What would you do with a large inheritance sum?

My man has recently inherited £1.4 million (after inheritance tax) after both his grandparents passed away within 5 months of each other. Curious as to what you would do with the money. So, what would you do with it?

He was pretty financially secure before the inheritance, but to keep a consistent income coming in he's looking into buying a couple of small cottages just out the back of us for around £180k and £150k and renting them out. Just curious as to what others would do, maybe get some ideas.

Take care of your own security and try to guarantee your own income so it sounds like that’s going well.

Share some around is a good way of lifting your mood

Property sounds like a good idea.

I'm wondering if you'd do something different with it if it was a lottery win. Interesting OP.

I'm not sure what i'd do with ot to be honest. I've never had much money and am still in college. Since i met my man i let him guide my finances to where they should be. He's alot older than me so has a wiser head on his shoulders. So i just let him sort it all.

He's a 6.3" Army man so i doubt they will mess him around too much. And the 2 cottages are literally 1 minute away, can see them from our upstairs windows.

I would divide half the money and share it between my children. I would then buy a business, perhaps a launderette.

Then I would buy a big camper van and go around the country visiting my other family members.

So much depends on individual circumstances. What would be right for any of us wouldn't necessarily be right for him. Perhaps the best advice would be an appointment with an experienced financial advisor? ... and, in real life, to keep schtum about his inheritance. Lots of people can be very funny about money.

I agree with this.

The last thing I would do is broadcast it on Social Media.

This can be read by Anyone.

It also comes across as rather crass, especially given the sad circumstances that the money came from

Maybe put some into a credit union so they can lend it out to people who can't get loans. Bit of pay forward.

Help the homeless would be a good idea. Problem is most of them are too busy begging up to get money to pay for their drug addictions. And before you try shooting me down I have actually been homeless before and know exactly what goes on. Some of them actually beg up in excess of £300 per day to feed their addiction. Some of them also actually have homes to go. Food banks and soup kitchens actually get given funds from the local council to provide food. Personally the only charities I ever donate to are connected to children with disabilities

Typical response, even though you were homeless, I'm sorry for that, but the problem goes a lot deeper, women denied of their pensions at 60, are now some of the people on the street, ex army guys, yet we spend millions on poppies, something is very wrong, I could also tell you my story of been faced with homelessness, but I won't bore you.

After my father died i inherited his farm. I had no interest in farming so sold it. I then just put the money in a savings account. I gave the two tied cottages away to the tenants before the sale. They had both worked hard for my father for many years so it felt right. I also gave them a very good redundancy payment. I gave some too my children and put some in trust for my grandchildren.

The rest is mine. Not enough to retire just yet but when i do i will have a nice old age.

Costa Blanca Spain...

With that amount by all means treat yourselves, holiday, new car, holiday home, or whatever floats your boat.

As for the rest do not do any one thing. You must diversify your investments.

Buy to let is a good idea although you really need a good agent who will vet your tenants properly. As said by someone above there are lots of horror stories out there but (done properly) it can be quite lucrative.

The stock market can be good as well but, again, you need to tread carefully. Stick to "blue chip" shares that pay good dividends. The share price itself is always a roller coaster ride but 4 or 5% yield is out there and compared to almost non existent bank interest rated is pretty good.

At the moment I would give the bond market a wide berth, but that's not to say I wouldn't look at it again in the future.

And above all, good luck.

"After my father died i inherited his farm. I had no interest in farming so sold it. I then just put the money in a savings account. I gave the two tied cottages away to the tenants before the sale. They had both worked hard for my father for many years so it felt right. I also gave them a very good redundancy payment. I gave some too my children and put some in trust for my grandchildren.

The rest is mine. Not enough to retire just yet but when i do i will have a nice old age."

That's so cool.

I’d use it for evil, decadence and something really politically incorrect.

I’d run for office. (Can I with a juvenile and adult criminal record as long as it’s spent convictions?)

Well first I'd spend on things I want ....teeth whitening/veneers, trip to New York,new carpet, take Mam on Orient Express, upgrade my car and general shopping spree. I would also give some to my brother and his family and to Macmillan cancer as they were good to me when I had cancer xx

Not 1 single person has tried to befriend us over this. And as i have mentioned my man is a 6.3" soldier so nobody is going to mess him around in a hurry. He was wealthy before the inheritance and nobody tried to use or bother him. And nobody can see our faces and our location is false. Think first.

I think you are incredibly naive to post that sort of windfall so publicly. As is your belief that your partner's build will somehow save you from scammers and con merchants. It won't.

Oh and the fact he's an ex-squaddie built like a brick shit house won't help you with nightmare tenants and if he thinks it will he'll be in for a shock when he gets nicked.

There's a saying about fools and their money.

Again, you are assuming he is as thick as a brick. He isn't. He was wealthy before the inheritance and never had a problem. You won't be able to scam him in a hurry he was raised on the streets and knows all the tricks and then some. So stop assuming he is totally stupid. That in itself is stupid.

I haven't assumed anything. The fact that you repeatedly refer to his past and build as a re-assurrance that he won't get ripped off is telling and creates a certain impression though.

Really baffled by the amount of people offering negative opinions. Being able to handle money is one of the few things we dont get taught and having multiple suggestions from people whilst can be confusing, can also give you an idea of what to look at. We have such a negative view in this country about "how much do you earn" and people end up getting paid vastly different amounts because of the unwillingness to open up. I dont know if it's jealously but saying you have wealth but want advice isn't throwing it in the face of someone else who is less well off.

Personally id say spread out your money. Different stocks and shares isas and childrens are 20 and 10k each per annum.

Ive always wanted to get a house. See if i could rehabilitate some homeless. From documentaries ive seen it doesnt take long for people who want to work as they need a place of residence. But thats me. Property for renting. Id also continue working but you could use that money to go into some work your passionate about if you want a business. The extra free time equates to spending even more money usually.

Sorry for his loss and good luck finding some solutions.

Yes, you have. You claim naive, He will be in for a shock when he get's nightmare tennants and he will get locked up and more. lol The reason i have told you about his past is an attempt to show you that he isn't as stupid as you seem to think he is. But it doesn't seem to sink in. Let's try simplify it.

1.We live in a small village that has no crime rate. My man has lived here his entire 38yrs and said apart from the odd kid breaking into someones shed once in a blue moon we don't get trouble here. Everyone knows everyone and it is a very peaceful, respectful place with a sense of community. That's great if you are thinking about renting places here. 2. The fact he's 6.3" Army also works for him as people respect and fear him. Like i said, we live in a small village where everyone knows everyone and he and his best friends who are also army go down the local pub. Nobody ever bothers them, they buy them beers out of respect. 3.He is intelligent and is very wise. He's hardly going to respond to an email from Major Tundy in Ghana offering to look after all his finances. lol And again, not 1 single person has tried to befriend us on Fab over this. So you were wrong about that too. And even if they did we are intelligent enough to read between the lines.

He was pretty financially secure before the inheritance, but to keep a consistent income coming in he's looking into buying a couple of small cottages just out the back of us for around £180k and £150k and renting them out. Just curious as to what others would do, maybe get some ideas. "
