Getting a cash inheritance can be exhilarating, making you think about all you could do with the money. Although it could enhance your life, while thinking about what to do with the $100,000, you would be better off if you let the money sit for a bit. Take time to get some expert advice from an investment professional, a certified public accountant (CPA), or an estate-planning attorney.
Unless you already have considerable income, these professionals could give you many ideas about how to make your money go further. You also want to have some time to discuss your options with your family.
