<p>[QUOTE=&quot;topcover, post: 348514, member: 12479&quot;]RULE #1 : DIVERSIFY. Don&#039;t ever stick all of your money into one basket. That&#039;s investment rule number one. While you decide bank it (see rule #4) into a CD or Money Market until you decide. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>RULE #2:&nbsp; not sure about how you came into this money, but you should make sure that there aren&#039;t any tax ramifications. If there are you should find how much and immediately set that money aside. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>RULE #3: have to agree with Brit... pay off a good portion of your debt. Any interest or &quot;profit&quot; you will gain through your investment will never amount to more than the interest you are PAYING. If you are heavily in debt, use this as an opportunity to start a budget and start with a clean slate. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>RULE #4: Set aside a SMALL PORTION of the $15K (lets say no more than $1,000) for you to use as you see fit. Just for you... coins, a trip, a nice dinner... just to satisfy your desire to blow more than that. The key here is to STICK to that amount![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
