Consider the Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund with a current compound yield of ~4.71% APR. https://flagship.vanguard.com/VGApp/hnw/FundsSnapshot?FundId=0030&FundIntExt=INT
If you are in a high tax bracket you may prefer their tax exempt money market funds: https://flagship.vanguard.com/VGApp/hnw/FundsByType
Sometimes other institutions will have a higher teaser rate, but Vanguard tends to have the highest yields I've found over the long run. (Vanguard money markets are not FDIC insured, however.)
Article on teaser rates:
http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/banks-advertised-rates-dont-always/story.aspx?guid=%7B0A13B6E2-FFB2-4E2B-BD42-E2D1E01C52E5%7D
ING and HSBC often have rates close to Vanguard, and most of their products are FDIC insured. Bankrate.com provides links to CD's with high interest rates. You can check these at the following links:

( If you are investing for a long period of time and are willing to accept some volatility, you should consider putting some money into no-load low-expense mutual funds. These are not guaranteed, but over the long run produce much higher returns.) |

Many options: one of my favorites,first, buy paid up whole life insurance..with a one time up front paid up premium..with future interest that will accumulate,re-invested into paid up additions... Immediately your cash out value will be your investment money, available to you from day one..PLUS, the amount of Insurance will grow year to year.. Accumulating additional insurance policy value.. AND , non of the growability is taxable.. Giving you a good insurance amount down the road if you should need it..A certain amount into long term hi-yield time certificates..Establish and I>R>A> traditional or ROTH>> Max out contributions every year. If you own on property ,pay it off!! Look at the interest you pay each month on that loan..When paid , thats like gettting the interest paid to you each month in that amount.. If someone says, you get to write that interest off your income tax, thats right, but only 30cents on the dollar.. Pay it off and you keep 100% of every one of your dollars.. If you still have money left over, after ALL your debts have been paid, Have a stock investment broker ,advise you with regard to QUALITY, blue chip, companies to invest with.. Lastly, forget about the interest and dividends on your investments, and do stock and dividend re-invest..Roll your interest over to the new term on your long term CDs..COMPOUNDING, is all you want to think about.. Your making it today with what you got.. We're planning your future!! Do all of this and you can't miss.. BEST OF LUCK !! SOLOMON |

Depends on the size of the inheritance after you pay all your taxes.
The closer it is to $1 million or more the more inclined I will be to invest it in secure bank notes like CDs or bonds that have guaranteed paybacks. The reason is simply that you can keep it in a CD indefinitely and earn a "Salary" sized return each year. Very low risk.
Alternatively you can put it in stocks of secure companies that pay good dividends. There's more risk here than you may need though. The bank is the better road.
I would keep my current job and try to keep as much of the principal in the account. Remember also that inflation keeps rising and eating at your total worth.
The good news is that if you have that much in the bank you don't have to worry about losing your job anymore. You can survive without it! :-) Congratulations. This doesn't mean you're set for life though. You still have to work because you still need to eat and make house payments. But if you ever feel as if your job is not worth your time, you can leave at will. |

a variable annuity could provide investment gains while providing some downside protection.. i would investigate putting a portion of your inheritance in a variable annuity...but only if all of your other financial needs have been met
seek out a trusted advisor..one you already know or have a sound referral....variable annuities are not for all investors |
