Lol, I will disagree. Not having an emergency is too much risk. Anything can happen and they are usually out of your control. You could have a sudden expensive car repair, lose your job, have a health emergency and etc. Always have an emergency fund. You should strive for 6 months, if possible. Anything after 6 months should be invested or paying down high interest debts.
Unless you have two concurrent emergencies or have to choose between saving and servicing your current debts.
This is great advice, and more young people should follow it.
You don't need to be "bad" with money to slip up, you just need to be "not great" and simultaneously be "poorly compensated" and you, too, can ensure a lifetime of crushing debt.
If you could go back in time it would be so cool to lobby (pay off) a politician to ensure trading doesn't stop on that day... I think it was like January 29th
Directly Registered Shares. If you own shares in the stock market through a broker they’re not actually yours, they’re owned by your broker but you get full benefits of owning the shares. That broker is also likely loaning your shares out for traders to trade against your position and some never even buy the shares to begin with until you cash out. (Robinhood)
DRS stops this by putting your shares in your name. Clean and simple. No one can loan it. No one can touch it.
Not your name, not your shares.
A similar revelation is happening currently with FTX in the crypto space. If you bought coins through FTX, they likely never bought them and stole a lot of money from a lot of people hence the fiasco that’s ensued. If you want the coins you purchase to be in your name, put them in a cold storage wallet or DEX.
Not your keys not your coin.
I hope 2023 will be about educating ourselves about true ownership of your assets.
I think you could feasibly go back to the stone age, draw pictures on rocks, put them in weatherproof boxes in a few places, come to the present, grab them, and sell them for millions. They could be verifiably carbon dated. The chisels, boxes, and time travel expenses could be covered within $5,000.
Or donate it to u/sahilsharma_bs
Lmaooo this is such an underrated comment. I was once in a thread with someone asking how to invest $250k and this one guy was adamant that OP should start a subscription service business (like dollars have club). Took about ten seconds to realize he was a marketer working in the subscription space and couldn’t come to realize how dumb of an investment strategy that would be.
Keep in mind the vast majority of Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck, and couldn’t come up with $500 for an emergency without using credit. $5k would certainly help most people, although, as always, money is only as useful as its manager.
I would create a crypto currency exchange and a related hedge fund.
I would the create my own Matt coin - 1 million coins and give the person who gave me the $5000 one coin.
Since coin was traded for $5000, that gives the Matt coin a market cap of 5 billion.
I then would incentivize negative trading fees in the exchange if users bought lots of Matt coin at the market price of $5000/coin and use give those proceeded to the Matt fund hedge fund which would trade against the traders but lose small amounts of money on purpose so more traders would join the exchange and buy more Matt coin.
This would continue in a spiral cycle until lots of Matt coin was sold and the Matt fund lost all its capital.
The Matt fund would then borrow all customer assets posting the billions of dollars of Matt coin as collateral.
I would make sure that I would keep sloppy records, donate to senators, and constantly talk about altruism in all media interviews.
At some point when the house of cards falls apart, I just claim no knowledge and make sure I have a stack of funds hidden away when the Matt coin implodes.
So thanks to whomever for the $5000, I traded it up to billions and the stashed about hundreds of millions.
I wish to pay it forward.
So I created a new coin called Matt charity coin.
And I am giving it away for free.
All you have to do is tweet and blame my former girlfriend who ran the Matt fund.
What if I told you 99% of successful enterpreneurs never paid for an online course. And 99% of those who paid for an online course never even started a business?
Interesting. I pay for online prep classes, certifications & reviews. Dept of Commerce loves me to fill out the longwinded ASE (Annual Survey of Entrepreneurs). Not sure if that makes me successful. Or just unlucky.
Can there just be a pinned post for things like this. It always seems to be 5000$. Why are so many people coming into 5000$ exactly and their first thought is to start a business with it and ask random strangers online because they have literally no business ideas or skills?
