What would you do with $300,000 to make it grow? Start a business, invest it, school?

i don't need to put it into real estate, I am not looking to spend it. This is money that I want to grow or do something with that will develop into perpetual cash flow. Just looking for the range of ideas and perspectives on how people view a pot of $300k.

If I were you, I would first put it in a high interest savings account so that it can earn at least 4.5% APY. You will not get rich there, but it will be a safe place to keep the funds as you learn more about long term investments, mutual funds, retirement accounts, etc.

Doug Fabian likes to say on his podcast that the first thing you have to do once you acquire $1 million is to make sure you don鈥檛 lose it.

Make sure you understand everything you are investing in before you put any money into it. Best of luck to you as you plan your investments!

Believe it or not, $300,000 is not too much money these days. I suggest you find a financial advisor and invest in some bonds if you are unfamiliar with the stock market. I would suggest a "high yield" bond fund if you want a good return on your investment every month.

If you are familiar with stocks, buy a couple of stocks in the DOW industrials that pay a dividend. Then wait!!!! You won't get rich over night, but companies tend to increase dividends every year. 4% return today, in ten years can be 40% a year on original investment. Bonds will still be paying the same. Good Luck

None of the above. Safest thing to do with it would be to put it into the bank, and watch the interest grow - ta da - you get more money for having money.
May not grow as fast, but it's safer than stocks x
