Mostly Unconventional Ways To Spend $20k

 

If you’re a business owner and you come into a windfall of $20,000.00 – you’d probably want to make the most of it. Let’s explore some unconventional yet potentially rewarding ways to spend or invest $20,000.00. 

Invest In Agricultural Land Overseas (Estimated Return in 5 Years: 20-30%)

 

Agricultural land for sale

Imagine owning a piece of fertile land in a picturesque countryside abroad. With $20,000, you can invest in agricultural land overseas, where the return on investment can be substantial. In five years, your investment could appreciate by 20-30%. Not only does this offer a potential financial gain, but it also allows you to enjoy a serene countryside escape whenever you visit. I’d probably go for Costa Rica or maybe Peru, but the world is your oyster and you make your own pearl with this one.

Buy A Home In Italy And Renovate It To Your Liking.

 

$1 home italy

If your business allows you to work from anywhere, Italy is easy on the eyes and the palate. Many villages throughout Italy and the island of Sicily offer $1 homes, with the understanding that you’ll invest approximately $25,000.00 into renovating it within a few years. You can probably build a castle there for a fraction of what an apartment will cost you in the USA. Live, retire, vacation, or Airbnb the place with the help of a property management company. Whatever your intention, it’s likely to be a rewarding investment.

Start a Mobile Food Truck Business 

 

Investing $20,000 in a mobile food truck business can be a unique and rewarding venture. With dedication and good food, you can expect to break even within the first year and potentially generate a substantial profit within five years.

Invest In Impact Bonds (Estimated Return in 5 Years: 5-7%)

 

Impact bonds

Consider allocating a portion of your $20,000 to impact bonds, which support projects with a social or environmental focus. Impact bonds typically offer returns of 5-7% annually. In five years, your investment can grow while making a positive impact on society.

Give It To The Government

 

Give it to the IRS

You are a good old-fashioned traditionalist. Your brother-in-law has prepared your taxes for years, you’ve never implemented proactive tax planning, and you ignore all of ISCPA’s offers for a free tax reduction assessment. Business has thrived, and you’re ready to part ways with an extra $20,000. You’ve worked hard for it, and you can’t wait to share it with your dear friends at the IRS again. The best part about this choice is that it’s familiar and requires almost no action on your part. You simply work hard at your business and do NOT contact ISCPA to implement tax mitigation strategies. The IRS will always thank you for it with an excess bill of at least $20,000.00. Yay!

Hire A Financial Dominatrix

 

Financial Domination By The IRS

Not only will they take your money almost as quickly as the IRS, but they might rough you up a bit too – since you’re probably into that sort of thing.

Contact ISCPA To Discuss Your Best Options

 

While we may poke fun at the idea of giving away your hard-earned money to the IRS, it’s crucial to understand that minimizing your tax liability is a smart financial move. Tax planning, deductions, and credits exist to help you keep more of your money and invest it in ways that benefit you. So, take advantage of ISCPA’s free tax reduction assessment to explore all available options to avoid paying excess taxes while staying within the bounds of the law. After all, wouldn’t you rather spend that $20,000 on something that brings genuine joy and value to your life… or at least indulge some, ahem, unique urges?