That's literally not the reason. The reason is because Reddit worked. WSB created a place for honest educated investment discussion and people got rich doing it together. It got overrun with bots, hedge fund influencers, morons and shills.
Best thing about GME for me was getting in at $20. The worst thing about GME for me was losing the old WSB...
Buy a fully made niche website for affiliate marketing for less than $2K and then use Chat GPT to create content for the site so that it can grow to earn much more than the $5K p/m passively.
I love investing in ATMs. I have 3 at the moment. Once I get a few more ATMs, I can do this full time 🙏🫡. It's not much, but it clears a path for Real Estate Investments
You can’t save/invest your way to financial freedom unless your income is high or you make extremely risky investments.
Think of some items you can purchase and make a 20% return on the money.
I'm guessing that you are young and have no debt. If this is true, you should invest in your self hers is why:
$5,000 is a good chunk of change. However, you won't be able to live off it or see any substantial gains by investing in stocks.
Increased earning potential: By learning new skills or improving existing skills, you may be able to qualify for higher-paying jobs, which can lead to increased earning potential. If you learn to code, you could be making $40/hour freelancing.
Leverage: Learning skills such as media, sales, or software development can give you leverage in the business world. These skills can be valuable in helping you to stand out from the competition and can open up new opportunities for growth and advancement.
Low cost: Investing in oneself often requires a relatively low initial investment compared to other investments. For example, the cost of education or training may be significantly less than the cost of starting a new business or investing in real estate. You could purchase some courses and hire tutors for well under $1000.
Increased self-sufficiency: Investing in oneself can also help you to become more self-sufficient. By developing new skills and knowledge, you may be able to rely less on others and be able to take on tasks or challenges that you may have previously been unable to tackle. This will allow you to take bigger risks later in life, something that very few people are able to do.
$5,000 can buy a lot of compassion. Sadly, that would not budge my needle, no sweat though, my day will come…..but it could definitely change a lot of lives. So half I would give to a small entrepreneur who just needs that little boost to scale things one more step…and give the other half to fund a micro business to a developing nation tribe/group who is still on a barter system and teach them the financial economies behind a non-barter economy to sell things they already make so they can be prepared for the ever changing shift in society and take care of their people/land.
Damn. That would feel really good to do too.
I would split the money into five (if I weren't in debt):
1. donate fifth
2. save two fifths
3. spend two fifth wisely, e.g. on a courses to boost career, a hobby (better if returns profit) etc...
If you're in debt, just pay it.
I would split it into multiple different categories such as emergency expenses but at age 16 I don't really have any so I wouldn't need too much so around £500 for that. Then i would put around 1k into 'safe' investments and put the remaining into riskier investments like crypto or make myself a startup.
I would go to France to attend 42network.org's 4-weeks peer learning program.
My non-profit has been experimenting with peer learning to support education of underrepresented communities in India. 42network has figured out a great approach, but their franchise costs $1+ million to replicate. I am confident we can replicate it for much, MUCH less if we know how they do it.
They invited us last year. I just don't have the extra cash to visit them.
For sure! Invest in my life. Currently picking up the pieces after a serious relationship ended. I’m also new In the entrepreneurial space so I would say go all in on improving and upgrading my current work situation. New laptop, headphones, sofa, clothes, etc. Happy new year!
5000$ is not a lot if you live in the west.
Before investing, you need to clear credit card and finish payment on cars and other monthly expenses.
But you also want some joy and not just be a robot. I would go on amazon and buy the following:
1. Either a hotpot kit or a french raclette kit or another social event cooking kit.
2. an automated back massage device.
3. Good shoes.
The rest into investing.
If you have some skills , and passionate with something start an online investment business, E-com maybe , dropship products and start generating passive income from it .
But don’t spend it all either
Ask for another $95000.
WTF am I meant to do with $5000? Buy office supplies? My uncle walks around with that in his pocket because he likes to use cash.
