[quote=Anonymous]Yes, just go with a Vanguard Index Fund, or that Wellington, or one of their target date funds. Read Bogleheads if it'll make you feel better, but basically the theory is that index funds can match or even outperform the market, especially over time, and mean that you don't have to feel like you need to be a trader. After all, they are the sort of funds that a lot of people have in their 401ks. I'm about to come into some money (inheritance), a similar amount to yours, and almost all of it will be going right into index funds, except for a small amount to pay off our Home Equity LOC, which has a higher, variable interest rate. No way we're going to pay off our sub-4% mortgage early. [/quote]
