edited June 2011 in Spurious Generalities
So I cashed in an old 401k from a job I had for like 9 months,so now I got 900 free and clear what shall I spend it on?
Just for shits and giggles I thought about an Ipad2,Then I thought about building an HTPC that I don't really need.
Then I thought about some nice new live rock for my reef tank and a new skimmer.

    Whenever you have free money, turn it into assets that you can profit from.(imagine it never existed, so you have no attachment to it)

    1. Buy Silver as a hedge against inflation (you can afford 24oz)
    2. Buy a 1/4-1/2lb of weed (easily double your money in a few weeks)
    3. CraigsList Flipping (buy stuff cheap, and resale at a profit)
    4. Stocks (very volatile right now) but invest in mining/agriculture/manufacturing
    5. Foreign Currencies (swiss franc, brazilian reais, chinese RMB, any of the BRICS countries

    Hope this helps

    1. Buy Silver as a hedge against inflation (you can afford 24oz) << Shit idea
    2. Buy a 1/4-1/2lb of weed (easily double your money in a few weeks) << Risky
    3. CraigsList Flipping (buy stuff cheap, and resale at a profit) <<Great idea, I make lots of money doing this.
    4. Stocks (very volatile right now) but invest in mining/agriculture/manufacturing <<Risky
    5. Foreign Currencies (swiss franc, brazilian reais, chinese RMB, any of the BRICS countries <<If you want to save it, sure why not.

    Hope this helps

    To be fair, in the UK (and maybe the USA?) it is sometimes harder to transfer money from one pension fund to another than it is to get a check for the amount and do with it what you will.

    I have had three company pensions now and have cashed the lot of them when I quit working for the companies. I would have to be thick to think their will be anything more than working until I die for people of my generation. Might as well spend what I can now on things that are going to pay back themselves.

    Buy a woodburner and put it in your house and save money on fuel.

    Invest it in a bond and watch it make money (Legal and General are the best).

    bonds barely keep up with the cost of inflation. a mutual fund would be better.
