That’s probably one of the worst possible things he could do with it. It’s very risky because you could lose it all in a house fire or if someone breaks into your safe. It also earns no return at all and loses value each year because of inflation.


I would compare that to the biblical parable when the servant entrusted with one talon buries it out of fear and earns no return for the master.

Pay off what's left of our only 1 car note. Pay off some medical debt, invest the rest.

I would just cut out the middle man and wire it directly to Ukraine.

Depends on 2 things:

1. As someone else mentioned, Does the government know about it?
2. Does my wife know about it?

Don’t worry. If it’s inheritance you’re exempt from taxes until it’s $5 million the last time I checked.

First thing to do is pay off any debts if you have any. Credit card, car loan, etc.

After that, put it in a low cost growth ETF (Vanguard, Fidelity) and don’t touch it. The S & P 500 (largest 500 companies in America) averages 9.5% per year going back 30 plus years. You won’t get that kind of return anywhere else.

Split it between a SP500 and Growth ETF evenly. VUG and VOO. Wouldn’t spend a dime of it.

That’s what I’ll do with my bonus which will be more than that.

Some people may scoff at this, but storage units are booming. Young and old people alike are unable to get rid of their shite and resorting to storage units now more than ever. I’ve even heard of mofos living in them. Owning storage units is like printing money right now.

I recently inherited a little money. Put 35k in a 4 month CD at 5.2 percent until I decide what to do with it. Another 20k in my money market savings at 4 percent interest. Left 10k in my checking for ordinary expenses.

What idiot doesn’t pay off their credit cards in full every month? Paying interest is for suckers.
