  • Without knowing more about your situation, the standard advice would be something like:

    1. Pay off any debts, credit cards, etc that you have.
    2. Top off your emergency savings. This should be somewhere between 3-6 months of expenses.
    3. Put the rest if any into retirement, probably an IRA.

    Two points though:

    1. Take some and have fun with it, maybe $2k-4k. Get some nice clothes, laptop, take your SO to a very fancy restaurant.
    2. $15k as pocket money for a 19yo?!? That’s a generous brother in law.
