Using $5,000 from a $100,000 windfall to test a solo business
After receiving an inheritance and paying off high-interest debt, about $100,000 will likely remain. There is no plan to buy a new car, a house, or other big lifestyle items.
Day-to-day spending will stay low, and two full-time jobs can cover household bills. An ency fund will be kept in a HYSA, and buying a home is not a near-term goal.
Instead of putting the full a into a , about $5,000 may be used to start a solo venture. An online is the preferred path, but a service is also being considered.
