If you suddenly had $75,000 and no job. How would you make that money work for you?
Buying real estate would be great but generally $75,000 doesn't buy a whole house and lenders don't give $200,000 loans to people who are not currently employed...

I would keep probably about 20,000 for rent or mortgage, utilities, food, and anything you need during the time you will not be working and looking for the next job. I would take the other 55,000 and invest it in a brokerage account (mutual funds, mostly all stocks).....in the long run you will definitely make out, earning on average about 10% I am guessing.

Invest, invest, invest!

I would use the money to get a higher education and find a good job. Lots of money after that.

Invest.

That's just over 6k each month. Subtracting rent/mortgage, utilities, food, clothing, etc and that amount won't last much longer than a year or two. I would put all but about 3 months expenses in a money market fund to keep it safe. I wouldn't make much interest but it would be safe but a few days out of reach. I would then get another job. After that I would work there for about 8-12 months or until I felt pretty secure. Then I would pay any credit cards, car payments, loans off. Then take about 3-6 months of expenses and keep it in the fund. The rest I would invest in Roth IRA up to the max. THEN I would invest the rest in the stock market because now I deserve a little fun and the chance to make tons on my money.

Many business franchises are available for $75,000. I started my first business with less than $4,000. In this case, the investment is that you're buying your own job...

And at least you'll be able to dress nice for job interviews with that kind of stash.

Depending on how long the money is supposed to last, you could have a decent year, or the best 38 seconds of your life at the playboy (playgirl) mansion...

I suggest you speak with a Financial Advisor and seek his/her views on best return. Meanwhile, you do need a job so go find one.


familyof404
i would invest in myself and further my education. then with the leftover i would invest long term. stocks IRA


idog
I'd live like I never even got the $75,000 and work my a@@ off to find a job. With no job, you've got to stretch that money pretty thin.


?
If you have no job then you should put it a money market fund or a bank CD


MLL
Invest the money and look for a new job.

I am emplyed as a sahm....so not "technically a job" I would pay off our debts, buy a new vehicle, and then help my parents out a little (both have cancer) and put the rest into an IRA for the kids education.
