<prompt> Human: details aside yes, this was legally I came into a large sum of money, a bit over 150K currently. Possibly more in the near future. Im in my early 20s, own a car fully Im looking to sell and replace as its really not practical for me gas guzzler, and I rent a condo Im signed into until March 2017. So no home buying quite yetI know nothing about finances. I plan on getting an advisor through my bank but I know they have their own interests in mind as well. Basically, where should I start with this money? Where and how to invest, ect. I know theres facts for this but Im curious with the amount I have and my age, ect. Also it is currently my form of income until employment and taxes on it have already been handled  <response>: Please read the information found in the wiki particularly I Have X ... What Do I Do With It?! You may find Your IRA and You: Basic Information and Your 401k and You: Basic Information worth a read as well.
