What is the best way to make money with $100,000?

To be blunt I have gotten a decent sum of money. After getting the family new house, car etc. We will have a good bit left over to make money off of. I am not looking to get rich fast or anything, but looking for something where I can get a decent interest check monthly or quarterly. If that is not possible (as I am finding out) I still can use the best option for some kind of growth.

There are so many options out there it is hard to find the best deal. I have been going all over town where we live speaking with everyone who says their plan is the best.

If you can help with input on which of these are best or anything I might be able to look into that I have not please let me know. Thanks

Stocks – Seem more like a big gamble right now due to the economy

Mutual Funds – Seems to be my best bet so far, fairly safe and steady growth

Annuity – Doesn’t seem practical right now since the money is normally locked up til your 59ish. (i am 30 right now by the way)

Life and Viatical settlements – Seem morally wrong to me so I would not do those.

CD’s – Have no intrest rate right now, might get about 1.5%

Savings Account – Close to CD looking at only 1%

How much money did Captain Wentworth eventually make Jane Austen’s Persuasion?

I’m doing a report for school, and I can not find this detail in the book. I thought it said its somewhere, but maybe I’m wrong. I know Captain Wentworth started out with no fortune, and that is why Anne originally broke off their engagement. However, he did go on to make a large amount of money in the Navy. I thought the book mentioned it somewhere, but I’m having a hard time finding it there or on the net. Does anyone know the amount?

Has anyone purchased an Annuity for the sole purpose of hiding money from Colleges on the FAFSA application?

In researching reasons to purchase anuities, no one has on their list of reasons, to hide money so it does not appear on the FAFSA college form. The less money you have the greater the possibility of you receiving more aid from a college for your child. An annuity is one item that does not need to be declared on the FAFSA form. Has anyone else done this and what were the results from the colleges as far as granting aid? Also what type of annuity(s) did you purchase?

When I reach retirement, can I use my 403b to buy a house without paying tax on the money?

Or if instead of buying a house, I want to buy a retirement annuity, would I have to pay tax on the sum of the 403b and then pay tax each year on the money from the annuity?

Personal Finance and Money Management 34 – Types of Deferred Annuity

As we mentioned in other articles, the government only represents about 30% of our retirement income,, the company retirement pension plan offers another 30 % and many of us do not have one. It is up to individuals to invest wisely short and long term in order to make up for the short fall if he or she would like to live comfortably after retirement without giving up some retirement plan. Now you have reached your retirement age, there are some important investment options for your RRSP or 401k plan. In this article, we will discuss characteristics of deferred annuity.
Deferred annuity is a contract that delays payments of income, installments or a lump sum until the investor elects to receive them. This type of annuity has two main phases, the savings phase in which you invest money into the account, and the income phase in which the plan is converted into an annuity and payments are received.

1. Fixed deferred annuity
a) A fixed interest deferred annuity is a product that is designed to help you accumulate funds for your retirement.
b) The money in your annuity earns a fixed rate of interest and the fund in deferred annuity accumulates on a tax-deferred basis.
c) You do not pay taxes on your earnings until you actually withdraw them from your policy.
d) You can choose to lock in your interest rate for different periods in this type of annuity and the money can be used to provide guaranteed lifetime income.

2. Variable deferred annuity
Variable annuities invest in the stock market with the tax advantages and other security including bonds, money market funds. At the request of the annuitant the money can also be used to provide income for the rest of annuitant life.

3. Equity index deferred annuity (EIA)
a) Equity index deferred annuity earns interest based on performance of stock market index such as the S&P 500.
b) An EIA guarantees that your principal investment will not go down in value.
c) In any given year, if the stock market go up, you as owner of EIA will enjoy additional gains. If the index goes down, your principal investment will not go down in value.
