I paid off my house, now what?
 

So now that I've got a couple grand extra a month, what's the first thing I should buy?

If you've paid off your house, what did/do you do with the extra money?

Consider yourself amongst a select and very fortunately blessed few in this world.
Buy a bottle of Crystal to celebrate, along with the finest cigar in town.
Frame the letter from the bank, as again, relatively speaking, few will ever get one.
Besides that, buy whatever it is you see you want.

I'll tell you what we did about four years ago when we paid off our house.

Not much for awhile.

Save, invest, have lots of fun, buy cool stuff you wouldn't otherwise, that's what we did.

Of course now we are looking to sell our house and move since our local real estate market is high, and buy a nicer house, cash of course, in an area where prices haven't come back yet.

We'll see, we are still looking to develop a source of income which will allow at least one of us to quit our job.

Good luck, and congratulations!

No man is an island. Save for a few months and do something extra special with the family.

Re: I paid off my house, now what?
 

America is broken and getting worse. Save your money, use it to buy land or gold.
You don't want to be caught with no money or liquidity when the bottom falls out
either, so invest in a mattress with pockets.

Re: I paid off my house, now what?
 

Congratulations! Put some in your vacation fund, put some towards awesome cigars, some towards fine aged whiskey, and put the rest towards a classic muscle car. The rest you can just waste. :)

Re: I paid off my house, now what?
 

Congrats on paying off your house! If you've been wanting something then go out and buy it. Perhaps a "just for fun car" if you have the extra room for it in your garage?

Use your vacation time and travel! Experiences are the best gift you can give yourself.

Re: I paid off my house, now what?
 

Get naked and run around the neighborhood.

Get your bucket list cigars and enjoy! Save a little, spend a little, and run around naked.

Buy a time machine, travel to next year, fetch all the nfl scores for me, come on back, and trade me for cigars. :tu

Edit:
Forget that, do what Jamie said. Buying Detroit never even crossed my mind.

Re: I paid off my house, now what?
 

Unless Robocop is involved that deal, I wouldn't buy. Detroit is such a shithole lol

Re: I paid off my house, now what?

Do NOT buy Detroit, I am from there and don't want it changed into a giant shooting club. Oh, wait....never mind. :r

Re: I paid off my house, now what?

a beautifully restored 3rd Reich swizzle stick,
Rosemary's baby,
a dream date in kneepads with Paul Williams,
a new Matador, a new mastodon,
a Maverick, a Mustang, a Montego,
a Merc Montclair, a Mark IV, a meteor,
a Mercedes, an MG, or a Malibu,
a Mort Moriarty, a Maserati, a Mac truck,
a Mazda, a new Monza, or a moped,
