i think that statement is (across the board) a given!


Jonathan & Brad are correct, we pay nothing! you guys forgot to do your happy dance!


but we do pay taxes on any interest our investments make, or interest incurred @ the bank.

but with the right investments, it'll all take care of itself.

 

1. Pay off my parents debts because they have done so much for me
2. Pay off my girlfriend and I's debt
3. Buy a house so I don't have to rent anymore - nothing too extravagant
4. Pick up a Corvette ZR1 and buy back my 2000 SS Camaro I recently sold
5. Throw some money my brother and sisters way
6. Buy a few other fun toys
7. Put enough away for my son's college (he's only 8 months old now, ha)
8. Put the rest in savings (for the time being) and invest a good portion

I have always said If I won the lottery I would quarter the money up.

1/4 would go into the bank for long term very low risk investing.
1/4 would go into hard in hand investments( Houses, rare cars, gold, etc etc)
1/4 would go into investing into business's( build my dream 40,000sf shop, wifes book stores, than invest in any business my family members wanted to start, Also each nease and nephew would get $250,000 into a bank account for when they turn 18 either college or start there own business)
1/4 would be to blow(cars, watches, boats, sand rails, pretty much any thing)

If I would have been the only winner to last nights lottery it would have been about 35 million per quarter.

For the most part I agree except for hiring the financial planner, don't need one. Simply put i can use the rule of 72 to be able to figure out when my money will double according to the interest rate that I'm getting. For example if you're getting an interest rate of say 12% on a mutual fund, then that means that in six years your money will double. I would hire an accountant, or tax professional (as I could use one now).

After helping out family and a few friends, I would buy a decent house, Ford Raptor, new fishing gear, couple of guns and rifles and I'm a happy man. The rest of the money would be split up into savings, mutual funds, trust funds, anything that would pay me interest.

 

first buy ?
