How to spend?

Contact · #1 12-07-2002, 02:07 PM

I have only been working for a couple years. I unexpectedly came into a sum of money equivalent to a few months salary. The wise thing would be to invest it, but I feel like this money came to me by good fortune so I should spend it on something. A nice vacation, a surprise gift for my parents, maybe charity. What do you think?

Invest it. Or take some and hook yourself up a little bit, but I would invest most of it.

Congratulations on your good fortune!

Let it continue to bring you good fortune by investing it.
Put it in your savings account or a Roth IRA. Perhaps a money market.

Make a wise decision.
Best of luck!
