My dad worked as a college professor for close to 30 years. His retirement is through CALPERS. My mom is entitled to 1/2 of the 13 years that they were married. I get the other 1/2 + the full amount available after their marriage. My mom anticipates that I'll be receiving close to $100,000.
Now, I'm 28 and don't have a damn clue about finances. I need to decide what to do with this money ASAP and am in desperate need of your help. I know that I don't want taxes to take 20% if I touch it, that's for sure. I also know that I would like this money to continue to grow.
Eventually at some point I'd like to get married and buy a house, although I'm nowhere near that now. I also plan on going to nursing school at some point which could cost around $65,000, but I am hoping to get through school without touching this money if at all possible. Or should I just use it on school so I don't have debt?
Someone please help?
