<prompt> Human: Im 30 years old and I inherited 154,000 in cash. I work a full-time job that pays 10.50 an hour. I dont have any debt except for a house loan with approximately 46,000 on that. I have relatives living in that house, and they could pay me rent when I pay off the loan. I want to learn how to drive and I will probably have to use a driving school for that. I dont have any financial education. On the common topics wiki for this subreddit, I am probably at step 0. Im very anxious about losing this money. I want to invest a good portion of this money. What should I do?  <response>: You cant lose the money unless you do something you shouldnt, but unfortunately, the world is full of people that want you do to those things, including your friends, family and financial products salespeople. Dont tell them about this money.Just put the money in the bank for now, then gradually figure out what you want to do with it. You dont have to do anything with it for six months, a year or even longer as you learn more about your goals and options.
