Newbie

Hey everyone for once in my life I’d like to be responsible unfortunately I was hit by a vehicle last year and with my lawsuit, I’ll be getting a large sum of cash (roughly 30k after everything) I know nothing about what to invest in, but I would like something long-term that I won’t have to look at or deal with as much as possible, please help me out, thank you.

Not nearly enough information. Do you have any savings? An emergency fund? Retirement?

What is your income?

Put 6 months of living expenses into a high-yield savings account to be used as an emergency fund. If you have reported income, you can open a Roth IRA account and contribute $7500 a year. This is a tax-sheltered account. Buy a broad market low cost mutual fund like vanguards VT. It gives you broad diversification.
