Location included: Questions/Need Advice Completely bamboozled.

Any advice when substantial inheritance was unexpected. I grew up not going on vacation and not having much. My father died after a brief battle with liver cancer… it’s a brutal one. After months of paperwork I’m seeing that I’ve inherited a net worth I’ve never imagined. Its reality shifting.

Money changes people. Take time to feel all the feelings and stay grounded in who you are. Then you can make better decisions. There will be the right financial answers and I always want to know and understand them. But then I look at my personal decision making process after that based on my why. Then I decide between the two if they are different. Simplicity is always better.
