Hi, so I was recently approved for disability benefits at 349/mo, but I applied for disability back in December '15 so my backpay totals out to 10,470. I have also applied for SSI but don't yet know how much that will be so we will leave that to the side for now. After paying my attorney (who is owed 1/3 of my total backpay) I will have about $7000 of backpay saved up. Im going to pay off my credit card (only $300) and pay back some friends for money borrowed (only $200) when I receive that money but was hoping for some help determining more positive things to do with that money.
Would it make sense to try to invest such a small amount? If so, how? Is it best to just sit on it until I need it? Are there other common things in my life that I should spend the extra money on ahead of time to save me trouble/money in the long run? Any help is appreciated, thanks!
