thats what i learned a long tim ago, too. just thought realestate after the crash is not anmore wher it was, but coul be im missing out...thanks!
i have some wind energy stock. its a business thats going to explode this decade, and it has environmental bonuses, as there's no toxic bi products. wind globally is getting stronger and more severe due to global warming, so ironically, when its more stormy and unpredictable, the better it is for these windfarms. you even have farms being built right now that can withstand a category 3 hurricane or sea gale. google" wind farms". there's a few of them on FTSE.

i was talking about the real estate thing, investing in solar or wind energy is a good call because this amount should be invested in good things. thanks!

(so no crack and hoes for me)

Charity FTW :hugegrin:

In this money storm, buy a stack of gold.
From what I know, it doesn't loose value
..And you can't re-invent it

I called the bank once and asked about buying gold bullion.
They weren't selling, apparently.

Charity is great, but donating time is far more useful.
That is something that cannot be "written off".

Invest in an underground bunker, water, food, medical supplies and weapons. The end of the world is coming didn't you know?

Also, I'm offended in being called an anonymous stoner, although i wouldn't say no to a spliff ;)

I wouldnt be so quick to jump on wind tbh - yeh it might blow up for a year but science moves faster than wind farms can be built - the last thing you want is CERN to learn how to harness quantum explsions or somthing and have enough power to fuel the world for decades from one tiny reaction and thus all your wind farm stock being made redundant overnight.

It's a boring answer but you'd never have any financial stress. Imagine one day your house burned down and through some loophole your insurance wouldn't pay, you could just shrug it off like you split a glass of water.
exactly this.

at first i'd work on getting the full dmz and deep medi catalogue. and a copy of asb001. then i'd buy all the other records i wanted. take a nice vacation maybe, and then put it aside. if anything shit ever happens, you're golden!

Yeah I don't think green energies are really that profitable yet. Research has still gotta be done because the technology is still pretty expensive, but i guess that could be a good reason to invest.

With inflation running wild I would buy gold/silver. One of the safest investments you can possibly make.

its gonna be pretty funny when we start exploring space in 100 years or so and find planets covered in diamonds and gold haha.

not only that, when we start colonizing other planets real estate will tumble paha.

we talking 500k yeah?

put 450 into a National Saving and Investments account or something like that - pretty secure, enough interest to make it worthwhile, and just semi-forget about it until you need to take a course, do a masters, buy a car, or whatever.

The give me the other 50k to set up my business :wink:

Seriously though, use it to pursue your dream job. As much as ppl say, id like to retire young, can u imagine doing nothing for the rest of your life? you need to do something, everyone has a dream job. want to be a big promoter? run nights without fear of losing money... literally, do whatever.. manage aritsts, run a label, be a fireman, sell crack, tug rhubarb, whatever.

what id give to be in that situation.

With 500k, I would destroy all music in every format on the planet, save for one vinyl copy of thriller.
