my grandfather died a month ago and he left me a large amount of money in cash with a note written by him that said to think of him when i use it but i'm having trouble thinking of what to spend it on and it's kinda stressing me out a little any ideas?

How old are you? You don’t have to spend it immediately you can take your time to think.

I AGREE^ then buy a house when you’re older. I’m sure he’d want you to have some safety

You’re very young, take some time to think. Definitely look into ways that’ll help that money grow instead of just spending it. Think if a house would be a good idea for you given your desires in life or not, think of investing, what amount are we talking about a couple thousands? Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands? Also think of having a savings as well and you *can* use some to just spend but don’t make it too much of the total amount.
