How to Spend $100,000

 

9. The Best Airline Is a Private Plane

Owning your own airplane is the ultimate luxury, provided you are not bothered by some small details. You have a check for 100 grand, and that's not enough to buy a jet. In fact, you're several million dollars short. What you can buy is a nice turbo-prop. If flying on one of those doesn't frighten you, and you don't mind tight spaces, then your plane has landed. We found plenty of single-engine planes for sale, but two engines have to be better than one. This 1979 Beech Duchess 76 is yours for $82,900.

10. Move to Your Own Private Idaho

The housing market may have soared in many areas, but that's not always the case with land. In fact, you can have quite a bit of it, if you don't mind getting far, far away from it all. We found this picturesque 22.4-acre spread in Idaho for $97,500. This spread does have its advantages: It's stunning, at least from the photos, and it appears to be somewhat accessible. A gravel road is apparently nearby.
