Live replay from a YouTube listener mail question.


After years of living paycheck to paycheck, a Making Cents listener has received a substantial inheritance.


But now she's frozen, worried about making the right choice, and torn between buying a first home for her family, or investing the money.


There's also a layer of emotional pressure to not waste the gift her beloved dad left her.


Frances Cook lays out the best money options for this situation, as well as inviting the Making Cents community to offer their own advice for this situation.
