marko:
What's the smartest (most future potential) way to spend 50k?

I'm an undergrad, and have that all saved up.

Haha.

They're already all invested in some stock funds.

This is what I call a well executed humble brag

The answer to your question is 1) network 2) get involved 3) beef up your resume 4) repeat -happypantsmcgee WSO is not your personal search function.
 
Edmundo Braverman:
@illiniPride I have to take issue with your signature line. True leadership is defined by the words, "This is what I'm doing. You're welcome to follow me."
The quote comes from the military. The idea is that in order to be a leader, others have to trust you enough to follow.

If you neither lead nor follow, you're simply independent IMO.

The serious answer is pretty much what illiniPride is saying....use it to invest in yourself. Retirement accounts, useful books, professional clothing and travel that introduces you to new experiences and cultures is a very valuable use of the money.

 

Use it to pay membership in the elite organisations which are not expensive - such as Blue Shield for example, or really anything that you feel affiliated to.

Then use it to get in touch and network with the elite members, such as royalty or exalted families.

It will pay off, you will make great contacts and perhaps a few real friends. Don't forget to be yourself.

P.S. In the example I have referred to Association of National Committees of the Blue Shield (president is Karl von Habsburg)

 

Ut facere voluptatem sunt velit. Corporis qui quasi perferendis harum. Et rerum est non et animi.

 

Nemo vel ut molestias. Alias nam voluptate porro atque consequatur reiciendis. Nesciunt at commodi aspernatur delectus error. Quaerat aliquam voluptas non ipsum numquam. Non ut natus incidunt iure sapiente. Rerum ipsa sapiente aperiam sint nisi doloribus labore.

Vero et occaecati tenetur. Cupiditate rerum quaerat porro nulla dolor. Cumque qui et ullam ab totam esse. Esse architecto mollitia magni qui velit eveniet.