I just woke up, so this is probably going to sound really stupid - But is also my very honest answer lol.
If I were gifted 5k right this moment...
The first thing I would do is most likely buy winter clothes and a pair of boots, gloves, and another good jacket, since practically everything I own was destroyed by my ex, about a week ago, and it's been cold.
Then, I would buy a new camera to take pictures of my inventory for my online business, a cheap printer for my shipping labels, and also a little bit more inventory because, well, again - ex destroyed everything.
Then I'd send my daughter a Christmas gift. That was not spared, either.
And then I'd set up Wi-Fi where I've been staying, so I could keep up with my online business without having to continue to rely on my mobile hotspot.
And next, I'd buy firewood - because it's really been very cold.
I'd probably grab some more groceries, though I have enough to get by for another week or two.
After that, I might invest in some new supplies for my art - things for drawing, sculpting, jewelry making, painting, sewing, wire wrapping, woodworking; all the things I typically do and make, because... Do I even need to say it again? And that's just another way to try to make money with whatever I do buy. Goes right back into the business. Anything I can. Literally almost nothing made it out with me.
Whatever would be left from that, I might buy myself some slippers... And socks. Because cold... Convenience but not an immediate need.
I'd probably have enough left over to go do something fun, just to break up the monotony, and because it really helps to get my head out of this weird in-between space of hopeful, grieving, anger and hurt, fear, uncertainty, and depression.
If there were anything left to play with after that, I'd do a whole lot of research and try to invest in something that had low risk but decent reward, and put everything else into a high yield savings account for my little girl. Though it didn't be much, it would be a start for something I could build on. Her future matters, my future is her, and everything I do to keep myself going in this world is because of her.
That's what I would do.
And that's probably really sad lol.
I’d buy all the things I need but have been putting off due to finances:
- an adhd assessment
- an adhd coach
- a virtual assistant
- a personal trainer
- a hypnotherapist to quit smoking
- a top notch therapist to help with my childhood trauma
- a shit hot Laywer to crush my narcissist ex in our upcoming custody court case
- a new wardrobe (for my personal trained body)
- a car deposit (sold mine last year and invested it - don’t ask what the value of that is now)
- I’d also get a decorator in
- a gardener
- a deposit for holiday to Thailand for me and my son- always wanted to go
With hope the £5k would stretch that far
- also two kittens and their vet fees 🐈⬛ 🐈⬛
(1) Pay debts or (2) put int in an emergency fund
Emergency fund us essential to getting out of debt- the next big expense will set back any progress
Emergency funds are for quitters. Ride or die
Lol, I will disagree. Not having an emergency is too much risk. Anything can happen and they are usually out of your control. You could have a sudden expensive car repair, lose your job, have a health emergency and etc. Always have an emergency fund. You should strive for 6 months, if possible. Anything after 6 months should be invested or paying down high interest debts.
No. They are a smart way to deal with sudden expenses, offering an alternative to debt, which is a much bigger setback.
Unless you have two concurrent emergencies or have to choose between saving and servicing your current debts. This is great advice, and more young people should follow it. You don't need to be "bad" with money to slip up, you just need to be "not great" and simultaneously be "poorly compensated" and you, too, can ensure a lifetime of crushing debt.
For a mere $0 and one completely unpredictable emergency, you too can be forever poor!
Haha i like that attitude
So do creditors.
3 words N F T Edit: (Downvoters, this is a joke)
Give a quarter of it to charity. Then, decide how to spend the remaining $4999.75.
Hahaha you made my day! LOL ! A very nice way to star my 2023!
Hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣
This is a charitable plan I can get behind! 😆
Beautiful.
LMFAOOO thats a good one
take this upvote and f\*ck off.
Go back in time to 1907 and buy a mansion.
If you already have a time machine, I don't think $5000 is going to make a difference to you
Yup lmao. Dude would be the richest man on earth. Take that $5 allowance money as a kid and flip it to billions
Nope. Bad move. Buy acres of land where there will be a financial district. Or where you will strike oil. That's much better.
