I would donate 10% to my favorite charity/church.I would pay off any personal debt that I hadI would add to my emergency fund to have a minimum of 8-10 months reserves The remainder would then give me my foundation for determining which direction to invest and I would prepare a shortlist of my Top 3 prospective investments and then research each of them and their attributes and pick the one (s) that meet my defined goals the best.

My opinion is why pay to save a few dollars - use your energy to finding great equity packed deals (get involved with Power Prospecting) - when you are close to a great deal ---- refinance or get a credit line - use your equity power to grow your wealth - don't be passive at this point.I have been too conservative in the past and loving my equity and net worth - the power with cash and equity is amazing - MONEY - is a powerful commodity - create it and use it to achieve your goals.
