I've done small stocks in the past, mainly things that were considered "safe" and where I could cash out with a small return.

If I did something now it would be about a 5-7k investment. Which is a lot larger than the 500-1000 I was doing before.

Knowing this, I'd use a couple thousand to take advantage of the low oil prices (USO, OIL, DBO). It might be a while, but you'll make a good profit.

Max out your Roth with the rest if you have room to max it out.
Start a fully funded Roth if you don't have one.

I think it also depends on your current financial situation.

Do you save monthly? 401k? Roth IRA? Taxable account? Emergency fund?

Also, does paying off cc and car free up a monthly cash flow you could use for those things?

As long as you won't go blowing the extra "free money" by paying those bills, I'd likely use at least some of that for a vacation/experience. But that's all about your financial discipline.
