Before we talk more about what types of investments you should invest in, we asked our readers about what they would do with their money and what they want to invest in. So, let’s throw in the $50,000 cash question to our readers. One reader responded as follows.

What would you do with $50,000 if you had it today?

“If I had $50,000, I would first payoff all of my outstanding credit cards and other bills, purchase two tanks of home heating oil for this coming winter, use some to take a much needed vacation, and then invest the rest of the money. Investing in the stock market is risky so I probably would put the remainder of the money either in a mutual fund or a bond.”

This is a perfect answer. Our reader will first take care of his immediate needs which is to pay off some bills (obviously important to him), make sure his house is warm for the winter. Then when he has some money left over, he would invest. You need to live your life as well and you cannot just spend every last cent you have towards an investment. He also has some knowledge of investment vehicles and yes stocks are riskier than bonds usually. So, investing in bonds or mutual funds would be a good way to start his investments. But, he must make sure that he will not need the money he is investing because most of the time bonds and mutual funds are long term investments. But, he will learn all about that later on from our blog posts. Thank you for sharing everyone.
