From Upset to Upswing: 5 Steps to Take After a Financial Windfall
Everyone loves it when an underdog comes out of nowhere. Well, just like that team achieving the unexpected, an inheritance or other financial windfall can feel like a dream come true. But don’t rush the court or buy that fancy vacation home just yet.
Before the clock strikes midnight, Cinderella, here are five steps to take to help turn your financial windfall into a happily ever after:
|
Breathe and Assess.
It's natural to be excited, but take some time to let the news sink in. Don't make any rash decisions in the moment. Consider the size of the inheritance and how it fits into your overall financial picture.

Consider Your Debt.
High-interest debt can be a major drain on your finances. Use some of this inheritance to pay down any personal or business debt. This will free up money you can use towards other goals.

Invest in Your Future.
The truth is, even happily ever after requires planning. Every underdog defeated Goliath with a strategy. Let’s sit down and develop a new plan based on your risk tolerance and long-term goals.

Build a Legacy.
Coaches say all the time, “Next year starts tomorrow.” After an inheritance or a financial windfall, it is a good time to reassess your estate plan, will, and any existing trusts you have. This will minimize confusion and conflict for your heirs so your legacy can live on.
