hang onto that through this recession. If you have a stable job and don't own a house, buy one. If you don't want to buy a house, invest some money in stock. If you don;t want to take a risk, put that in CD that will pay you around 2-3% interest.

Open a convenience store, if you have experience (yes, you can open one with $50000 - $60000 for inventory and fixtures in a rental space). Work all day - 3 shifts - everyday of the week.  Do not hire Nepalese. They will steal your money and blame you for not paying them enough no matter how bad/sympathetic you feel for them.  Good Luck.  I leanrt this reading several posts here in Sajha.

Do not keep your money idle, it will lose value.  invest in business if you know if very well.  Invest in sth that is most likely to grow ( i can tell you some but you have to do your own research)  Depending on where you are there a lot that can be made. Last edited: 10-Feb-10 10:17 AM

I would fly to amsterdam, smoke grass walking on the street, rent a boat and 14 hot prostitutes for a week, spend time having sex and drinking heineken. Finally come back broke! back here in the arrival terminal I would spend 6 dollar and 50 cents on chinese food from the credit card, have the dinner for that arrival night.     Last edited: 10-Feb-10 11:55 AM Last edited: 10-Feb-10 11:56 AM Last edited: 10-Feb-10 11:58 AM

Buy stocks, it's good time to buy and hold it for future.

Whatever u invest on.. think carefully, do more research... i guess it would be better to invest it on some business... but don't put on CD.. but instead till the time u invest keep it on some trusted online savings.

syal · Feb 10, 2010 11:16 PM

thank you all. i know stock is one of the best option right now but its hard to decide which one to own.

I am back again. Base on my experience ,here is the some informations for the person who is interested in doing business.I  had same problem .I had some money  3 years ago and I did not know where to invest and what to do. I started a Italian Restaurant ( pizza, sub pasta  etc...food  that the american people like) .I  purchased it $160,000 . Down paymant was 30,000 and the rest financed . Basically, I can say I started from 30,000. I have now 2 restaurants. I purchased one more last 8 months ago. From my first  one, the net profit is between $ 6,000 and $7000 / month after deduction of everything including finance charge .It means that is take home money. The second one is better than first one . Trying to get Master Degree is to make money for your future evantually. Investing in stock is trying to make money tooooo ,right ??? I intend to buy one more store near Wahington DC area  in next year .That would be Italian Food ,  American Food  and  Spanish Food   combination restaurant. No matter how the business is going down, every one needs to eat first .Keep in mind ,the American people ,they do not cook like us. Wishing you all to be a sucessful business man,

I would get a good degree from top school. Education is the most satisfying and yielding investment in the long run.
