- What To Do With $75,000? Ask the M-Network Earlier this month, I announced the M-Network's new Ask the M-Network feature. In brief, we'll do our best to provide feedback on personal finance questions (several members of the network answer each one). We are not financial professionals, so this is not professional advice. It's our opinions as people who write about personal finance. Today, I'm answering the following question from Mr. CM: I am 67, retired, only debt is $400,000 mortgage on a $2 million home. Just got $75,000 and want to know what to do with it. I want to MAKE money not lose it. I don't want to pay my mortgage down, I don't want to put it in the bank, I don't want to buy mutual funds. So what do I do to make money? Thank you.
