How to Invest $5,000: What Would You Do?
For those who are risk adverse to those who are risk daredevils, investing $5,000 can result in a variety of payouts. Generally speaking, the higher risk you take, the higher the reward will be. $5,000 might not seem like a lot of money, but that amount after 30 years will net you over $50,000 with a conservative 8% rate of return. If you have the foresight to invest $5,000 each year for the next 30 years, your pot will grow to $662,000 using the same metrics. [These numbers obviously ignore inflation.] But if waiting 3 decades might seem like awhile, here are a few suggestions on how to invest $5,000 for different personalities and tolerance levels.

We caught up with this lively feline through Google Talk and asked her to see if living in Los Angeles is all that it’s cracked up to be.
The Cat’s Meow: The epitome of cool. To be used with extreme prejudice to describe items too awesome to be called baddass, sweet, or the duck’s nuts. [via urbandictionary.com]
