In CA this wouldn't get me what I could get else where ha! Somewhere else, I'd but it all twds a facility!!
1. First I'd pay off my student loans- Roughly $25,000
2. I'd buy a custom saddle- Roughly $5000
3. New Truck- Roughly $30,000
4. New Trailer- Roughly $16,000

5. I'd take about $4,000 and shop- breeches, custom boots, polos, belts, vests, jackets, show clothes, bridles, bathing products, girths... you name it!
6. With the last $20,000 I'd save it for anything that might come up :)
How would you spend $100,000?
I'll probably do a post on this, but preliminary thoughts: 1/2 to student loans; ~30k on a custom two-or-three-horse trailer; 5k to shopping; 15k for an Oldenburg baby. No need for savings b/c paying off student loans would save me a lot of money each month!
ReplyDeleteYeah no student loans would help us out SO much too! I have been paying them FOREVER!
DeleteFun! Saddle, truck, and trailer for sure! Lots of lessons for both of us. Maybe a new cart, or a well trained Haflinger that drives. Boots.
ReplyDeleteIf only it was real money haha!
DeleteLove this fun idea!
ReplyDeleteRight! :) Wish it was real!
DeleteI would buy a horse for about 2,000; a small two horse trailer, probably around 5,000 if used; tack and supplies, maybe 3,000-5,000; a year's worth of weekly lessons, which is about 2,600; I would go to several famous horseman's clinics over summer, including Buck Brannaman's---3,000?. I would also buy several acres and start an ex-racehorse retraining/rehabilitation center---50,000?. Honestly, I can't think of many more things I'd buy, so I would save most of the leftovers to go toward board, feed, vet bills, etc., and the rest would go toward college.
ReplyDeletenice! :)
DeleteIs this 100k before or after taxes. Probably should halve it from after taxes
ReplyDeleteMy understanding is $100,000 cash no strings..
DeleteI would basically spend mine the same but also including a large show fund :) Oh how nice it is to dream!
ReplyDeleteDreams!
DeleteLove this idea! Might have to dedicate a post to it too, although I did just make a sales shopping dream wishlist which included pricey items like saddles, field boots & a Theault or Equitrek 2 horse truck/van...that'd all eat into a chunk of a $100, 000 :-D
ReplyDeleteWould love to find someone to work with who'd help fill I the gaps in my eq education and geberally make me a better rider!
DeleteRight! Wouldn't it be fun if you really had that money!?
DeleteAmen sister!
DeleteOh, I do love this blog idea! I must do also! although, my answers will be quite similar to yours.
ReplyDeleteDo it! It's a good filler and fun to do!
DeleteThat is exactly my list! I'd love to say goodbye to my student loans...
ReplyDeleteright!!!
DeleteTwo words: farm mortgage. After I paid back mum for all her amazing help!
ReplyDeleteNice! I'd love a farm too!
DeletePay off debt, buy a horsebox, and custom saddles for all my horses!
ReplyDeleteOh great list!!
DeleteTruck and trailer for me for sure. Then savings.
ReplyDeleteBut you picked a Chevy.. So I am judging you ;P lol
ReplyDeleteHaha my hubby is a mechanic.. he is a great Ford mechanic (if you catch my drift).. we wouldn't buy anything but a Chevy ;)
DeleteLove this. I'd put ALL the money towards student loans. After that, we'd pretty much be able to afford almost anything!
ReplyDeletehaha right! I would have an extra $550 a month!
Delete#$#@$@-ing student loans. I hear you. If I didn't have a good plan in place for paying mine off, I'd swing this money at them too.
ReplyDeletehaha yeah i've paid off most of mine but would love to have them gone!
DeleteA new pony for me! And the rest in savings for shows!
ReplyDeleteGet it girl!
DeleteThat's pretty much exactly the same as how I would spend it. :-)
