What would you do with $50K?
1. Quit your job and travel for a year
2. Down payment for a condo
3. Buy a new luxury car (I'd get the Mercedes C55 AMG, BMW 525i, or Acura TL)
4. Save for retirement
5. Invest in a start up business
6. Other
Weekend Update:
Thursday: happy hour at Tengu in Westwood...1/2 off sushi rolls and appetizers from 5:30-7:30pm at the bar. Later we went to the free concert at the UCLA Armand Hammer Museum. Even though I went to school here, this was my first time checking out the museum. They have a pretty good collection with some Picassos, Monets, Van Goghs, etc. Grabbed some drinks at Maloneys before heading to the Whiskey Blue at the W Hotel. Had some martinis and met Bobby Brown.
Friday: Ken and Kenson's birthday at Manna in Ktown...all you can eat Korean BBQ for $15. Afterwards drinks and karaoke at Orchid.
Saturday: volunteered at Project By Projects Food & Wine Tasting Benefit at the California Science Center. They had about 20 of the top restaurants in LA there...the food was great and I got to meet Justin Nguyen from Twenty One Jumpstreet, Ted Chen, David Ono, Sung Kang, among others. Later headed over to Giant Village to party. Digweed played one of his best sets. Afterhours was at Avalon until 9am.
Sunday: free Shakespeare in the Park in front of the Aquarium of the Pacific lawn in Long Beach. The play was Antony and Cleopatra. The acting was really good and entertaining. We brought a blanket and picnic and wine. Highly recommended. Afterwards we walked around and had some drinks at Mai Tai Bar.

Orchid's such a nice karaoke place huh? and dude...this is why I love your xanga....cuz now I know I can go watch a Shakespeare play for free lol
sorry couldn't join you guys for the volunteer event -_- you know i was up to no-good
that shakespeare play does sound interesting. thanks for the recommendation!
nice...sounds like an awesome weekend. how was the concert? i'm sketchy about going to those things. just because they might suck and my night would be wasted...
You got to meet Dustin Nguyen?! Oh hell yeah. What a hottie. haha Better yet, you ate at Manna...yummmmm....I hate your blogs. All you do is tease your audience about what you do and eat. Boooo! haha
man you're always going out, hehe. Good stuff
.
hi there, quite an adventorous tour~!!! do you work??? soot bul guirim is on 6th and manhattan (a bit east off manhattan), they have one of the better quality of meats if you care or not. manna is awesome cuz of the outdoor, but the food is bleh. the Hammer is quite an under-rated museum, during may there west wing should be concentrated on asian(american)art if your interested in that kinda stuff. have a great week fellow yellow mighty bruin =)
thanks for the comment. i know what you mean. but i think it's impossible not to have any expectations whatsoever. you know? it's like, ok... in theory. but in practice, whenever you have even a loose, loose, loose commitment to something, there is the lowest of low expectations that maybe it will come to fruition. you know? i mean, it's inevitable. there is nothing without the expectation of fruition... the remote chance. at the very, very least. say... coffee. let's meet up for coffee. and no, you don't think that it's GOT to happen. but then, conversely you don't think that it will NEVER happen, because then there is never an appointment at all in life if you think like that. so there has to be the minimum. and i think... generally, i try and keep things to a minimum. and disappointment is to follow whenever you go above the bare minimum. meh. i'm just venting. thanks for the read and the comment.
reading your past three posts ... we have a Mai Tai Bar in Hawai'i. and Sunset Bar & Grill. and Dave & Buster's! haha, where am i?!

OMGosh...all five sound like good options...except for 3? Unless you start up a business, use the business to lease 3 and invest in 2 and eventually retire. So if you do 5, you are actually doing five of the six...then again...if you work hard enough, you can quit/retire and trave for as many years as you want! hmmm...yea.
50K is an oddball amount of cash.. its too small to really do anything significant, and too large to just let it sit in a bank.. I'd invest it into the stock market.. but thats just me.. haha
i agree with gtfour. i'd invest it. or #5.
reply to the question above... i would put a downpayment on a house with a yard.... =) small yet quaint... since i dont have a house yet that's what I would do... did you win the lotto and not sharing your winning??!! heeheee... =)
im surprised i didn't run into you saturday... weran into EVERYONE and their mothers... we left about 3... had a room at the Bonaventure... =P
Invest it.
down payment. i need a place to live now.
Definitely a down payment for a place.
with $50, i'd use that to pay off my law school debts!
i mean $50k
with my situation right now..i say #2
You got to meet Sung Kang? I'd pay off my student loans and invest the rest in the stock market.
invest it of course! That's easy, hehe. 50k is like nothing. Need to make it grow
#4. Invest in your future!!
pay my credit card.
$50k ... #6
$50k isnt that much to use to go traveling for a year... you'd probably spend most of it on the traveling part...
i think investing would be the wisest for $50k
other.
i was thinking of going to the whiskey blue tonight...but might not have time. grah. but i'm going to the hammer museum tonight.
ditto for me. CC bill is killing me.
oh my gosh, your xanga is like a tour guide of LA hotspots
is that tax free? i say invest.
Invest in a business.
Wow... we must've run into each other somewhere along the line in LA because I've been to all those places myself... in fact, Digweed played a 10 hour set at Avalon the night my husband proposed to me (*surprised I remember that night- it was a crazy one!)
