<prompt> Human: Hello all,My mother just received an inheritance 300k and is 66 years old. I already help with her finances and follow a lot of the rules laid down here in personal finance with the money she had invested prior to this inheritance.The question I have is, what would you do if you were in her situation right now? If the market wasnt at all time highs I would probably put her newly inherited money into a glide path style retirement fund but right now bonds are high and equities are high. The US dollar is also high right now. Im at a loss. My inclination is to leave the money in savings and wait for a correction in the bond andor stock market, then invest. Thanks for any and all advice.  <response>: The market reaches all time highs regularly. Thats the nature of the thing and its why we invest. If she may need this money for her own retirement, then it might be best to invest very conservatively. If she doesnt need the money, then you could invest with more risk.
