What if you were a unemployed, single and won $400,000 US. What would you do.

I'd buy a cheap house and then live like a bum for the rest of my days. that's really my only dream to be able to have a place to live and not have to worry about being out on the street, after that it's all gravy.

It's bumped randomly, but shit it's a fair question so i'll answer.

I'll pretend i'm American and won't bother changing to £.

Invest about $300,000.

And have a fucking good time with the rest of it.

It's good to be the king...
Save $300,000 (roughly £150,000) - the rest I'd spend it like (Mrs) Beckham.....:D

Man somebody is really into blowing off dust. One leaves the next one checks in.

I would pay off bills, get a very small modest home, buy only what I need, and use the remaining slowly as needed.

I would save it, and go about my daily life as I have always done. Maybe for an important and/or occasional large purchase that was necessary I would dip into the savings. I wouldn’t tell anybody but a few of the most trusted people in my life I even had it.
 
Unemployed and single? I would pay off every single thing I owed.... then with the remainder I'd have just enough to catch a flick at the dollar movies, that is if I find a couple quarters between the cushions.

No, but seriously, pay off every debt I had and use the rest to go to college to become either a banker, engineer, doctor, janitor, stripper, the guy who holds the donkey at a Tijuana bar, anything but a freaking ambulance chasing lawyer. Though I could use some of it on hot escorts, whenever I've been in school I never had any problems picking up women there.
 
Buy a large amount of land and build my own house and love off the land.
And get a laptop with a satellite internet access card to surf porn. Maybe buy a real doll to keep me company.
 
Not to worry Double L, I'd send ya a ticket to meet me in Vegas.
 
I would just add it to My investment portfolio and watch it grow.I already own a home and another property,so I would put it in stocks and bonds.Actually,$400,000 is not that much money if You are not careful with it.I worked with a young man that inherited $600,000 and blew it in 3 years on cars,more cars,electronics,big screen TVs,Women,booze,and assorted other vices.-----I would have some fun with it,sure.."found money" so to speak.But I think about the fact that those of us that are younger than 40 will probably never see a penny from Social Security,so I would add most all of it to investments.
 
I would pay off my newly aquired home loan, buy a top of the line Alienware computer, and have a very merry x-mas the next year. (so I like giving too.)

Money is money I would not care how much as long as its some better to have some money then none at all you know what I mean it may not be a lot of money to some $400,000 but hey at least it is some.

1.) I just will remain single showing off like I am some kind of big spender when I am not and lick and stick every hot looking Mary, Sane, Suzy, Tammy, Nikki who comes my way after night out partying with one of them.

2.) Spend two or three hundred dolloars at the at the clothing store of my choice to Accessorize my wardrobe to keep looking fresh to def when ever I'd go out some where and to have enough clothes to keep me warm.

3.) Deposite a piece of the money (not sure how much) in the bank open up a CD or something allow it to collect intrest so, I'll have some loute for me when I really need it for an investment or something who knows. Then deposite the rest into my checking account so I have some money there when I need it also ti be at good standings with my bank.
 
I would pay off debts, no point losing more money to the man....

then i would put some money into safe but steady investments to bank some coin...

take a bit of a vacation to think about what i want to do...then invest in a house, may as well get some equity...

oh and when i got back..find a job, b/c it isn't enough money to do much with

Easy, here is what I wil ldo in the following order:
1) Buy two houses, one will be for rent and will make me extra revenues and the second will be a smaller one where I live.

2) Apply for a job and invest some of my money in the company where I work

3) Buy a muscle car and use it as a daily driver
