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.

Don't do it through your bank but invest in a good stock portfolio and grow your money. But don't invest all of it. Start off by investing 25%. Keep another 25% for taxes. Then split the rest as 15% for emergency, 20% for a potential down payment on a home, and the other 15% for yourself.
