Jacqueline W | What should I do with a 20K inheritance? |
The inheritance is actually 30K, but I will be paying off 10K of debt. There is no tax on this amount, as it comes out of Probate. What is the best way to invest (securely) this money? Perhaps a CD?
Additional Details
I would like to save this money long term (retirement), and perhaps add to it over the years. |

Good idea on paying off that debt. Next step...open up a Roth IRA. If you don't know what one is search the Internet for "roth IRA" and you'll get all kinds of interesting links. You should be able to contribute $4,000 this year and $5000 next year.
What you do with the remaining $11,000 depends on a lot of things. But if nothing else you can hold on to it in a CD til 2009 and contribute another $5000 to your Roth without worrying about your contribution coming out of your salary. Having $11,000 in the bank or a CD will give you a great feeling of comfort - there is nothing that makes your rest quite as nice as money in the bank.
I also think I'd head over to my public library and check out some books - Dave Ramsey, Suze Orman, Jane Bryant Quinn are all good writers on this subject. They can give you advice for the future on what to do with this windfall and with your future earnings. Good luck - this is a nice problem to have. |

I am a professional investment advisor. I have found that there is a recurring problem with the questions that are asked on this site. There is usually not enough information being supplied by the asker to accurately answer your question.
What we can try if you seriously would like a professional answer would be for you to email or Yahoo Messenger me. Re ask your question and answer mine. We could then have more meaningful dialog and help you more efficiently. It now becomes one on one personal help. You can now compare my answer to the other ones you got on Yahoo Answers and make the right decision.
By the way for the others of you who are reading this response you can email or Yahoo Messenger me with any comments or questions you have and we can also have private dialog.
I will be happy to email you my full credentials when we connect. |

A CD is a terrible option. Sure, they offer a "guaranteed" interest rate, but the payoff is that YOUR money is locked away until the end of the investment period (90 days, 6 months, 1 year, whatever) with penalties for early withdrawal.
At the least, invest in a low fee index fund such as offered by Vanguard or Fidelity. By index fund, I mean a fund designed to match the growth/decline of a major market index like the S&P500 or the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
You could also seek out a financial pro. If you do so, stick with wrap fee investment accounts that will generally provide a diversified portfolio for a fee of about 1.5% of gross assets with fund expenses in the 1% to 1.2% range (for total fees of 2.7%). That is cheaper than directly purchasing A shares of mutual funds. You would be surprised how far you can spread $20,000.
Caveat emptor: *most* financial pros will not spend a lot of time on such a small account. 1.5% of $20,000 is only $300 in fees for the entire year, of which they will probably only see about $100 in their pocket before taxes. I'm not saying they won't help you, I'm just saying you shouldn't expect endless hours of slavish devotion to your portfolio.
Lastly, I strongly recommend you invest the money post haste. 80% of individuals who inherit money wind up spending it all in a year. Don't let that happen to you and your windfall. |

Have you got a ROTH IRA? Put money there if you are thinking of funding your retirement. You may have to split it up over a few years for the best benefit. Meanwhile put the remainder in CDs. Ladder the maturities so the money becomes available when you need to move it to the IRA. They will help you with this.
If you have the funds in a credit union account and need a loan later, you can generally get what is called a share secured loan. Typically this is 3% over the rate of return you are getting - a cheap loan. |

Find a financial advisor that you TRUST. Interview a few for their investing styles. There is an "investing recipie" based on your age and at what age you want to retire.
If you are "young" you invest (___) this much money for
(________) this much time.
If you are "old" you invest (________) this much money for
(___) this much time.
Time is the one thing that can make a huge difference in how investments perform. Yes, you can get lucky and get in the market at a hot time or get into a great stock or fund just before it explodes and does amazingly well. Over the last twenty years, nothing has outperformed the stock market for consistent investment returns. Back in 1987 the DOW was at 3000, and now it is above 14,000! What this means to you is better market security because of a broader base. Shifts up and down are more buffered, because the market is SO big now.
You mentioned CD's. I have one for a year, and it is earning 5.25%, which was a GREAT rate. It was through a credit union, not a bank, which can get better rates than regular banks for some reason. I'm not so financially knowledgeable that I know this reason, I just know to check credit unions for their rates as well as regular banks.
If a CD feels "safe" to you, that's what you do. It's your money, and your comfort level. No matter what me, or anyone else tells you, it's your decision. My investments in the stock market are earning between 10 and 18% now, and I am quite satisfied with that. I am feeling a bit let down by my Great interest rate of 5.25% in the CD I have. It's all about your perspective.
Good Luck and Tallyho! |

Could you provide a little more information? What purpose do you want to save the money for? Retirement, college for you or your kids, house fund, etc? If for retirement, what age range are you in? Please provide a few more details and I might be able to help.
