OFMGWTF?!?!?!

Derka derka Muhammed Jihad!

Well, if I was you I would open a gay-bar. Luckliy I ain't you so I would probably put aside, say like 45k or so. Then I would use 5k to buy some stuff I need etc.
a tip, if you gonna place in bonds/stock etc, make sure you know the market first. :D

I invested 60% and bought a car / traveled with my inheritance. I'd suggest smart investments. Market is low currently, stocks will come back up within the next few years. Leave it in, within 3-4 years your 50k could be 80-100k easily.

or in yourself... pay yourself first. for if you pay others before yourself in the end you will be the one on that rock.
 
Re: if you inherited 50k irl

If you have any debt get rid of that.

Buy yourself SOME nice shit, and bank/invest/bond the rest of it.

put it into a money market savings @ 2-3% apy, invest 5k annually (or whatever's the max limit) into my roth, use that to pick actually good investments...

yeah. I don't think i'd bother with my loans, personally. i'd continue to pay them off at my current pace. well, maybe my sallie mae, but eh.

Pay down any high interest debt and invest the remainder in retirement funds.

I would NOT put it into a money market account. Inflation is at 3% right now and is going to continue to climb so unless you are getting 4% or higher interest you're not making any money.

Same thing with CDs. I saw a thing on CDs the other day advertising 1-2% interest, that is absolute garbage. You would end up losing money. Besides not being able to touch that money for an extended period of time.

You're best bet is to take some and pay off any loans or credit cards with high interest rates and then invest the rest into mutual funds or municipal bonds. Depending on what you chose you should be able to get 5-6% interest.

And you really think with the trillion dollars that this government is spending it's going to stay there?

Look at the trend for the past 9 years the average was around 3% with last year being the highest at 3.896.

I'd put a down payment on a house. It'll appreciate even as you use it.

How the hell do you live off the interest of 90k? Even if you're getting 10% on that, that's 9k a year... I couldn't even pay rent for that much. And you're not getting 10% in a low-risk investment.
