If you inherited $50,000...

[4greatboys]

Use some of it towards remodeling our house and the rest for oldest sons college.

 

[ChrisnSteph]

Pay off any bills we owe.
Pay off our RV.
Buy myself a new set of twins.
Put in a pool.

Save what's left

 

[Chris2597]

I would....
use about 5-7k for a family vacation
help dd pay off student loans
bank the rest

 

[luvmydogs]

Cyndee!!!

P.S. With the 50k, I'd make Jake Ryan my man-servant and have him feed me Dunkin Donuts while wearing a leopard-print loincloth.

"Would it be possible for you to tell me if there is a Samantha Baker there and if so may I converse with her briefly?"

 

[Sthronds]

Pay off my car, pay back my parents, take a trip to New Zealand and save the rest.

 

[Rex Rules]

Down payment on a home

 

[Blueeyes101817]

pay off my car--go on vacation--save the rest

 

[MrsTink04]

Down payment on a house and an over-the-top trip to WDW. I mean, the spare no expense kind. Though, I guess all trips to WDW are dream trips!

 

[skiwee1]

Spend it!! Seriously. It isn't enough to save for anything and would be much more fun to spend on a nice trip and some jewelry! LOL!~

 

[Aux2534]

I'd make that PIG FLY and get me to WDW. Along with a cruise for my whole family. Oh wait I can do both at the same time.. Ok Yeah I'll do that. Is it coming soon. I need to make plans here.

 

[Stitchfans]

First off a lot of home improvements, and an addition on the house. then take a longer than normal vacation to WDW. If any left over a newer truck for DH his is old and starting to nickle and dime us. I know my priorities are a bit off.

 

[PrincessKitty1]

I'd buy a small powerboat ($20,000) and save the rest. DH would probably want to use it to pay off our student loans ($30,000) and save the rest. So perhaps we'd actually buy a small powerboat, pay off our student loans, and not save a penny.

 

[Kitty 34]

Spend $5,000 on an "extra" trip other than just our yearly.

Probably invest the rest!

 

[KarenAylwood]

Buy a bunch of Disney DVDs, take DBF on his first trip to WDW and invest/save the rest (which would eventually go towards a down payment on a house in a few years once DBF gets out of med school ).

 

[Caradana]

A brand-new kitchen, and the rest to a lovely diversified mutual fund.

 

[vivilasvegas]

I don't know. Pay off the rest of my debt, but that would still leave me a lot.

Maybe take a vacation, buy a reliable car, and keep the rest in savings or something.

 

[Ava83]

Pay off our lot loan. Then pay off the boat

 

[palmtreegirl]

Down payment on a townhome or condo.

 

[Wish Upon A Star]

Hmmmmmmmm . . .if I inherited 50,000 right now . . .I'd have to say pay off the 2 cars and with the rest of it . . .I'd most likely get rid of my 4 Season all glass sun room and put on a real room with four walls and a roof and maybe even a couple of windows and french doors oh and yeah a fireplace. But I'd definitely want to be the one with the HUGE sledgehammer smashing through each and every window in that room (all 36 of em) to get some satisfaction.

I hate that sunroom!

DH and I were in this situation 8 years ago (inherited $65K from DH's grandmother). We paid off all our credit card debt and both our cars. Sold our nearly-paid-off house and bought another. We have remained debt-free ever since (except for the house and we're paying it off at a pretty good clip) and we have taken many wonderful vacations (all paid for before we took them from my salary). The only reason I work is to pay for my voracious traveling habit.
