Default what should i spend it on?? - 11-19-2006, 09:30 PM

alright, i just recently became eligible to take out my pre-comissioning loan from usaa. i'm sure most of you guys are unfamiliar with this program but basically it means i can take out a 25,000 loan which is locked at 2% interest for the lifetime of the loan. so basically its 25,000 in my pocket that i don't have to start repaying untill 90 days after i comission (which isnt untill may of 08). all of the "responsible" people say put it all in mutual funds and such. but i don't think thats very fun, so my question to you guys is...whats worth buying? or if u think i should invest it or something you can argue your points here too.

i'd say put some in mutual funds and then try to set some money aside for safe stock investments like Cadbury Schwepps or something like that. It may not build up thousands of dollars after 1 year, but it may give you some good money over a decade or two.

personally, i've always viewed motorcycles as a waste of money cause i've watched alot of my buddies drop alot of cash on them...and for what honestly, trying to impress chicks? ill wait till i have a mid life crisis and pick up a harley like everyone else. and for a car, thats a thought but i'm content for now with my explorer, even though gas kinda sucks.

and coleman i may end up investing it if i can't find some thing worth spending it on.

i've never been to europe, so i think i might set some aside for some european debauchery.

you won't need any other degree right eames? You may want to try to save it for some education expanding like a masters at some place?
