If you had $20,000 to invest in something what would it be?

I was just curious what my fellow TBers would do with $20,000 if you had it to blow.

I think Id invest it somehow, maybe google or berkshire b stock.

What would YOU do with $20,000?

Half in ultra-vintage Fender basses and guitars and the rest in stocks and precious metals.

Something health care related. There's an industry that will keep growing with all of boomers hitting retirement.

I've always loved working with wood and off and on I have built/modded/rebuilt basses over the past 10 years or so. I think I'd take 20 grand and invest in all the shop tools, jigs, and handy gadgets I don't already have, maybe some decent tone woods and neck wood and start building basses on a part time basis, see if I can build a business for my old age which is swiftly approaching. Would you buy a bass from this man?

well...they have the whole $5 footlongs thing going on, so plus tax let's say 5.50 for one. 20K/5.5=3636.36363636363636363636363636

Real estate in an area that's due to grow. The market is down right now. Housing will go back up, and while it does, you can cover your ongoing expenses with rent.

There will never be a better time to buy real estate than right now.

Traveling, every cent. Not only a wise investment (as you know, the planets dying and all), but you come back with more knowledge and life experience than investing in any material item will ever teach you, and you'll probably realise you don't need that big house or new car anyway when you come back.
