I’m coming into about 250k in a couple months from an inheritance. It’s currently in stocks, bonds, REITs. It doubles roughly 7 years, so I’m told by my financial advisor. I could take it out in cash or leave it there for it to slowly grow.
My situation right now is rough. I’m living in a small apartment, can barely pay rent, my electricity just got shut off a couple days ago, my car note is 4 months behind. I work a dead end job and I’m broke as hell.
I want to use my inheritance to help me out of this rut. Not to spend it all on useless crap but either a home, or a business (PASSIVE preferably). I don’t have many business skill sets or anything like that. If I could make money online that would also be great. Not sure where to go
How do I begin with my little experience? It takes money to make money right? And I have that shortly so… what would you do?
Take out the bare minimum to improve your life, if any at all. The more you Save on there, there better. Compound interest is like a snowball rolling down the Mountain.
Rent a small place, buy a bike or small car depending on what you need to get to work. Maybe find a hobby or skill you can learn as a side-gig.
Keep living below your means.
