Kinda overwhelmed because I've never come across this much all at once. Definitely the very first thing I'm gonna do once I have access to it is knock out all my non-student loan debt in one fell swoop. Then use some to get the fuck up outta Texas and then throw the rest in a savings account for me to invest in a home.

Meanwhile, I still have decent income from my job to keep me afloat

You guys are getting an inheritance? Wild. All I get is a genetic legacy and I inherited that at conception.

I don't know. I mainly mean to say, inheritance is a bit of a macabre wealth transfer and it's weird to think about at times

Fair. I might not be a fan of Christianity but I can't deny I'm goth adjacent so memento mori is pretty much part of my aesthetic. But I guess some of that's also how I cope with all the people I've known who have died despite my age.

Don't pay off your debt if you can invest the inheritance and get a better return than whatever you're paying in interest.

If you have to pay off debt, pay off the highest interest stuff first like credit cards.

Technically not, since they were never officially married.

Yeah but then you pay for it in other areas and especially quality of life.

Texas is great if you're wealthy but not-so-great if you're someone who might need to lean on public infrastructure (which Texas is notoriously bad at). You also have to consider that wages are much lower here on average. I lucked out since I work remote for a company based in Portland, but a lot of jobs here pay peanuts.

Also, as the other poster mentioned, it's a regressive shithole and as someone who's gonna be 30 next year, I'm thinking long-term in terms of my mental and physical health as well as where I'd want to start and raise a family and ain't no way in Hell am I taking my future kids to a public school in Texas. The fact that marijuana probably won't be legalized anytime soon here also doesn't help.

That's definitely a key factor in me leaving, yeah.

Tbh, I'm not holding THAT much debt (outside of student loans) and my inheritance far exceeds it to the point where even after paying it off, I'd have a healthy chunk of money left to do whatever. Them federal employee benefits are no joke and my dad worked there for over 30 years.

If my old bastard had his way I wouldn't see a dime of his or my old lady's money. He'd rather give it to his family back home in India that he hasn't seen in almost 20 years but they pay him some lip service now and then on the phone. Fortunately he'll die first. Unfortunately my old lady comes from a family of ghouls that live past 80 easily and she's extremely healthy.

At least your got the right idea instead of wasting it on a new car or some find shit. I can relate with being 30 and starting to think where I want to raise my kids. Tough to find a fucking answer. I'm leaving California for Louisiana to find it out in the mean time since Bay area rent is insane.
