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?

How about ... pay down as much of your debt that you can. Draw down the money to live off of while you fnd a job or business you want to master and volunteer to work at a place of your dreams for free. Learn the ropes and start your new life with the remainder of your money.

The wealthy do things that other people value. You want to be wealthy not always running from bill collectors.
