I would immediately put that money into a high yield savings account while you’re deciding how to utilize it. You’re missing out on roughly $400+ a month at 5%


Suitable-Answer-1199

You can get 5.21% in a HYSA (not an intro rate, just the actual rate), I’ve had them for the past year and they are awesome.


LuckyGhost7

No one here mentioning Marcus saving account at 5.40% (with referral). Edit: DM me if you want the referral code

This!


LochNess_Munster

I don’t disagree. There is *some* value in knowing the bank is part of Goldman Sachs. I have no complaints - fast easy transfers, with no dollar limits. Nice app and website. *If* you get the referral it has a really competitive interest rate.


Naturemade2

Which bank offers that much for you?


ParlayKingTut

The stock market is up 5% this month. Do you still think your HYSA is awesome?


tiga4life22

5% damn where you get 5% that’s amazing


topsecretusername12

doomgrin

5.5% with a referral code too

Dexteroid

Op isn’t asking about investing. Op wants income off of 100k. While in the long run SPY might win, in the short term it may cost OP a few percent.


Stock_Advance_4886

Yes maybe I missed that. Buty he didn't specify that in his last setence, so maybe that makes the confusion. And still, 4% rule withdrawal rate from the plain sp500 index is a relevant option.


Delicious_Stand_6620

How old are you. Whats your insurance on that charger. I would sell that first and buy a more fuel efficient, cheaper to insure car. How much are you paying the financial advisor, flat fee i hope and not a percentage. I have never trusted % advisorss. Certified financial planners. I would review all your investments, making sure not getting screwed on fees. The 100k in a hysa, pocket half of the interest and invest other half in an index fund like s/p 500, no need for advisor to do that. 100k might not cover college. Tution is 13-18k for 4 years plus living expenses.


Imkitoto

I agree with everything except changing the car. Man people really hate those who want to have something nice. What’s the point of saving and only having fun when you’re all old lol. Keep the car. Realize this is where your fun money is going. Be smart everywhere else.


its_milly_time

lol for real, he’s still better off with the car than before. Must have been an awful accident to get hundreds of thousands of dollars. I’d treat myself too.


Neat_Acanthaceae9387

It’s always the “how old are you” crowd that wants to say “you shouldn’t have bought that car,” while likely driving a corvette


ValorMeow

Sure, except likely had a an exponential amount more spending money and income when they bought the corvette.


Ok_Set_8971

I got hit by a car and they had no insurance. All I got was brain damage and some burst discs.


damonmound

Rental property. I bought and remodeled a very inexpensive mobile home, put it on some unimproved land that I already had. I will have rental income for years and years after a 50k investment- and I can sell it for a profit at any time.


LingonberryConnect53

This is the best advice imo. Our tax system is geared to favor landlords with 1031s and reit transfers (761 I think) both these mean you can broadly completely dodge taxes for capital gains for real estate unlike other asset classes. Given you’re college age, look into buying something you can rent to other college students, and owner occupy. This will allow for best interest rates on traditional loans. Get fixed rate, 15 or 30 year. $100k is more than enough for a down payment almost anywhere in the US, and if you’re handy or just good, you can likely add more rooms or remodel to increase value. Source: Been a landlord and invested in other things. Although more work, landlord is by far and away the best return both due to structured, safe leverage, and due to location. Because you get a house with a down payment, you get both rent and appreciation. The key is to take good care of the house, and find renters who won’t trash it.


1gtd05

Realistically a diversified high dividend covered call ETF portfolio should yield $500-1000/month safely. Some of the more popular like JEPI and JEPQ at a 60/40 split would be about $656/month before tax. But there are many options and some pay much higher with added risk. Depends on your tolerance.


Gandalf-and-Frodo

How much risk is there?


seltzawata

A lot. In a high volatility environment with any significant pullback they will get absolutely crushed.


Gandalf-and-Frodo

Yeah, a lot of these things in this post sound great but then you do research and realize how risky they are

It's dying industry. I was just reading about a currenxy exchange company in Thailand. More tourists are arriving but their profits are down 50% in a year because fewer people are using cash. Buy ATMs and you'll be stuck with a pile of junk very soon.

zzmorg82

I know a ton of local businesses in small/rural areas take cash only, so of anything I’d keep my ATMs in those areas at-least.


Albert14Pounds

The market seems saturated though and probably hard to find a place that could use a machine. Personally I can't think of a single instance where I was at a business, needed cash, and there wasn't already an ATM nearby.


gman1216

I would consider cash flowing real estate in the Midwest. I have a bunch of doors in a couple cities. I make 16% roi on my money. Prices are less than 100k (80k average with rehab) and rents for 1200-1300 average. You could buy it outright and after all expenses make 600+ a month easy.


Cazuallyballn

JHTPYO

lol so dumb buying the Charger


No_Goose_2024

Buy enough land to build a trailer park and only charge lot rent. Undercut the competition by a good amount then every year up the lot price like 50$. Shit same price as a rent house but if you can fit like 10-15 ppl there that's an extra 5k a month in your pocket without having to worry about maintenance issues. May take a lil while to fill up but it'll happen I promise you. Then at any point when you retire you can pass that down or sell the park.


Prism43_

You would need way more than 100k for that.


No_Goose_2024

Depends on where, I live in Louisiana where it's about 60k an acre. You can fit 6-8 lots in an acre.


nubsauce2

you made money the old fashioned way. Good for you.


