re: If you had a free year and 80k what would you do?

I really only clicked this thread to see how quick this got posted.

I don’t know your finances but $80k shouldn’t be play money unless you have $1,000,000 in the bank. It just seems dumb to blow that in a year.

I'd have to concur with this.

I don't know how old you are, but if you're fairly young, having $80k right now could pay much larger dividends in the future if you utilize it wisely.

For the sake of your future, at least save/invest half of it. I get the whole YOLO mindset, but there's a bright line that separates being adventurous and being foolish.

Put half on a land down payment, pay off the student loan with 1/4, buy a tractor, go to work on Monday like always.

You won't have 80K very long after Sancho puts one in your Culo

1. Spend 30-40k of it on a nice enough used land cruiser with as few miles on it as possible. Mod it out as much as I could in that budget.

2. Have it shipped to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska

3. Fly up there

4. Spend 12 months driving the Pan-American Highway
