So, my mother passed a way when I was 14. She was supposed to inherit my grandmothers estate, and according to my knowledge, we did. My siblings and I all got $27,000 when we turned 18 and I blew threw it in 3 months like a jackass. Come to find out now, there was land and mineral rights that they were waiting to sell (my scumbag uncle was in charge of the estate, who knows what else I should be getting). Anyways, I just got a call from our lawyer earlier this week and I'll be getting a check cut for over half a million. What should I invest in? I'm in school right now. I finally got back in after dropping out halfway of freshmen year during spring break to party like an animal for 3 months. I want to be smart misc. What should I do?

From your past I can see you will fuk this up big time.
Good luck though."Don't give up, don't ever give up. Cancer can take away all of my physical abilities. It cannot touch my mind, it cannot touch my heart and it cannot touch my soul; and those three things are going to carry on forever." - Jimmy V (RIP 1946-1993)

Ummm, srsly? Seek a financial advisor and/or CPA for high net worth individuals. GTFO the misc for this kind of advice.
Also, you can just live off the investment interest for the rest of your life, don't blow it:

Find a trustworthy lawyer who works in the area of trusts and decedent's estates. He can review the estate / trust docs and advise you as to whether your uncle is doing it right or ripping you off. It will cost a few thousand, but no big deal given the value of your inheritance.
Next, find a good financial advisor who won't push a bunch of high fee managed funds. Invest a portion in stocks, and a portion in more secure fixed income investments such as bonds. A financial advisor / portfolio manager will know how to handle it. When they tell you about this "awesome" managed fund, ask about performance net of fees. Then you'll get a real picture of your likely returns.
Cliffs: Get a good lawyer, get a good financial adviser, invest the money, and then forget it. Also, buy a modest house when you're ready.Alpha Beard Crew | S&P | Misc Lawyer Crew | Fishing Crew

I really hope not, but it is tempting to say fuk it, drop our, and go buy some blow and party it up. (Always wanted to go to Vegas)
Lol, I don't trust those snakes TBH.
Meh
I really don't trust those people bro. I want to live off this, but what do I invest in???? I also get very tempted to ball tf out and have several thousand cash on me at all times to I can buy things for others and ball out whenever I want. Guess I just need to learn some self control?
what?

Lmfao ive done ninjitsu for over a decade, everyday. Ive ripped throats out of my family, ive been involved in fbi, ive punched criminals both on and off duty. What have you done *******? Absolutely nothing and you would curl up n cry in a little ball if you spent more than 2 mins where i have lethally striked.
also
Lol'd. People think that being 5'9 is a disadvantage, but it has its advantages as well. I also have a long reach, and like I said, I'm CONFIDENT in my fighting (killing) skill. It takes but one second to rip someones throat out, or break the carotid artery in the neck. I don't even have to break skin. Have you even been ear-clapped? That's a very easy way to win a fight. Lmao, I've taken out multiple 6'+ people in a matter of less than a minute. Not saying they were necessarily that skilled, and I am so that helped, but I lol every time at people who put such a big emphasis on height, especially when 5'9 is American average and 2" above world average. Makes you wonder what else they value so much in real life.
anyways
Fights are unpredictable, and most of the times not fair. (weapons) Yes, in an enclosed space, size is a definite advantage. I'm certainly defeatable, but also very confident that I will be able to put up a good fight, and that's very crucial if you expect to win, and want to win, every fight you have. Fighting is stupid, and I've only ever done it for self defense. Being smaller has the advantage of being quick, and avoiding being picked up. The advantage of being able to jump onto a giants back. THe advantage of being able to strike faster. Yes, being big has lots of advantages as well. What matters is circumstance, skill, and being able to work with what you have.Last edited by butwhowasgains; 06-22-2017 at 07:03 AM.

A couple things I didn't see.
Set money aside as an emergency fund. Even with money, you need quick liquid cash for emergencies.
Pay off all debts. I would say that includes marking funds to finish education etc.
And as was said, invest it. Get with a quality planner and work with them to set yourself up so it makes good money for you.
EDIT: Get a will and living will. If something happens, you want a clear directive regarding what should be done with those funds.Beginner routines commonly suggested:

Nah, no handouts man. Sorry.
Lmao, are you that insecure brah?
Are you trust-able, and actually a financial adviser?
That's the plan man. I think I'll just stay in school. Are bonds worth it?
Good idea. My other uncle (not the scumbag one) seems to do well with his money. I should talk to him about this.
Okay, I'll cave. Will they help me make money though?
I was thinking a condo, but house might be good to go as well. I want to move tf out of ND, but cost of living is so cheap here. IDK where yet man. Maybe Colorado, but Florida was amazing too. Then I'd be able to re-collab with Genova on the reg.
lmao'd
lol wut?

Take heed OP
Don't know how old you are, but you're still in your heavy party phase from the sound of it. I'd consider talking to both the lawyer and financial advisor and having money put in a way that you won't touch any of it for a long time. Maybe in a few years time you can touch a sliver of it once you're more responsible.
You've been given a great opportunity... let that money go to work for you behind the scenes, and you can finish up a degree in something worthwhile that will make you pretty decent money on its own right. When you're ready years down the line, you'll be comfortable.
EDIT* Don't talk to your uncle about it - go to an independent person outside of your family, a lawyer and financial advisor that IS NOT FRIENDS AND IS NOT RELATED TO YOUR SITUATION.
The last thing you need is your uncle to bull**** you and get you to invest somewhere stupid, or say "trust me with X amount" - your money = your money... find a 3rd party to help manage your funds.