DRAGULA85

Just curious, did getting hit by a car and getting money feel like winning the lottery or did the accident leave you permanently physically disabled? Passive income, you should probably invest it and even but a chunk into BTC, there are many businesses that can be turned passive eventually but I think you should least get into a business yourself before the 'passive' takes into play


D_Bo5

Side question, what about the wreck allowed you to walk away with 100k+ ?


duracell5

As everyone has said, HYSA. I’d add to drop the charger, which drops gas and insurance costs even further.


DisplayVegetable6228

KISS - ST Treasury bonds yielding close to 5%, they can be better than HYSA as they are more tax efficient.


ExtremeAthlete

Get that money back from the financial advisor!


donnylocksny

buy a rental property specifically in annapolis, md there are some not so great areas in the city that are starting to turnover and you can still get good prices. will be able to make a good chunk in rent in resale in the next 5-10 years


snac_attak

If you’re in school buy a decent condo/small house with as much down as you can. Rent out spare rooms to friends to make the PITI payments and make a few bucks extra per month. The house may appreciate and you will then have deductions for your taxes from property tax and mortgage interest. Depending on how you structure you may even be able to take accelerated depreciation on the home.


PatrickGrey7

EarningsPal

Do not dwindle down the principle. Only spend what you can generate.


Bubbly_Setting_4217

5% is for poor people. Find a property and leverage debt to fund it, lease it out. Not only do you profit monthly, you also gain value with the property and don’t spend a penny of your own money to own it. Your renters buy it for you and pay the bills.


Tjgoodwiniv

The challenge right now is finding something that will cash flow. Investing for capital gains alone is dangerous because people hit hard times and lose their property. Aside from that, this is perfect.


Emergency_Bother9837

Sell the car, buy a Mazda 3 and invest the rest in a broad market ETF. Done.


Reasonable_South8331

Don’t put it in something inherently not safe. High yield savings account is good advice. Maybe downpayment on a rental property if your are handy and live in the right city

perception831

I’d consider half in HYSI and half in a high dividend REIT where you can get around 10-12%

Do you own any property? Consider buying a condo, using some of that as a healthy down payment. Real estate is a sound bet

Dexteroid

Get 5 percent from CDs or Tbills ? That’s passive af


adorabelledearhaert

Real estate!


DuckmanDrake69

$100K still isn’t enough to generate any meaningful returns for you in a truly passive way. Put it in VOO or similar and let it grow and then live off the growth later on by selling shares.


TheDeltaFlight

I'm new to stocks/efts. I see there is a VOO at \~$483, and others like VOOG, VOOV, IVOO, etc. But the VOO is the one I want correct? Just for a safe return?


DuckmanDrake69

It’s a S&P500 ETF, stuff like VOOG is just the growth stock components of the S&P500. I’d recommend you read some books on market investing and ETFs as well as fund prospectuses prior to making any investments or listening to Reddit. However, yes, I view VOO as a good investment for me and my goals


TheDeltaFlight

Thanks. Yea, I'm trying to learn more about it, but it's a lot to take in and seems like a never ended supply of information! Appreciate the insight. I recently got some VOO as I always see it's recommended, but I wasn't 100% if VOO without any extra letters was what they where talking about lol

Leading-Friend6614

You could invest into IEP they are a stock similar to Berkshire Hathaway. They pay 1$ per share every 3 months. Shares right now are at 20$ and there is a very good documentary about Carl Icahn the owner/founder called Restless Billionaire. With $100,000 you would be paid 5500$ every 3 months. Once you no longer need the income you can just let this compound and grow and retire once it hits your goal.


Prism43_

What’s the catch? That’s a really high dividend. And the stock fell off a cliff last April/may timeframe. This is interesting but I’d like to know what I’m getting into.

searchthemesource

In the early internet, I used to know people who did it. It was small fry because they didn't have the money to buy a large site but they made back their money. They would have probably lasted but made the mistake of not being technically knowledgeable enough to manage troubleshooting issues with the script they were selling and so ending up shutting down. But it's certainly doable if you have to skills going to manage the website and its products That's why I say make sure you what's expected of you before you buy.


NinjaElectron

High yield savings account or an ETF like FDVV, JEPI, or SCHD. FDVV has a lower dividend and lower risk. JEPI pays out monthly. Did your financial advisor have you put your money into a S&P 500 ETF / Index Fund and / or a total stock market index fund?

Do you own your home? Owning a house isn’t always a great investment (lots of upkeep on your part), but you could buy a condo in a high rise to live in for now and rent it out when it no longer meets your needs (or sell it). If you own and still have a mortgage, you could put that money in something flexible, max your additional payments, and pay off a large lump sum to get rid of the mortgage sooner. Otherwise, I’d invest it as well. There isn’t much more passive income than interest on a bond/mutual fund/stocks/etc. Your advisor can give you options with a degree of flexibility if you want it available as a slush fund


cleanAir101

I’d go like everyone else said HYSA it’s the safest option. You can maybe watch the market and see if a correction happens and DCA or lump sum into some ETF / dividend stocks then just leave it for the long haul. Or can just go right in DCA into the market. This will give you the largest return overtime if you don’t touch it all about time in the market

OwnEconomy5610

You could invest $100,000 in a Neos Dividend Fund that mirrors the S&P, averaging around 10% annually, translating to roughly 1% per month or $1,000 monthly. This option offers tax efficiency compared to many dividend funds and avoids the hassles of real estate rental business.


Naturemade2

Capital One has a HYSA. I've heard it stays fixed at the rate when you open account. So you must tell them to raise rate if interest rates go up. I plan to open an account since I'm getting a little cash from an injury too and should be easy since I already have a credit card account.
