Hey all,
So I just got 3rd in event 25 of the WSOP and have a rather large (for me) influx of money, we'll say 200k after some purchases. Right now I have it sitting in a Jumbo MMA making 5%. Is that the best place for it? Are there any secrets I should know about? Real estate doesn't seem like a great place to sink money right now so I am looking for alternatives. |

Jurollo,
200k after taxes? If I were you, I'd start learning about the stock market. I'm sure people will have some general ideas here, but you might want to post this in Business and Finance if you haven't already, they'd love to talk about how to play with 200k. |

Ming,
I don't know if J was staked or sold pieces or swapped or whatever other financial arrangement, but it was posted here that the final 3 chopped for 400k each. |

What is your financial situation? Do you have any debt? Credit card/school/otherwise? Give us some background. What are your living expenses? Where do you live/what do you do now? Do you own/rent? Where do you live, etc?

![]() 1.) Pay your taxes 2.) Pay off any credit card debt 3.) Consult a financial advisor....even people at your bank will do this for free I would still advise buying property if you are now renting. Even if it doesn't appreciate before you move, it's better than throwing money away every month on rent. |

by-tor,
It's always a good time to buy or sell real estate, at least that's what the lady on the teevee said. Yeah, an inexperienced investor sinking 200K into an "investment" property in CA would probably be slightly worse than investing it in lotto tickets. Vanguarg Voyager. I believe 250K gets you the special status with free consultations and stuff. Oh and diversify, diversify, diversify. J |
