Ask HN: How to Invest $700k USD?
24 by investthrow | 30 comments on Hacker News.
I recently came into ~$700k, and I'm trying to figure out what to do with it. My risk profile is medium (family, middle age), so this isn't play money, but I am confident in my employability. My initial instinct was to follow the default "Put it in the SP500 through a no fee fund" but curious if that advice is still valid or if there are other ideas HN might have. Using a throwaway account, I've been on HN for a loooong time.
