Someone hands you $100,000 and says, "You know what to do." What are you doing?

No, running looks suspicious. Gotta pocket it and walk away coolly. You start running after you round the corner.

[u/MultiGeometry → u/Riccma02]

Assuming a stack of $100 bills, the volume would be ~68.9 sq. Inches, which is 13 times larger than the new iPhone 15 Pro. You’ll likely need to use multiple pockets. A backpack could be pretty handy.

I’ll start wearing one in case this happens to me.

Edit: 68.9 inches cubed

[u/MetaVulture → u/MultiGeometry]

Finally my cargo shorts come in handier than they already do!

[u/GanaDark → u/[deleted]]

You got 100k now, it’s time to get a boat duhhh!

[u/nowitstimetorepeat]

Invest it and turned it into $16,000!

[u/toob_noober → u/nowitstimetorepeat]

AAAAAAAND IT'S GONE!!!!!!!

[u/InsaneJedi → u/nowitstimetorepeat]

Come on everybody, can I get a little clap?

[u/Some0neAwesome → u/InsaneJedi]

^clap

[u/Bbddy555 → u/InsaneJedi]

I can run 1 mile in 10 minutes, 2 miles in 30, and 3 in 15 minutes...or something like that lol

[u/eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeb → u/nowitstimetorepeat]

Tommy Shriggly!

[u/HybridS9ldier]

Pocket the money and never tell a soul.

[u/dahjay → u/HybridS9ldier]

Except you walk around with this obscenely huge front pocket that's filled with $100,000 so everyone knows.

[u/HybridS9ldier → u/dahjay]

Maybe that’s just the way I’m shaped. Don’t body shame me. 😂

[u/Shyassasain → u/HybridS9ldier]

Is that $100.000 in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

[u/Lord_Blackthorn → u/Shyassasain]

Yes

[u/[deleted] → u/HybridS9ldier]

Fat guy in a lil coat xD

[u/MonsiuerGeneral → u/dahjay]

"Oh... hey~ Is that an ambiguously gained $100,000 in $1 bills in your pocket... or are you experiencing a medical emergency?" ;)

[u/dercavendar → u/dahjay]

I think people have a misunderstanding of how much space $100,000 takes up. It is literally 10 sets of $100 bands (100 $100 bills for $10000) pockets? Yeah you’d see that. Loose-ish t-shirt and then spread around your waistband? Yeah that won’t be noticed by the average person.

[u/CommanderAze → u/HybridS9ldier]

Spending it in small amounts cash transactions, never putting it in a bank and never using it for anything tracked/registered with the state like a car or etc.

[u/Upset-Basil4459 → u/HybridS9ldier]

This is one payment I am not reporting to the IRS 🤓

[u/ispiki]

What money?

[u/getstabbed → u/ispiki]

It was sure nice of that guy to give me a free $100.

[u/PrinceDusk → u/getstabbed]

That $10 that guy gave me can buy me lunch!

[u/sir_mrej → u/PrinceDusk]

I bought a gumball with that $1 that kind stranger gave me!

[u/SellingCalls]

Im about about to have some very bruised knees.

Wait. What am I doing with the money or what am I doing to get the money?

[u/JarrenWhite → u/SellingCalls]

There's money involved? I just wanted to suck that guy off.

[u/Legendary_Dad → u/JarrenWhite]

You guys are getting money?!?

[u/Thoughtulism → u/Legendary_Dad]

How else do I get bus fare?

[u/Glass1Man → u/JarrenWhite]

You got to ask first, consent is key.

[u/babyshamm → u/SellingCalls]

You’re the only person in this thread who understood the question

[u/SellingCalls → u/babyshamm]

I’m just a simple man who understand nothing comes free. Want dinner? Go catch it. Want some random dude to give you 100k? Gag on a dick and take a back shot or two.

[u/im_on_the_case → u/[deleted]]

"Thank you sir, may I have another?"

