Don't be flashy with the money and don't tell anyone about it, not family, not friends. It's no one's business but yours. A lot of financial skills boil down to discipline. It may sound simple, but it's not easy. People tend to think it's about just about being careful how you spend, but it also extends to your personal relationships. Be careful who you get close to in life and get legally bound to. The fastest way I've seen people hemorrhage money is through a relationship with someone unscrupulous or financially illiterate. Or with some kind of addiction issues.
I'm happy with my Roth IRA through Vanguard and target date funds.
