've considered real estate and the stock market, but neither of these really appeal to me. I'm looking for some ideas and suggestions. I know no one will know the perfect thing for me because I did not mention interests and strengths, but I'm just testing the water for some ideas! Thanks! |

100k isn't much...
how much do you need to live on? think that minus start up costs and estimate to the high side since it takes a while to get a business up and going and suddenly you'll see that 100k disappear.
and stocks?? even if you leverage 2x1 on margin and manage a 20% return you'll only have 40k before taxes to live on without growing your nest egg.
if you think you can get more than 20% consistantly you're kidding yourself.
real estate? very tough market to get into right now... hard to flip a house with so many already sitting on the market...
Find out what you enjoy doing... learn all you can about an area... then figure out what is needed... whether its recreation or work... then use you're 100k to develop the product/service and market it...
But no one on answers can tell you what that is...
good luck. |

If you buy 2-4 unit apartments, you could build positive cash flow . With 100k you could probably buy a bunch - ($20k each for down pmt, closing and fixup costs) and then build from there |

smart, educated, and hard working...... sounds like success is inevitable :O) ..... lucky you!! :O)
in my opinion, the best kind of business is one that has a high survivability rate in all kinds of economy. something that does not need your physical presence to run. something than you can stop for a period of time if you wanted to for whatever reason.
i've though it over long and hard for years..... and i think it boils down to just 2 options (for me at least) :
- short/medium term forex trading
- short/medium term options trading
i think i don't have to talk about the obvious risks in both of them. if you want to know, you might want to post a new question about them :O)
anyway, you might ask why forex and options? well.... i really liked the fact that these 2 methods allows the investor to "long" or "short" the market very easily. ie. one can buy-low-then-sell-high or sell-high-then-buy-low. in that respect, an astute investor will be able to benefit from both a bearish or bullish market. you will not be tied down by market cycles that the stocks and property markets tend to follow.
that said, it's critical to invest in a good education in options and forex trading. finding a good mentor is also crucial. consider it your shortcut to success as you'll be learning from those who have been-there-done-that and knows what works and what don't.
these 2 investment vehicles should be able to give you very good returns. with 100K, earning a comfortable 5K p.m. should be achievable. of course you should also know that high rate of returns also comes with high risks.
so... with 5 years ahead of you to prepare, i would suggest focusing on your investment education for now. spend a couple of hundred on a speed-reading course if you like..... it should come in handy if you intend to read some of those fantastic investment books out there.
...and like the others mentioned..... when you have enough assets in cash, consider investing into property that can generate a positive cash flow / passive income.
all the best!! |

Start a recruiting agency. All you need is some computers, phones and a databse to store resumes and companys in. If you place a candidate at a company then you get between 20 and 30 percent of their annual salary. Hire some just out of school kids and have them hit the phones. No need to spend money on inventory, it's just the upfront expense. Look in to it... It was a blast during the dotcom days. |

it's OK if real estate and the stock market doesn't appeal to you because they are bad places to invest right now. I personally won't touch real estate for another 5 years. The stock market - I would wait and see what happens the rest of this year. The down trend could go on for a year.
Now, if you're hard working, perhaps you would enjoy working for yourself in your own business. All you have to do is decide on is what you like to do and whether that business idea is sound (make money). Obviously if the competition is high or the customers are few then the business will have a hard time. But the businesses that make it or succeed is the ones where the owner really believes in what he is doing. So take a look at your interests. |

Don't spend it willy-nilly on the stock market and on the lottery. Spend it on something you could really use! Buy a car or something. |
