U Got 200k? What to do?
 
Lets say your in your early 20's and in the last 5 months you've made about 200k in poker. What is a smart way to invest the money?

First:pay off all debt.
Second:Tijuana, Mexico.
Third:two chicks at the same time (some of you may need more money for this)

Need more info. What's your risk tolerance ? What's your investment time horizon? Will you need any of this money in the near future? A diversified prtfolio of equity mutual funds is what I would advise but only if you have at least a 3 to 5 year time horizon.

This is a good plan. However, if you go to TJ, avoid this place.

Went to the PI, but never saw the inside of a bar there. Saw the ping pong ball show in Thailand. Saw the snake show at Sin Allet on Oki. No comment on the banana.

unless it's low interest debt like student loans, in which case your money could be making higher interest for you than the interest you're paying on the loans.

Yes. OOTiots generally have at least some semblance of a sense of humor. I'm not saying it's funny per se, but just chill out a bit.

It was a jopke.

Me with $200k cash:

1) Home paid off. (Would leave around $15k)
2) Nice down payment on a new car for the wife.

Then I'd take the rest and by myself a piece of gum.

Yeah, definitely. Mutual funds are great and all, but a house is an investment you get to use while it gains in value.

1) http://www.ingdirect.com - start up an on-line savings account with a small portion of it that you would like to have access to. they have really good rates.

2) http://www.fidelity.com - go start up a ROTH IRA and max that thing out.

3) buy a house and live in it.

4) transfer anything left over to tpir90036 on 'stars.

[/ QUOTE ]

A) You really think that making 200k (assuming he declared it) would allow him to contribute to a Roth?
B) Even if he was eligible, the max is still capped at $4k/yr.

While a roth ira is a great investment tool, it's not ideal (or allowed) for a person who gets a large chunk of cash like this. I would personally put a chunk in money market accounts, a bunch in mutual funds, buy a house or two, and dump a bunch in a bloated life insurance policy with a company like NW Mutual.

You can't contribute a roth if you make that much money.

Re: U Got 200k? What to do?
 
I don't like the idea of buying a house. I'd rather wait till I was a little older and possibly be married and have a state you are planning on spending a lot of time etc. Plus, if your winrate is for the long-term, you will not be happy that you blew 200k on a shitty house, when you could've gotten a nice house for 4-500k a year from now.
