If I suddenly come into $100,000, what should I do with it?

Something that would make my money work for me- nothing frivolous like travel or new cars, jewelry, etc. I'm looking for the best way to grow financial stability from that 100k.

1. Pay off your credit cards and anything other bills you're paying interest on
2. Invest it in a decent stock and collect around 4%, or, if you can afford it, have the dividends re-invested.
