I would open a English School for the students that can not afford to learn english at younger ages in China. English is being taught by the school system but so many of the younger children do not have the money to take privet lessons at young ages. I would spend the money to open a school and let them pay what they could afford so that the school could stay in place longer. I would also try to teach english in smaller villages where they can not afford teachers useing internet or teleconferance in class.

If I were given 50K, I would be able to save my small business and my house. I am a drywall contractor and to get a line of credit with distributers they make sign personally. I wasnt paid on a couple jobs, so I couldnt pay my material bills. Now my insurance has been cancled and my distributers have put a lean on my house. So I would pay off those debts, then put 15k in the bank in case this were to happen again.

If someone dropped $50,000 on my doorstep, no questions asked, I can guarantee you we would pay off our Chase Visa (approx. 10k) first. Once that was done we would put another 20k on to our ‘second mortgage’ (we have an 80 % and 20% loans). Next we would take 5k and buy my husband a good used pick up truck. He currently drives his grandmothers 1988 Buick Century and is proud to drive it- paid off, low insurance, and still trustworthy, but with spring gardening we could definately use the truck to haul dirt and hopefully produce too. The remaining 15k (minus $200) we would put into our savings for our 6 months emergency fund. Oh I would like to take that $200 out and take our kids 4 teenage kids to dinner and a movie for fun.

FYI- My husband has a spreadsheet all worked up with exactly what we would do if we won the lottery. Top on our list is debt, savings, a little for each child and even so much for each of our parents since they aren’t as financially stable as we hope to be at their age. Every week when he spends his $1.00 on a ticket he puts in the current numbers and lets it work its’ magic- of course we have never won but he enjoys hoping.

I have really enjoyed your blog.

I would:

1. Pay off my credit card
2. Pay off my student loans
3. Take the vacation that I’ve needed to take for a long time (prob. Vegas)
4. Put $5, 000 in the savings account (just in case)
5. Split the remaining $25,000 between stocks and apartment investments
(6. Somewhere in there, I’d give my parents a few grand)

I would put in tax lien certificates where it would make a fixed above market rate of return. Iowa tax liens pay 2% per month. The website link has some nice general information on them.

With 50000 $ I would renew my art supplies such as canvases, paint and paintbrushes. I would then take a 6 month leave of absence from work to paint to my hearts desire.