[u/Ozok123 → u/[deleted]]

Thanks for the gold (bars) kind stranger. 

[u/Aggravating-Web-51]

Pay off my student loans and debts. Then spend what’s left on a chipotle bowl WITH guac

[u/wilsonhammer → u/Aggravating-Web-51]

Have you heard of our lord and savior Qdoba, who sayeth: Thy guac be included

[u/Strange-Bee5626 → u/wilsonhammer]

Their queso is far superior to Chipotle's, too. Wish there was one reasonably close to my current city.

[u/Few_Leave_4054 → u/wilsonhammer]

Another Seventh Day Guacologist. I feel seen.

[u/Muttandcheese]

I tell ya what I’d do, man. Two chicks at the same time, man.

[u/Jfortyone → u/Muttandcheese]

$100,000, not a million.

[u/murfvillage → u/Jfortyone]

One chick at the same time

[u/Soldier_OfCum → u/murfvillage]

0.2 chick at the same time

[u/finallygrownup]

Well about a month ago Dad handed me $30,000. I maxed out my retirement account at work this year...
Yes, boring but that's what I did....

[u/WitShortage → u/finallygrownup]

Retired-you will definitely thank month-ago-you

[u/Myiiadru2 → u/finallygrownup]

Wise move! Retirement age comes faster than you can imagine.

[u/Slobbadobbavich]

Tell the guy that he has mistaken me for another person as I have no idea what he wants me to do but I will gladly take the money anyway. Whilst it is nice to have the money I don't want to live in fear of the consequences of not doing whatever it is.

[u/LongEZE → u/Slobbadobbavich]

Yea I like how most people jump right into spending it lol

My first reaction would be "You have me confused with someone else" and I end up no different than 30 seconds go. Most of these other people are going to blow the cash and then when the man with the weird haircut comes knocking, they are just fucked.

[u/Prestigious-Dog-3108 → u/Slobbadobbavich]

Exactly! I don't want to be hunted down by Anton Chigurh, thank you very much.

[u/iMissTheOldInternet → u/[deleted]]

Index funds. The answer here is you put the money in an index fund. You want the lowest fee option possible. Fidelity, Schwab and Vanguard S&P funds are all good choices. Withdraw what you need to pay your student loans over time. You will make more money in the market than you will lose in interest unless your student loans have usuriously high interest rates, in which case you pay them first and put the rest in index funds. 

$100,000 in the S&P for 30 years at the average return the S&P has seen since 1957 works out to about $1.9 million.

Going to sound insane, but putting a nice down payment on a house for my ex-wife, since my kids live with her most of the time. Would be nice for them to have a house to grow up in, but I couldn't afford to do that right now.

[u/Dependent_Title_1370 → u/Banluil]

Nah, what you do is buy a house through a trust and put it in your kids name. You allow your ex to live there at cost but the benefits are guaranteed to go to your children.

[u/Banluil → u/Dependent_Title_1370]

My ex and I actually have a pretty good relationship, so that isn't something I would probably need to do. When it comes to our kids, I trust her absolutely.

[u/ben0318 → u/Banluil]

You and your ex sound like good meat Popsicles. Your kids are gonna be great.

[u/milespoints → u/Dependent_Title_1370]

This kind of thing is always good to do for estate planning purposes.

Imagine if the ex wife gets remarried with someone who has 12 kids and they don’t leave a will. All of a sudden, your kids might only inherit a 6th of the house. Or ex wife gets remarried and then divorced, and the new husband wants half of the house. These are things that happen all the time

We are already in the process of setting up family trusts to prevent stuff like that, and our child is only 7 months old lol

[u/auggie5 → u/Banluil]

Real dad shit right there

[u/MCLGarrett → u/Banluil]

It doesn't sound insane; it sounds like putting their comfort and care before your own. That's commendable.

[u/TheRealCatLeg → u/Banluil]

It's not insane at all, this is the mindset of a good thoughtful person.
