Hello everyone so in october my mother passed away from a long 2 year fight with lung cancer. My parents are split so as an only child I got everything. She didnt own her home but from the car and her retirement accounts i ended up with just over $130,00 I used some of it to pay off my car and bought a new gaming computer (which looking back i didnt really need) and a few other things. But my question is, what should I do with the rest of it? I am currently living with my grandmother and need to stay here as shes getting rather old herself and she needs someone to look after her, also her house is almost an hour closer to my work than where I was taking care of my mom so it's very convenient for me to stay here. I'm hoping to buy the house off of my father whenever she passes away because he owns his home and would almost certainly sell it. So there is a part of me that wants to leave the money in savings or investment accounts to hopefully have it there when I need to buy the house I'm currently living in as I dont think I'd ever really have a want or need to move. Alternatively, i could go to college and graduate with 0 debt and. I do have almost a full semester of credit from advanced classes in high school but I've never really been the kind of person who felt like school was right for me plus I'm already on a career path that I can make a decent living from, that I enjoy, and dosent require a degree. And lastly, I could use the money to open a business but I'm not sure what kind of business I would run, I could probably open a subway franchise withought needing a massive loan as I hear they are pretty cheap but my belusiness experience dosent extend pass ap classes and FBLA competitions in high school (I did make it to nationals one year but i understand that I'm still quite far from being fully prepared to run my own business) So basically, what would you do if you were in my position and why? I'm just trying to get some different perspectives. Thanks!