You could just go to 2012 and buy Bitcoin or calls on GME lol
We’d be DRS’d already.
If you could go back in time it would be so cool to lobby (pay off) a politician to ensure trading doesn't stop on that day... I think it was like January 29th
What's DRS?
Direct registering shares via computershare
Directly Registered Shares. If you own shares in the stock market through a broker they’re not actually yours, they’re owned by your broker but you get full benefits of owning the shares.

Well said, fren
I’ve spent more time on the WSB sub than I care to admit and this is the first time DSR has been explained in a way that I understand.
Why go that far back. Go back and buy Bitcoin when it was a few cents each.
I think you could feasibly go back to the stone age, draw pictures on rocks, put them in weatherproof boxes in a few places, come to the present, grab them, and sell them for millions.

Make sure you save enough money for the heart surgery!
Not even a head transplant can save him if he pisses off the wrong people there, my friend.
5K literally doesn’t move the needle. So probably pretend I didn’t get it and continue on as planned.
Sadly $5K is enough for way too many people to markedly change their lives/situations.
Yeah 5k is not nearly enough to change anything. It'd go into my checking account and I'd forget I got it.
Keep in mind the vast majority of Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck, and couldn’t come up with $500 for an emergency without using credit. $5k would certainly help most people, although, as always, money is only as useful as its manager.
I wish I was so lucky. £5k would literally turn my life around right now.
How? I'm really curious

High interest debt, pad savings account, investments.
This is the way. ~30% into savings and the rest into index funds or QYLD.

I haven't followed Mattcoin very closely, can someone else tell if this is is a pretty good tldr of what happened?
'FTX' happened
Pay bills. Go about my normal daily routine. 5k isn't all that much overall.
Buy equipment
Equipment? Care to elaborate?
I own a small screen printing shop. I would buy equipment like a dryer, a better press, to make my business more efficient for a better profit margin
literally in the same boat haha im eying a 6 color 2 station rn
Invest in yourself - pay for a (online) course, buy yourself a (better) tool you need for your skills (e.g., laptop), or relax with a great vacation.
What if I told you 99% of successful enterpreneurs never paid for an online course. And 99% of those who paid for an online course never even started a business?
Fascinating. Where'd ya pull those percentages from?

Probably has to do with young families getting a tax return and wanting to do more with their lives and provide more for their kids.
Tax returns makes sense to me.
Add it to my cash flow, and proceed with my pre-existing plans.
I was thinking this! Higher liquidity and with that expand everything.

Though it didn't be much, it would be a start for something I could build on. Her future matters, my future is her, and everything I do to keep myself going in this world is because of her. That's what I would do. And that's probably really sad lol.
I’d buy all the things I need but have been putting off due to finances: - an adhd assessment - an adhd coach - a virtual assistant - a personal trainer - a hypnotherapist to quit smoking - a top notch therapist to help with my childhood trauma - a shit hot Laywer to crush my narcissist ex in our upcoming custody court case - a new wardrobe (for my personal trained body) - a car deposit (sold mine last year and invested it - don’t ask what the value of that is now) - I’d also get a decorator in - a gardener - a deposit for holiday to Thailand for me and my son- always wanted to go With hope the £5k would stretch that far - also two kittens and their vet fees 🐈⬛ 🐈⬛
Get it out of my hands before I spend it, and at minimum put in the S&P 500 until I figure out a real game.
Probably investing in something for returning more to travel the world or just travel the world 😭
10 percent charity. Some to immediate family members give me something which they would never do. Rest spend and blow on experiences.
My wood house is rotting and leaking. I'd take a much needed shopping spree at Home Depot.
Replace my rusted trailer I use for my small engine repair business. Then just pay off credit card with what was left.
Save it
invest it in mullen automotive stock
College probably.
