Alright I'm gonna give you real advice. You can either take it or buy meme stock options and lose all the money you just got.

Pay off the 50k car loan.

Open a Vanguard or Fidelity account and put the remaining 90k in it. The settlement funds are paying 4% even if you don't invest it.

Buy like 60k worth of boring index ETFs. Like 40k of VTI and 20k of VXUS, or 60k of VOO, whatever.

YOLO 15k of it using the shit advice you get here so you can learn how easy it is to lose money.

Keep the other 15k in the settlement fund as cash. Unless you already have some cash in savings, then fine yolo that too.

>yolo so you can learn

I’ve already lost 5k in the past. I’ve also gained 10k. I feel I know what’s too risky and what’s stupid at this point. when I say risk I mean calculated risk, not 0dte options
