still a pig. i would love to go to MIT to learn computer programming but that simply isn't going to happen. im not that stuck up over achiever student that i need to be to get into MIT. i have a decent GPA but none of the cash nor other requirements for MIT.So.. if im lucky, i can get into either Illinois or UW Madison but if not.. well... just not going to be going to good college like my indian parents are overly gravitated towards.Which makes it a prettier pig.
This thread again?
Okay, I'll update my list:
Pay off my mortgage
Fund my retirement accounts
Take my wife on vacation
Finish my landscaping
Buy that paperbark maple I wanted since the last time I posted in this thread.

I'd buy me a Mac. Invest the rest. I'm pretty happy with my life right now in terms of stuff money can buy.
Hmm, this sounds like a nice diversionary game.
Pay off mortgage and car lease, etc. ($100k)
Renovate my home so it sucks less ($20k)
Give some money to those in my family who wouldn't blow it retardedly ($50k)
Take about $100k to live off of, and use as startup capital for some of my business ideas, which I would focus on for the next 1-2 years.
Invest the rest in a split between growth oriented mutual funds, dividend ETFs, commercial bonds, and my own personal stock picking.
I don't really believe in donating large sums of money to charities. I give a little here and there, but I've always assumed it's smarter for me to build up my retirement fund, which I'll only live off the interest of, and then when I die, part of that will be setup to donate for perpetuity.
I also wouldn't give a huge chunk of my money to family right away, since I have more faith in my investing and business skills, to make more money, so that I would be better able to help my family with those funds.
