If it drives, fcuks, flies or floats you're better off leasing it.

If I've anything left over I'll throw in a level 1 car wash.

As the title says - if you suddenly found yourself 50 grand richer what would you do? Now, I know it's not an awful lot of money to some - but to others it is a hell of a lot - so would you spend wisely and think of ways to make a profit on this money or would you blow the whole lot in one go?

50k, I'd probably do a full time college course. Upskill, and hopefully start a higher paid job once i'd finished.

Pay off loans, enjoy the money saved each month. Do something nice with what's left.

50k is not much. It would buy a decent car in the UK, here it would only buy half a decent car. So I'd borrow another 50k to buy the other half.

Now is not a great time for Bitcoin.
Having major problems the past couple of days.

If you spent the €50,000 on bitcoin before Christmas, you would be looking at €25,000 now.

Surely it depends on what you're inheriting 50,000 of.

Money? Go on a huge holiday.

Puppies? Be confused as to what to do with 50,000 puppies.

Piles of sh1t? Wonder what I did to deserve 50,000 piles of sh1t.

As already mentioned by others, definitely 'not' BTC.
If the coin's drop pattern continues, will be just 7,500 before too long.



Silver is 60% less than it's fairly recent '11 peak, Platinum is 50% less than decade ago.

Pay my bills.

Have a ****.

How do you become a millionaire from Bitcoin now?

Invest €2m. :pac:

€50k - deposit on an investment property.

The first thing I would do is put it down as a deposit for a new place and get myself out of the renting game for good.

First of all I'd have to pay €14 K to the tax man because of CGT .. so 36 grand, yeah? Probably add it to the "live in Dublin" pile I've been collecting.

Winnings don't attract CGT and inheritance may be tax exempt. Be positive, you've just received €50k

Buy a second hand BMW R1200GSA and do Scotland, England, Europe & the Middle East on it. Then probably north Africa to Morroco, to Spain and home for a few pints in the local.

Ahhhh.... memories. Did it all on GSs, except the middle east.

I would buy a mulberry handbag and use the other 49000 as deposit for my first home.

A girl can dream!

Avoid the Prince William look

Set it aside for sons private education and University.

Convert the attic or get an extension. Then paint the whole interior of my house, and get new floors in most rooms.

You could just do that yourself now for a few hundred quid

€5k each to self and spouse to spend as we wish (more or less).
Balance against mortgage to reduce outstanding term.

More like thousand! 3 bedroom house, upstairs and downstairs, hall stairs and landing...

I got a cheap job when we moved in and it looked like Stevie Wonder did it so I'll pay the big bucks this time, but I'd like it all done together. Paint, new interior doors, new floors etc.

If I were to inherit €50K, all I'd probably do outside of donations, college and ambiguous future investments, is to get a new laptop, and upgrade my existing PC or build a new one.

Family holiday, modest home improvements, and the rest would bring us very close to paying off the mortgage

bear1

Open 2 accounts for my daughter's and put 5k into each and let it stay there for the next 18 years - I'd add to it every month from my own salary.
Really regret that I'm not in the position to do it now puts a downer on me sometimes.
Clear the credit card, pay off the car loan.
That would leave me 33.5k so 20k into the savings acc and the rest on a nice holiday, prop up the current account and some expensive spa weekend for the wife.

I'd get an ironed shirt.
