What would you do

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

Come April 15th when I will have approx $13,500 in free cash come into me, now my question is what do I do with this money? I already have my reserve fund setup, and my stock market account setup.

 

Currently i'm 22 yrs old and in a successful career with what I feel is solid job security.

 

Now my question is I currently have a motorcycle loan at 4% paying approx $390 a month in payments on that.

 

I also have a stock market account which is growing quite well valued at approx $6,000 now (just starting my retirement savings)

 

Do I take the cash and pay off my Harley loan with a little bit left over

 

Or do I take the cash and invest it into the market?

 

If I pay off my Harley it's mine free and clear and it also gives me $400 extra a month in cash flow.

 

I'm leaning heavily towards paying off the Harley because it's just a fun toy and if I ever get into the situation where I need to sell it I want it to be mine free and clear.

 

What would you guys do?

 

O and selling the Harley is not an option, a man has to enjoy the fruits of his labor!

As long as you have some cash on the side in case of emergencies I would say pay off the bike then pay yourself $390 a month (build up your saving or put into a DRIP).

I think that makes a lot of sense and will go that way, much better to have it free and clear now then later.
