If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
Notes for future OT posters:
1. Please add the 'open_thread' tag.
2. Check if there is an active Open Thread before posting a new one. (Immediately before; refresh the list-of-threads page before posting.)
3. Open Threads should be posted in Discussion, and not Main.
4. Open Threads should start on Monday, and end on Sunday.
I recently came by some cash. What would be a worthwhile way to spend/invest ~3000 USD? I'm especially interested in unorthodox advice.
I am capable of letting the money sit for an extended period of time (4+ years).
No EA suggestions please, I have a separate budget for that.
If 3000 dollars is significant portion of your net worth I'd personally just keep it in cash (ie in a bank account) for the liquidity.
