      In that case, you might want to look into a diversified portfolio. Stocks for growth, bonds for stability, and maybe even some real estate. It might also be worthwhile to consult with a financial advisor. They can help tailor a strategy that aligns with your goals.

    A.friend of mine got an inheritance from her mom. We were coaching her on this. I told her flat out....you don't need to talk about the amount. It is no one's business. You don't need to advertise new money....especially when you are grieving. If people are so rude to ask, give them a flip answer if need be.
    The other thing I told her was to handle creditors before the money is in your account. They can garnish account and take it. Do the damage control before the large number hits the account. Pre set up an agreement of repayment plan that they cannot go back on because they see the cash available. Get the agreement in writing. Unfortunatley,.if the creditor is the government (taxes) it might not matter. They have their own rule book on that.
    It is OK to do nothing to.grieve and cool off. DO.SERIOUS homework when you are looking for financial help so they don't help themselves to your cash.

    Best advice, if the inheriatnce is in cash, you could think about foreign exchange but you gotta be well informed about where you want to put your money... Made my first million through it earlier this year from a 400k inheriatnce from my grandpa who died from covid (through the help of a pro though). Now I can afford to be much more relaxed and not panic as the inflation hits.

    Thank you for this video Kelly. I think your Grandma would be so proud of you - both for the restraint you and Jayme had on your honeymoon and for sharing what you have learned through receiving your own inheritance from her.
    One piece of advice that I noticed didn't come up (or if it did, I didn't notice) - if the inheritance comes from someone you were extremely close to, don't make big decisions immediately. Emotional spending can cause big problems with overspending.

    I'm set to received my mums inheritance money when I turn 18 some people say spend a couple thousand to realise how quickly it can he blown to stop me wasting it and then be careful with the rest. I want to buy a house and rent it out until I'm ready to move into it, is this a good idea?

    • @freedominabudget
      @freedominabudget  5 років тому +4

      I'm so sorry that you lost your mum! I'll be praying for you! As for buying a house, that CAN be a really great investment but I will say that you need to be very careful about the additional costs of owning a home. I'm actually coming out with a video on this in the next couple of weeks so stay tuned. So many people see the home price as $100,000 and they have $100,000 cash so they think they should put all their money into it but don't think of the added costs of being a homeowner. Depending on where you live and the value of the home you need to pay for house taxes, insurance, repairs etc. If there are renters you will need to pay for their repairs because things will break, or if it needs a new roof or air conditioner for example. At 18 I would put the money into a high yield savings account like Capital One and sit on it for a few years until you are 100% sure what you want to do with it. It will grow interest and make you money while you make all the decisions. I have a close friend that spent her entire inheritance on a paid in cash house but is now close to losing it because she didn't save enough to pay taxes.

    While on disability I didn't feel obligated to tithes since I was in a barren season. But fully intend o tithing FRUITS like inheritances and rewards even though I didn't work for them, they were GIVEN FRUITS to me to steward and so for me: that falls under the category of FRUIT. God is just. He doesn't ask the poor to give 10% of their surviving income to Him. I have in other ways that I had abundant 'fruit's in like my time and service. It all contributes to my passion to see God's joy cover the earth.

      I'm so sorry to hear that! First thing I would do is to talk to a tax adviser and see if you will owe any taxes on it. I had to pay a large amount of taxes on my inheritance, it all depends on how the trust was set up. Then I would think about what organizations you are passionate about!

      Thank you. As i said, it was only a few months ago that i received my inheritance. (90,000, if I'm allowed to say) This amount makes up my entire house, since i asked my father.
      I had made my younger sister the trustee, managing my affairs, etc. A tax adviser, it'd have to be someone i know.
      I've also been thinking about, and want to, talk with my cousin Andrew, asking him to be one of my financial advisors, so i can make the best financial decisions for myself and others. As for organizations, there are two right now in mind where sports and healthcare are involved - healthcare - shriners hospital for children in Tampa Florida, and an NBA organization called the Miami Heat. I also mentioned wanting to do things for myself as well - the trust that makes up my house, I also want to expand my man cave. My current bedroom was also supposed to be my mancave as well, bu it was too small, and therefore, i had to use the room next to it, but i want to have someone break down the wall, to make the two rooms, one big, single room
      Let me know, please, what you think.

    My parents had indemnity bonds. These were to guard against loss. So i am being made a 3rd party on whatever the bank is asking me to sign. I do not sign things i know nada about. I was totally not informed nor asked about any of this, while all my sisters were chatting back and forth over this. It has been 3 years asking what they did and what's going on and where. None care to speak to me, and the money is not the situation, it's the complete feeling of left out as no one. Therefore a said some things about keep ur money if this is what kind of people you have become. I do not like feeling this way. I like a loving family. My oldest sister has been a type of culprit..but then that is a long story of being a different type as she begged me to her state to start a family busness..20years later...and no sister there. I became pretty isolated with no sitter to a tiny only child. It was due to family accepting them through my daughter and i, was all. Then i became the target to a lot of things, instead. It was very depressing as i had a lot going on where i was, with my little only daughter. She also, was told i was at fault isolating us here. Ohhh boy, i was just polite, while just tending to my daughter, while things turned opposite than the simple agreement i came to do for her.
