[Arluza]

I would save the money so I can pay off college when I finish it.

 

[Littlee300]

Buy steam games and invest 25% of it then leave the rest in the bank

 

[Fleeker]

Pay off my car, my student loans, my rent for the year, by the rest of the 24 seasons I don't have, go grocery shopping, then invest the rest half at a low risk, low gain, stable growth fund (that I won't touch for the next 30 - 40 years but will reinvest all interest and slowly add to) and a medium risk with medium reward for the 3/1 of the remaining (reinvesting all interest and slowly adding to with no intention of touching for any other than big investments or letting it grow until retirement), and the rest is high risk high reward investments all of the investments are by a top financial planner (that will work with amounts of this size) that only gets paid if I make money, figure about 10 - 15% (because someone good would probably require that) on all profits on all three ventures so they only focus would be making my money grow the way I want it to.

[Beryl77]

I'd build my own evil empire according to Peter's Evil Overlord List.

 

[Raizekage]

Pay off my two credit cards, the rest I'll save for emergencies.

 

[MasterOfWorlds]

Buy my gf something nice, buy myself a new silver Honda Ridgeline, and put the rest in CDs in the bank. Just keep rolling them over until probably the 30,000 or so I have left is a bigger sum, and then put half of that away in case of emergencies while the other half continues to roll over in CDs.

I'm a pretty simple guy, after all. As much as I want a Ridgeline, the only reason I'd be getting that is because my current car is old and isn't in the best shape because the person that owned it before me didn't take care of it and it probably doesn't have more than a handful of years left in it anyway.

 

[Macgyvercas]

Hmmm, let's see...

1) Enough non-perishable food and bottled water to last for six months
2) A rifle and a sidearm, with several clips worth of ammo for each
3) Several forms of falsified identification (passports, drivers license, etc)
4) Maps of every country in the western hemisphere
5) at least 30 gallons gas placed in cans
6) $20,000 in gold
7) A box big enough to fit all of the above

Anything that's left over I'll just place in a savings account.

What exactly are you planning to do, and can I get in on it?

Well I got the box just so everything would be in one place when I buried it all in my backyard.
I figure one of these days society is gonna end or the federal government might be after me for some reason, so I figure better to have this stuff and not need it, than to need it and not have it.

Ahh, the "you can never be too paranoid" approach, eh? I should get on something like that for when the zombies attack (or robots, doesn't matter).

 

[Warlord211]

Buy a really good PC, buy a lot of stuff for my Jeep Wrangler, donate $10,000 to Childs Play, and the rest I would blow on meaningless things I want.

 

[Master_of_Oldskool]

Devided as evenly as possible between games, charity, and my college fund.

Because as a gamer, Jack Thompson owes me.

 

[Jodah]

Use it to pay off my law school then rub it in his face that I am a Lawyer and he is not.

 

[General BrEeZy]

games, xbox live for life, microsoft points, wii, college, bank. nuff said.

 

[Gather]

Loose half of it converting the 50,000 to Australian Dollars

(I know it isn't that bad, but egads, I love being able to say that)

 

[Dan Steele]

buy a house, a car, and college funds for game design

 

[dancinginfernal]

Invest. Eventually sell and fund a science team to invent a time machine. Go back in time to '95, and tell my father to invest in Apple.

Considering you would have a time machine investing in apple is a bit unambitious.

That's what they want you to think.

 

[Cazza]

To the bank. It will end up later going to paying for my studies and other important things.

 

[McNinja]
