I have $100,000. What the hell should I do with it? I'm 24. I have no credit card debt at all. I never went to college, so I have no loans to pay. I still live at home, so I have no rent/mortgage. I drive a car that has already been paid for. I'm self employed, but it isn't something that really needs money "put into it." Like, I don't need better equipment or a bigger office or advertising or anything like that. What I'm wondering is, what should I do with this money? [more inside]
