What would you do with $50, 000?

Question

Hi! I’ve just received some amazing news that a relative of mine is giving myself and all my cousins 18+ $50, 000 as a ‘head start’ in life. 
I’m feeling very overwhelmed and grateful at the moment. My only question is...what do I do with it? Do I invest in stocks? Just put it away in a savings account I can’t touch? Enjoy it? (< to an extent...don’t blow it)
I’m 20 years old, studying psychology at university and working casually at a cafe. I live at home but I’m self sufficient in everything that I do. 
I want to maximise this opportunity and find a way to GROW this instead of diminishing it. It’s a large amount of money for someone my age, I have NO IDEA what to do with myself 😧
Also not really sure where to post this...sorry

id save it and invest part of it in real estate

Answer

I wouldn't invest yet until you learn more about like stock investments. 
I personally would make sure my bills are caught up and even paid ahead by a couple months. I would give my parents some if I were not paying rent for being greatcul to live under their roof while in school. I would put quiet a bit up in savings so when I move out, I would be able to secure housing easier than most.

Answer

Pay off debt

Answer

I would take 3-6 months of living expenses and put in an account you don’t touch unless it is a legit emergency. Pay off debt if you have any. Speak with a financial advisor. You are never too young to start investing and planning for the future. Depending on where you live, you could even look at using part as a down payment on a house. Be careful with that though because a lot of places are over priced right now. Last, you could take a very small amount like 500-1000 and splurge a little on something.
