14. Make Investing A Priority
While most people want to pay off their debt (go for it) and go on a shopping spree, buy a new car, or a bigger house (don’t), one of the first steps you should take is learning how to handle a large sum of money. To do this, you will need to talk to a financial advisor who can help you invest in your money through savings bonds, high-interest savings accounts, trusts, or other means.
When you invest the money, you can’t spend it foolishly, will think about pulling it out to spend it, and are more likely to let it build, which will make you more prosperous as the interest grows. While your money is growing instead of shrinking, you can continue to work with your financial investor to work on a plan to keep money coming in.
