What would you do with an influx of money you didnt expect? [View all]
This week saw the conclusion of a family matter that ended up with me getting a large sum of money that came unexpectedly.
its basically about 7 times what i normally earn in a year.
Ive never known a life other than one where i could quit or lose my job at anytime and have always lived paycheck to paycheck. and not a very large one at that.
Now I have a big chunk of security in the bank with some breathing room to decide what to do with the rest of my life.
I decided to go back to school and work on an IT degree. Something I should have done 20 years ago but never made it happen.
I can almost see the shitshow that is coming to this country in the next few years. Stock market crash. recession.huge deficits back. massive debt. unemployment rising.
When I graduate next year I am going to be in a good place with a new degree in a field that has 0% unemployment and this chunk of money in the bank and I hope to ride out the rest of the trump years, assuming he lasts 4 years, in relative safety until we get a real president again.
Pretend you just got 7 times what you normally earn in a year. What would you do?
