How would you invest $100,000

Here we go again.

It really depends on your situation. We really need the variables in your life to help you with this answer. Are you old? Young? Kids? Job situation? Own a house? Just want to park it and if so, how long? Risk tolerance?

VTI lump sum

Park it in VOO, if your retirement age isn't until 55+ you'll be fine. Likely make more over the time versus a savings account.

The last two weeks I put six figures into a private equity group for the company my wife works for and a down payment for 140 acres in South Texas that came up for sale next to my place in South Texas.

VOO is solid advice

This scenario has happened to me in the past with life insurance or selling a home. To be honest, nothing really changes. You keep executing whatever investment strategy you had before usually or you do something you’ve been thinking about but didn’t have the needed cash for like buying land or doing a business deal that had a minimum investment requirement. In my experience, $100,000 doesn’t really change your life like people think it would.

$15,000 vacation. $85,000 in VOO. Watch it double twice until you retire in presumably 20 years.

Fund your tax advantaged accounts first. If you don’t have these, set up a Roth IRA. Fully fund whatever is available from your employer. Pay off any debt financed at more than 5%. After that, I’d probably park the remainder in a high yield account making 5% or more and start dollar cost averaging on a weekly basis into an S&P500 index or total stock market index. You want to set up an investing habit you can sustain into the future.

70% VOO 30%VTEB for my 55 y/o wife.
