Spiritually Speaking: Is it EVIL to buy a 100,000 Car?

23 Apr

Yah so, I can FINALLY afford my dream car but it comes with a pretty heavy price tag. I went down to the dealership to test drive it and came so close to buying it, but I started to feel like a total jerk.

I mean I give to charity, but not close to as much as this car costs. I don’t want the car for status or anything, in fact most Americans aren’t even familiar with this particular car (Nissan GTR)….

School loans are paid off and so is my home so it’s not like I’m being totally irresponsible and blowing the dough and have any other major bills to pay.

But there are children STARVING all across the globe…what do you think? Evil to blow that money on a car?….

just because i drive a $100,000 car doesn’t make me an evil person?

why do people think i’m either spoiled or a bad person or evil to people just because i have money to spend. i hate this character assassination bulls.h.i.t. i give big donations and i help out people i try to help community. yet just because i have money people label me as a spoiled evil person. some people think if they see me on the street and if i talk to them i’ll think i’m better than them and i did have that happen. why are people so cold hearted labeling people without knowing them just because they have a couple of extra bucks to spend?

How would you invest if you were about to come into over $100,000? What are some surefire ways?

16 Mar

I am about to receive a settlement for over $100K and I am interested to know what I should do with the money. I do plan on paying off all of my debt plus my car payment. The remainer I would like to invest into a variety of options. I am leery of stocks. I do have a 401k plan at work which I plan on investing more and I also have some ING accounts which I will probably get more. I am interested in seeing a financial planner. $100K isn’t much but I would like it to grow. I am not in a bind to where I need the money. I just want to make wise choices i.e. IRA’s, money market accounts, small trust fund for my neices and nephew, savings, etc. I do plan on making a donation to charity and start a small scholarship in my name of course.

What should I do with this money?
I should add that I am not looking to buy a house since I still wouldn’t be able to afford it in the area where I live. I could possibly put down some funds on a house and flip the property but that costs a lot of money to do.
I am almost 30 so I am still sort of young!
Thanks ! Keep the advice coming. I appreciate all answers. I did consider keeping my car payment open. I know $100K isn’t much but it’s a sizeable amount to do something with.
