If you had $100,000....

I'd buy food and give some to local food pantries and churches then bury the rest of the money
under the old oak tree.
 
Eldon,

I'm 71 years old. I hope to sell off my herd and retire within the next year. I have two old tractors that meet my needs, so, I'd save it. As Greg said, I'd use some of it for good deeds, and then keep the rest in case my wife and I get to be old people.

For me I suppose the way to make the best interest off of it is to pay the bank down. Otherwise, I would throw a match in this old house and put the $100,000 toward a new one.
 
For farming, that wouldn't buy a new tractor.

But it might get a newer tractor....

Knowing me, I would go out and buy a NICE Duramax truck, nothing more than $15,000 though. Older one, 03-07. Then I would just stash the rest.... Can never SAVE enough money right??? :)
 
Buy my wife a new truck. do some renos in my sons house, and put a new furnace in my home . That should take
care of it , maybe have to add a bit. Sure wouldn't try to save any , inflation eats the value of the dollar
, and banks only charge interst , they don't pay it.
 
I'd use half of it to buy next year's seed. I'd use the
other half to buy fertilizer for that seed. Input costs
continue to amaze me.
 
I'd put it toward more custody of my daughter, or try
to find a way to change the laws for dads with the
corrupt court here in the people's republic on New
Pork. You a father and you have no rights, them
they make it no fault?
 
I would use it to try to get my lovely lady friend of 10 years, who out of the blue left me this week, to come
back....
Then again, maybe I should just find a new lady friend. What do you guys think?
 
Until you figure out what there is about you that made her decide she needed to be away from you, probably no point looking for another lady. Save the $100,000.
 
Had a fella at work who was married and divorced several times. When someone chided him about that, his answer was: "I can get 'em; I just don't know how to keep 'em".
 
Lots of variables not specified- cash? tax implications? etc.

We tithe, so $10K goes there.

We have two in college, one a Junior in HS. The rest [u:ac2bc2e231]might[/u:ac2bc2e231] pay all the tuition I will owe over the next 5 pr 6 years.

SWMBO could use to update her vehicle, we should save for that.
 
Well the saying goes, the best way to get over someone is to get under a new one! Don't take that advice to seriously! LOL
 
Become debt free. That would be my first priority. That would come to about 20K. Then build a new shop.

Invest it,then probably
pass It on to my kids
after I'm gone.I don't
have allot of wants. I'm
happy and thankful with
what I have.
 
I knew a guy that always said if he won the lottery he'd give half to the church,...."down payment on the hell I'm gonna raise!", he'd say.

With the tractors I collect, I could probably get more than just one, but I think I'd pay off the house and vehicles first, I hat making payments!
 
Well..... The best way to get along with women is to listen to what they say, and then do something about it. It is really hard to listen and understand what they are saying but most all of them will tell you what is wrong, most all men just don't believe it is all that serious or important until the women give up and move on.
 
if i had 100 grand i'd add a room to the house so mrs 730 wouldn't have to go up and down stairs build a fence to keep the cows in and pay the $42.23 cents that is left on the mortgage.

Only you can answer that, but I think it would at least partly depend on why she left.
 
Save it. I've got a prioritized timetable for big purchases that can't be funded out of our regular paychecks. Some of it gets purchased through a home equity line of credit, some comes from savings. Plus, I've always tried to have 6 mos to a year of expenses covered in the bank. As I get close to retirement (1-2 yrs out), the financial planning is taking a different course. We try to live frugally but not like a Scrooge. $ 100,000 would just add to the financial "comfort level" in retirement.
 
I think I probably do the same as vscummings, probably 2 good angus bulls, and the rest on cow calf pairs, and hay!
 
Women are as numerous as fish in the sea. Go find a new woman, or better yet . . . . just GO FISHING !
 
$100k would make a dent in what I still owe on my Western Star. Wouldn't be any left over to throw at my grain trailers (super b) though.
 
(quoted from post at 19:56:53 12/10/15) Would you save it or spend it (on a new tractor)??

Kinda disappointed in you guys....I was hoping someone would say they were going to help pay down the national debt or house some refugees.... :cry:
 
I had 100 grand this spring but it is all but gone.lol
I gave 45 grand to my daughter as down payment so she could buy her own house.
Then I bought a 2004 JD 644H wheel loader for 35 grand.
The rest went to buy hay and grain to feed my animals this winter as we had a bad drought and i had only 115 bales off 300 acre hay land.

100 grand don't get one very far these days.:shock:
