<prompt> Human: Hi there reddit. Thanks for reading my post. Recently I have been diagnosed with an auto immune disease which at this moment is knocking me for six. Currently I cant work and had to move back home with my mom. Not the best living situation as my stepdad and I do not agree. My aunt passed away recently and left me some money 20,000 and Im at a loss as to what to do with it. I cant currently hold down employment due to the pain and nausea so Im thinking of investing the money so that it can bring in an income how ever small.My original plan was to live at my moms while I recuperate and invest the money in a small business but even with that idea Im not sure what type of business to invest in. Can anyone please offer some advice as to what to do with the money? Maybe what would you have done if you were in my position either sick or healthy? Im terribly depressed by the whole situation especially as I cant rely on family. I need to stand on my own but with sickness and depression it feels like im in a well I cant seem to claw myself out of. Any advice would be most appreciated.  <response>: To be perfectly frank, we need to know your time horizon in order to give you accurate advice. You say that you cannot currently hold down a job. Will that change in the future, and if so, when? Are you going to die in ten years, or fifty? What kind of state benefits are you eligible to receive due to your unemployment and health problems?
