<prompt> Human: Its been about 3 months since my father passed away, it was unexpected. My parents had divorced about 4 years prior to this so all the inheritance went to my sister and I. I am currently in college, which my father had already set aside a sum of money enough to cover all my tuition and fees.My uncles and aunts have been helping as well as my mother, but I want to hear an unbiased opinion on what you think is a good course of action to take from here.My father left my sister and I quite a sum of money.-the life insurance policy paid 220k-We are selling my fathers house for 200k-My fathers belongings and savings amount to 150k-He had a Fidelity 401k of 250k-He also had a Vanguard IRA and savings of 850k all of these will be split evenly between my sister and II know many people might think its absurd to ask for advice when my sister and I inherited this sum of money, but that is exactly why I need advice. Ive never had more than 10k in my savings account and all the sudden I am overwhelmed with what to do with the mass of money. Any questions are welcome.I really miss my dad :Assistant: Im sorry about your father. You should talk to a fee-only financial advisor. This is the kind of situation where you need professional help, not advice from random strangers on the internet. You could be well on your way to early retirementfinancial independence. Congrats on being mature enough to know to not blow it all on random crap.Human: Im sorry about your father. You should talk to a fee-only financial advisor.My recommendation would be to find out who has been managing his finances and keep whoever it is. Theyve apparently been doing a good job.Assistant: My father invested most of it himself. In the past couple years he urged me to read up on investing and had me start my own vanguard account. Unfortunately I never had the desire to learn about investing, but now that my father is gone I wish he could have taught me more.  <response>: Well he set you on the right track. Putting the money with Vanguard is standard advice around here. They have advisors who can help you out.
