I am 22 years old and graduated college this past year. My annual salary is $85 K (12% goes to 401K) and my rent is $1,300 per month (I live in Manhattan).
I have no debt, and $10,000 for an emergency fund set aside from previous jobs and internships.
I recently came into an inheritance of ~$50 K from family, and have no clue where to put this amount of money. I’m incredibly fortunate to be in such a position, but I’d like some advice as to how I can maximize my savings or invest with moderate risk in the long-term, as my salary covers my current living expenses.
Any help would be appreciated!
How is rent $1300 in Manhattan?!
Buy a house in another state as a rental. Have a property manager look after it. You I will build equity while the renter pays the mortgage. Look at idaho, houses are $250K. $50K should get you a mortgage. Rentals are about $1600 and the 30 year mortgage is around $1000.
There is a section in the FAQ about dealing with a windfall. Feel free to ask any questions you may have after reading it.
>$1,300 per month (I live in Manhattan).
Assuming you have roommates? Or you live in a place without a bathroom.
>and have no clue where to put this amount of money.
Read the windfall section of the PF wiki and follow the Prime Directive.
That’s crazy to me that you are making more than me out of college. I have been working my way up the ladder in engineering for 19 years and I only make 60k.
After I originally left a comment I appear to have clicked the -Notify me
when new comments are added- checkbox and now whenever
a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment.
There has to be a means you are able to remove me from that service?
Many thanks!
great points altogether, you just won a emblem new reader. What may you recommend in regards to your post that you made a few days ago? Any sure?
I have figured out some new issues from your site about pc’s. Another thing I’ve always presumed is that laptop computers have become something that each family must have for some reasons. They provide convenient ways in which to organize households, pay bills, go shopping, study, hear music and perhaps watch tv programs. An innovative way to complete many of these tasks is with a mobile computer. These computer systems are mobile, small, strong and mobile.
Good day I am so delighted I found your website, I really found you by error, while I was browsing on Yahoo for something else, Regardless I am here now and would just like to say many thanks for a incredible post and a all round interesting blog (I also love the theme/design), I don抰 have time to go through it all at the minute but I have book-marked it and also added in your RSS feeds, so when I have time I will be back to read much more, Please do keep up the awesome job.
I haven抰 checked in here for a while since I thought it was getting boring, but the last few posts are great quality so I guess I抣l add you back to my daily bloglist. You deserve it my friend 🙂
