|---|---|---|---|
| Emergency fund | 10% | $10,000 | 6 months expenses |
| Index funds | 50% | $50,000 | Long-term growth |
| Real estate/bonds | 20% | $20,000 | Stability |
| Crypto bots | 15% | $15,000 | Growth + income |

FAQ
Should I invest my entire inheritance in crypto?No — allocate 10-20% to crypto bots, keep 80-90% in diversified assets (index funds, real estate, bonds). Never put all your eggs in one basket.
How long should I wait after inheriting money?3-6 months minimum. Grieve first, make financial decisions second. Emotional trading is losing trading.
What if I lose the inheritance?Only invest what you can afford to lose. If losing $15K would devastate you, don't invest $15K. Start with $5K and scale with proven results.
Is this honoring the person who left me money?Yes — if you approach it responsibly. They worked hard for that money. Honor them by growing it wisely, not gambling it away.
