My grandmother is up there in age, and is doing her final planning now. She has decided to gift all of the grandchildren their inheritance early, and I have just received a $10,000 check.
While I know this isn't a lot of money, it's nothing to sneeze at either. And honestly, this is the largest amount I've ever owned. I don't want to p*ss it away, but I don't want it to just sit in my account either. I could use it to pay off some student loans but the dent wouldn't be much. I could use it for dental work but that doesn't seem like much either. I would rather make it work for me and grow into more money.
Is this amount too little for a financial advisor? Should I bother seeing one?
I live in Hawaii, I make $17 an hour and basically live paycheck to paycheck. Don't own my own home and judging how property values keep going up I won't ever. I want to have security but also want to be able to have fun. Please help.
