I would buy rental properties in mid sized towns that have a few large universities or colleges. I would leverage that money to buy 4 or 5 and have a property management company manage the properties.
In 20-25 years those properties would be paid off and the rent would serve as my retirement income.

I'd do what I did with my first 100g's. Buy a house, drink like a fish, travel to random places, and generally waste it.

Hookers, blow, and then I'd just waste the rest.

Hookers and blow is pretty cliche.
Why not just go all out and smoke something and start an adult film business?

The adult film producer has always been a dream. Mrs. Impaler is slowly coming around, thanks to the power of my vision...

You don't want to know what I would do with it.

So she's agreed to allow you to use your living room as a talent casting agency?

good answers so far, mostly the ones i expected....hookers...blow...real estate etc..
let me change it up a bit...... what would you do if global sh*t was about to hit the global fan. peak oil is upon us sooner than later, global inflation and currency devaluation will erode all fiat money? how would you preserve your wealth? how would you use it over the short and long term?

Gold, but only gold that you can actually touch with your own hands, not bank notes.

She hasn't come around that far. Ever since I saw SCTV, I have aspired to this...

i've been chipping away at buying silver, mainly because i believe the gold/silver ratio has to come back to historical levels sooner than later and because it would take too long to save up for one ounce of gold. i can buy 10-20 oz of silver every few weeks, but i can't with gold.
i've also started accumulating organic, non-hybrid seeds. it's not so much an investment rather than food security.
any other ideas?

To be honest, I wouldn't worry yourself too much. Alot of people are doom and glooming. But I have a feeling it will work itself out....
wait...
What do you do for a living?
PS. Gold and silver is pretty much the safe way to go. If you can't afford actual gold itself then buying silver is a safe bet. Anything else will really come to bite you in the ass if the predicted global meltdown fails to come to be.

I am curious, where do you buy your silver? Do you keep it at home in a safe?

You can buy it from certain companies and they essentially give you a "lockbox" where they store it for you under your name. Or you can hide it under your mattress too.

sure, some people are doom and glooming. am i completely on that boat? no. but i do feel like we are in for much worse times than we are good times. rising interest rates to curb huge currency inflation from all the bailouts (printing of money with nothing of value to back it), dwindling cheap oil supplies all over the world.
i'm looking at 5-20 years down the road stuff here. all long term stuff...the short term is too unpredictable.
