If you received $100,000, you would give close to half to the Federal Government in taxes. Considering how they spend and redistribute the wealth, that could be considered a charitable giving.

I'm going on the theory that it's "handed to me" and taxes have been covered. I'd use 10% for charitable functions, 10% for "fun" and the other 80% to build toward retirement, perhaps for an income producing property.

Income taxable, or maybe not. What about a gift?, or if it's an injury settlement that settled out of court, I believe it would be non-taxable. If a court ordered settlement, then punitive amount is taxable. Maybe a tax accountant can ring in here.

Me, I first give 5 to 10% to my church. Next, pay off debt, remodel our kitchen at home and invest anything left.

I like the 6am-2pm rest, M-F in an industrial area.
Great hours for the workers, should eventually work into a quality staff.
With good food, prices, and the captive clientele , I would think it'd be easy to be successful.

Hahaha. Yellow cub vans are making 2.00$ moving LED signs for Starbucks. While you getting 1.00 a mile with 650.00 monthly payment on that sprinter. Oh yeah I forgot about my 19 year CDL on my wallet. 100% American proud not Mexican. Get your mind right.

I would purchase gift annuities from Samaritans Purse, Boone NC. That would help them to help others and it would give me a tax break and a little return for the remainder of this life.

I would first invest in a smartphone and a copy machine then proceed to rent a self storage space with electricty, if electricity was unable to be obtained the bullet would have to be bitten and a generator would be purchased. I would then take the roughly 99 thousand left over, place it in the copy machine and hit the print button.

In the mean time while the printer runs 24 hours a day for maximum efficiency purposes, I would utilize the smart phone to call any phone number I could find in attempt to trade larger amounts of my copied money in exchange for smaller amounts of original currency. I would accept any original currency from around the world in exchange for my services.

I would then. . . . . . . . Wait, cancel all that. I just read here on my smartphone that there is no possible way I could compete with the U.S. Treasury in this particular market. Looks like I will try and start a used copymachine store on ebay mobile.

I will keep you updated on my progress.

I would buy some RC Cola's and Moon pie's, then go fishing for a day or two.

zorry · Jan 10, 2014

Not sure, but I'd bet on it, the RC Cola is bad for your stone problem. Most dark colas are.

1st make sure the Taxes on it are paid off then Id pay off my Wifes $$,$$$.$$ Surgery she had back the week of Nov 5th. Take the rest of it and pay off the other bills as well. Other than that simply use it to get outa debt. Help my daughter out with her College books and things she needs. After that If any left after that Put it in my account for a rainy day.
