<prompt> Human: Hello all,So two years ago I was attacked by a random crazy person who stabbed the hell out of me Ill do an AMA if people want! and just settled last week for 100,000. 13 is going to my lawyer who took the case on contingency. Cool. 15K in medical bills. No what to do with the remaining 50k. I need to talk with an accountant and my lawyer more, obviously, to figure out how much is taxable. About me:Im a recent PhD grad making good money. I have about 8k in student loans left. 8k in credit card bills. No car payment and about 75k left on my house. Plenty of income to live comfortably but nothing exorbitant on and Im putting the max into a matched 401k.So what is the best thing to do with the money? Obviously pay the credit cards off first. Then...? I dunno where it would be best spentsaved. Any help would be appreciated.Thanks!  <response>: People are asking for pictures here are a few. Also how did I get paid? The stabber thought, wrongly, that he was defending his house. He saw me. Went inside to get a kitchen knife, came back out and attacked me. Lawyers determined he was negligently defending his home making his insurance liable. I got the check the other day. Lump sum. Paid the lawyer. I was able to knock him down, get on top of him and take the knife away. Held him till the cops arrived and took him to jail where he got one year really! and 8 years probation. I honestly feel bad for the guy hes young and mentally unstable. Thanks for all the advice!
