- Use it for a huge down payment on a house
Depending on where you live and the local real-estate costs, $50,000 could be a gigantic investment on a house. Think how many couples try to do it all at once: the wedding, the house, and soon thereafter the kid. By putting all that money in a house, your investment has a very real return over the course of your life together. For starters, the bigger the down payment the better the financing deal you can get. See your investment pay off immediately in your monthly mortgage!
