15 000 € - What would you do?

in #money6 years ago (edited)

Imagine you just got 15000 € (17 600 $) as inheritance from your parents. It's slightly different than to win a lottery, as those money was earned with a hard work. That reason might not be a case for some people, but for me it was. And just to let you know the value of this amount, you can imagine that monthly salary is around 1000 € for a person. So it would take 1 year and 3 months to collect such amount if you put all your salary for a savings (that is basically almost impossible).

So the options that came to my mind are these:

  • Buy a better car
  • Make a renovation for the home (or buy your own home, if you don't have one)
  • Travel the world for a year
  • Invest
  • Leave the job and start your own business

I chose one of those options. And I will tell you more in the next article. But for now I would like to know what would you do with the money you did not expected to get (those options are only my thoughts, it can be anything).

Sort:  

Well it's pretty obvious that the best option is to buy a home. Nothing here is as good as that option, it's not even arguable. However, it depends on the person. Some people just can't see beyond taking some indulgence right now, over planning for the future. I hope you buy the house!

Yes, that was the option I chose. And the next article is about that: https://steemit.com/realestate/@amonas/investing-to-real-estate-my-story

I would spend that on something that will make the cash flow... No cars, no travel, because those are only for spending money. Investments and starting your own business would be the best options for me.. I'm doing that with my boyfriend last couple of years. I'm interested to see what did you came up with :)

Nice thinking ;)
