Put half towards student loans and then use the rest to buy a new car. Throw what’s left in savings.

Probably just put it in the bank and keep it for a rainy day. My daughter is about to go to college so maybe a good investment.

I told my wife if she dies before me and I'm able, I'm selling our current home and buying land and adopting all the senior and disabled pets any humane society around me has and take care of them the rest of my life.

Just put it in a money market account and use it for a down payment on a house.

Not sure this is good advice whether or not you have a house

Why would you want to tie up that much liquidity in a residence?

Why are so many wanting to pay down debt and not double/triple/quadruple the 100K, first?

I just sold my house in Baton Rouge and want something similar in the Houston area. I’ll be putting down way more than that to get the mortgage where I want it.

Can’t imagine having a 7k to 8k mortgage coming from a $2600 mortgage so I’m going to put close to 50% down.

Being debt free is great.

Also improves your cash flow. You can redirect the payments to investments.

At this point in my life, pay off both mortgages on my primary and rental properties. Would accelerate my retirement timeline.
