$120,000 cash falls in your lap. What are you doing with it ?  
 

120k seems like a pretty specific number. Are you “asking for a friend?”

Take half of it and spend it on a night with beautiful girls, a great steak dinner, good cigars and the finest Irish whiskey.  
 

Take the other half and blow it all on something stupid.  

Plow it back into the market to make up for a small portion of my losses the last 6 months. 😎 

What do I do first?  Look for a tracking device.

Where did it fall from?  Do I need to hide the body? Cover up evidence?   How long do I got before I need to get outta town?

This aspect of the question is more interesting to me than hashing out all of the "blow it/invest it" possibilities - especially given the relatively small amount of money, at least by hypothetical windfall standards. 

I think the smart play is to stash it in a fairly public location somehow (a bus/train station locker would be perfect, but those went the way of the dodo...), grab a different carrying container (the denomination of the bills will determine this issue - whether we're talking $1s or $100s matters here...), then finding some other semi-public location (back of a car in a busy parking garage? Single stall, locking bathroom in a hotel lobby or other business?) to unband and quickly flip through/shake out all the bills while putting it into the new container.

Y’all don’t understand cash in today’s society. Go watch ‘Ozark’ 

Get in touch with a HS chemistry teacher in Albuquerque.

An argument can be made that you don't understand today's society if you're citing Ozark for any reason.

Go deposit $120k in your bank account, ‘over time’ and see what happens

I would renovate my house....  

120k will buy you a nice new kitchen.... or maybe other room renovations... and I would pay it out as cash payments to the contractor when they hit their completion goals. 

 

 

*after checking it to make sure there isnt an apple airtag or some other tracking device hidden in the bills. 

 

Send it to my financial planner and know that my retirement income just went up and depending on what she says maybe plan on retiring in less than 3 1/2 years. Yea, I'm boring. 

I’d buy custom colored Beats and mustard for all of my teammates.

If this is a serious question, I’d find a Realestate market that this can be 25% down on 2-4 multifamily homes that are rent ready.  If I had all the time, instead I’d buy run down ones and run the crews to renovate them, ReFi the cash out i made renovating, and do the next one. 

Most of the ideas in here would get you the aforementioned Ozark-type attention from the Feds.  Realistically all you can do is put it in the safe and trickle it out for the rest of your life.  Pay for groceries and part of your vehicle trades.  Do it inauspiciously, at least until after the cash is spent up.

If this is a serious answer, can you tell me where I can find 2-4 multifamily homes that are rent ready and $120k covers the down payment?

I’d tell my wife to come home right this minute and fuck me silly:

If you can’t find a multifamily for $240k you’re not looking.  Two would be no problem. Finding 4 would be tough, but might be doable depending on what part of the country you’re in (or how far away you’re willing to buy)

I would invest half of it in low risk mutual funds and then take the other half over to my friend Asadulah who works in securities...

Home work / improvement would be easy, all those guys give a nice cash discount

Two chicks?

 

pos rep emoticon for this being the first reply. Neg rep emoticon for not including a meme of Lawrence.

 

that wouldn't go very far with me, so I'd probably just renovate the house

1.  clear the source liability

2.  clear the tax liability 

3.  clear your bad idea liability 

4.  proceed 

there is a whole other world behind this one. 

So what was the smart thing to do with 120k?  invest or whatever?

 

I was thinkin like a perv too.. but two top notch chicks in TJ only like $160 for 30mins..  so what am i gonna do with the remaining 50k?
