I would look hard into land and/or a home. You might be able to pick something really nice up for really cheap because of obvious reasons. You can take a portion of that money and use it as the down payment and then use another portion to make the mortage payments until you feel ready to pick them up.
A nice solar power system might be nice too... or an RV with a solar panel system on it... Either way your a lucky bastard and I am jealous.

I would be all about debt elimination. My wife would be all about a vacation.
My financial priority is to get ourselves as financially bulletproof as possible. If the economy crashes, I don't want to notice. I think zero debt (including mortgage) is the biggest step toward that end. |

There are still worries of course, but I no longer worry about myself. I worry about my children, and how they will do. By being debt free I will be able to help them or others if the need occurs, and I choose to. I have lived debt free for many years, and it is wonderful. By the way, camping is a nice inexpensive vacation. |

Invest in a couple short term CDs, that way it collects some interests while you figure it out. I would not be too quick to spend it all. Sit back and think on it. Im not talking days or months, but a good year. 100k at 3-4% interests wouldnt be too bad til you figure it all out.

I am debt free other than a tractor pymt and it does feel good.I also have over a years worth of salary put back.I'm also looking at investing in land,but the way this administration is doing things,just because you bought it-doesn't mean you own it.I just built a new house last year and heat with a wood stove mainly and I'm planting a garden.I don't know what they're saying about the fdic,but last month there was talk it could be insolvent later this year.I'm going slow investment wise.I lucked with a very good banker who had similar beliefs and has been way in debt and worked his way out.

With 100K:
1. Pay off debts 2. Purchase a bad ass truck 3. Ammo, Ammo, Ammo 4. Food stock 5. Other survival essentials I cant afford 6. Property in middle of no where to construct a log cabin on 7. Possibly invest left overs in foreign banks that are more stabil, not sure who that would be though. |

I would go on the www.gunbroker.com website and buy every vintage Smith & Wesson revolver that I wanted to.
Especially the old blued ones that look like they're made of glass. I truly love that old deep, shiny blued finish. Then I'd buy a Marlin .30-30 with a straight (English-style) stock. Then I'd buy a Remington Nylon 66, new in the box. Then I'd buy a Remington Model Seven in .308 Winchester. Then I'd buy a Winchester Model 70 carbine in .308 Winchester. Then I'd buy a Tikka T3 Lite in .308 Winchester. Then I'd feel guilty about how much money I'd spent on guns. Then I'd put the rest in my kid's college savings plans.

if your not sure, maybe you could put some money in bonds. ladder them, so you have 1yr, 2 yr, 3yr, 4yr...etc bonds so every year you have a bond that matures. when one matures, you can decide whether to keep it all or buy another bond to place on top of your ladder so to speak.

Invest the money if you are out of debt. In 3 weeks the stock market has gained over 20% - You would have 120,000 instead of 100 if you invest properly. Seek a Certified Financial Planner to help you protect and keep what you have.

Seek a Certified Financial Planner to help you protect and keep what you have. I could also bet on black at the roulette table and double it, possibly. it could also tank, again and I would have lost 20K. I have enough in the SM. I don't want all my money there. IMO is basically electrons floating around and I cant use those easily so I would like to do something else.
land is looking better and better all the time, especially if more people get into problems, like the current trend |

Me?
100K isn't that much. I'd pay off my mortgage and take the rest in cash and put it in my safe. I have about all I need, although I'm starting to wish for a bigger house. Might have to go house shopping. My boss is a realtor and found an awesome house for another buyer in '05... that buyer didn't like it so he showed it to me and I flirted with buying it. I'm glad I didn't, given the housing market fall, but I'm wishing I had something like it today. It had what was effectively a 4-car garage with three doors with tons of shelving, workbenches and storage, a BIG home-made treehouse / storage building - three stories! (first was lawn mower, flammables storage, second was treehouse first floor and the second was the "patio" on top of the treehouse) in the fenced back yard in a lightly wooded lot on the edge of town. 3 bedrooms + big loft that wasn't really suitable for a bedroom but would have made a great "man cave" / geek room. Needed new carpet, painting, appliances and other work. I would have put myself far more in debt than I was comfortable with to make it perfect. It would have been a sweet, sweet bachelor pad. If I could find a place similar to it today, I'd probably buy –– especially if I had an additional 100K in the mix. John |

I would pay off the college loans right off the bat. Then I would be house hunting. I would contact friends with money to figure out the safest place to put it that would get me some interest but keep me safe. I would, however, buy a number of guns. Probaby something on the order of a 28 guage sxs possibly a Ugartechea or an aya. I would get a jframe and a concealed carry permit. I would also reserve about 10k for my wife to complete college.
Long term, having the wife graduate would be the best thing for our interests. Houses here are reasonable and we could get a home to fit our needs for well under 100k. I would put 20 k down and be able to make payments on my salary while the rest earns interest. |

Look for a remote area - close enough to get to on 1 tank or 1 tank & some stored gas cans. 10+ acres as cheap as possible. 1 or 2 bedroom cabin - possibly small basement or pantry for longer food storage. Solar system to start add a windmill later. Set you back an easy 60-80k if not the whole 100k depending how elaborate. Stock the basement up with food & water. Seeds, ammo some weapons.
Preferably an area with lots of wild game. Gives you a SHTF place. With the current admin - 1-2 years could be a trigger for a worst case scenario. If anything happens. better be prepared for nothing. Plus it will make a great vacation place :) CD's & paying off bills is a great idea also! |

I guess I don't need a disclaimer because you did ask for our opinion right?
I would avoid any bank or stock broker - not until things normalize Considering you have debt under control and assuming your regular preps are good.... Evaluate your training - first aid, shooting, tracking - whatever you'd like to be better at - nows the time. then I'd invest in land, ammo, pm's. Land in my area has dropped about 50% from the boom times...I would look for nothing smaller than 20 acres, away from active roads and prying eyes, add a well and slowly start assembling a nice cabin/retreat/BOL.

I came into about that much money when I was much younger, and I spent it on toys, and risky investment (none of which paid off.) Foolish. Buy land. Or get a Class III and get started in the world of full-auto as an investment vehicle.
