Question If You got 70K But had to Move...

I'd spend $40-50k on the cleanest Prevost or Beaver motor coach I could find (knowing I could get ~90% of that back when I sold it)

and use the remainder on a nice low key place to park and live in it (monthly) while I figured out the rest.

^ that's a good idea.......but save some money for weed.

Or, you could totally do Jerry's Middle Finger tour for a year.

Or invest some of it : "After 10 years, with a 10% annual return, your $50,000 could potentially reach $129,687. This is close to the historical average for the stock market."

Hate to say it, get out of California.

Go to some shithole state where no one wants to be, never let the toothless locals know you're anti-MAGA and pray for rain.

Only slightly kidding.

I would've bought more Reddit stock 18 months ago when it had its IPO at $34 a share. It closed today at just over $270. That $70k would now be worth about $555k.

Way to rub it it in Mike.

Jeez.

id want to do some serious visiting first but ive always thought it would be cool to live in some of the rural areas outside of asheville, NC

>>>some of the rural areas outside of asheville, NC<<<

Toothless MAGA land?

Maybe not..... but lock & load.

I'm moving right now for the first time in over 39 years.  It's part geologic strata layers, and part archeology...   and since my new place is much smaller, it's a game of purge vs pack, w/ purge mostly winning!  Had more guitars than I thought I had (13), w/ the lap steel, 5 string banjo, tenor banjo, mandolin, and Esraj (Slurpee Indian instrument).  The basses are in another room.  

I'd love to get $70k, could really use it, but i'd be tempted buy a trailer and find a trailer court, the last bastion of cheap rents in our arthritically inflated world of extraordinary rental prices!  Another would be get a RV, and camp out at the appropriate places through the year, maybe being a volunteer for free rent.  (Oct / Nov / Dec at Shore Acres state park on the Oregon coast, volunteering at the gift shop during the Holiday Lights, catching the huge waves vs rocks, etc, then down south for the winter).

Leavin' town, or just moving horizontally?

I'd take 30 of it and buy a 4Runner to replace the one I sold years ago. I'd put the rest in the bank for gas money for fishing, and an occasional bag of something 

Oh, Noodler, I feel it. Good luck. I have lived in my house for 49+ years and as you have instruments I have art and craft supplies and anything that could be used for art or craft. I keep everything. I used to ask Greg for a dumpster for a holiday gift and he would say in all seriousness, "Why? You don't have anything to get rid of."
We had 2 houses and he kept everything, too. When he was dying and we had to clear his property to sell, it took a group of us weeks... I've sort of started here, but it's tough.

I can relate Judit.  It's been fun finding old gems;  High School Clothes (i'm in my 60's), stacks of sheet music, lyrics to songs I don't remember writing, menus from cafes that closed years ago, piles of clothes, music gear, old band posters...   the excitement of discovery has taken over the depression of liquidation and change.  But it's a LOT of WORK (and dust!!!).   

 The dust: I have to wear a mask when I'm going through old stuff if it's not in some kind of container

I'd move to the midwest, but a decent 2 bed, 1 bath home for 40k. Set up the 2nd bedroom as a small grow, undercut dispo prices, and "work from home", so to speak.

That would be perfect as i want to get the fuck out of here and back to Pennsylvania so yeah please and thank you

Dillon Montana - nice little town - little chilly in the winter but SO WHAT.
