What would you do with 100k?

[Soerdu]

Serious question although I'm totally expecting funny answers too.

What would you do with 100k to make the most of your future?

I'll add a brief poll but am looking for genuine answers.

I've put save but realistically would probably buy a replacement car then save the rest for DC uni funds (x3)

I wouldn’t contact an SJP practise that’s for sure

Not touch crypto with a bargepole.

Instead it would be utterly boring stuff like clear my mortgage, finally get the major house improvements that need doing (roof, windows, kitchen and bathroom) and then it would be a 3 week family trip to Maui. In that order but honestly, after the mortgage there'd be hardly any left to finish the refurb.

Shove it in the best possible savings account to pay towards private school for 2 kids.

Pension and savings probably with the potential to lump some off the mortgage.

Pay off mortgage then do kitchen and bathroom.

Pay off that proportion of the mortgage.

I would use it to pay for a loft conversion and extension on our house.

pay mortgage

Save!

Due to being a US citizen abroad I can't invest in hedge funds and the like, so I'd just find an account with a good rate of interest and stick it in there and up my pension contributions too

Some home repairs, a nice holiday and a chunk off the mortgage.

Haha I'd put it all into crypto

Pay off last bit of mortgage , buy DH a new car and stick £50k in pension / investments

I’d quit my job and start retirement early.

Ooh I would max out the pension for a few years, pay off a chunk of mortgage and get the house repainted.

Great problem to have :)

100k would be life changing for me!

I'd pay off my 7k credit card debt
I'd spend maybe 5k on my first ever car
I'd put around £50k down for a house deposit
I'd spend 3k on a nice holiday with the kid
I'd save/invest the rest

Leave DH tomorrow.

New (2nd hand) car
max out pension
invest

40k on mortgage
2k on debts
10k on a holiday
20k upgrading my car

And the rest to use my heating however I want through this winter 🤣

Put it towards a new house.

Pay into a high interest savings account, then draw some down each year to pay off as much as I could of my mortgage without hitting early redemption charges. That would allow me to pay off my mortgage at leat 5 years early and retire sooner. Then I'd travel.

Build an extension on my house

Totally depends on personal situation. High interest debt paid off first. Then a combo of low and medium risk investment, emergency fund and pension payments.

Pack a bag, call a cab, and go.

Probably finish off the jobs on this house and then pay off most of the mortgage with view to move again in about 2-3 years.
