Where to invest a windfall now!

By Terry Savage on April 03, 2022 | Financial Planning / Retirement

Hi Terry,
My wife and I are retired teachers with a good pension. We are both 72 and can’t decide where to put $250,000?
Stocks, CD’s, Money Market? Would appreciate your expertise. Thank you.

Perhaps I should start with my traditional question: How much of this windfall are you willing to lose?
Surely, that gives you something to think about.

Now would you call a physician and ask for a diagnosis based on your age and the fact that you are running a fever?? Of course not! Similarly, I can’t possibly give you information specifically.

(But I’m glad you asked me instead of some salesperson who would have the “perfect” idea for you (and earn a big commission in the process). Instead, find a trusted FIDUCIARY FEE-ONLY Financial Planner at www.Wealthramp.com, someone who can give you advice in context of an entire plan, including your other investments. Don’t blow this windfall!
