I received a gift or inheritance, what should I do with it?

On today's episode of Great Points, Matt runs through a scenario where a younger person receives a gift or an inheritance. As with any chunk of money, there are a variety of options what you might do with it. What would a $19k gift be worth in 40 years if I invest it? What if I pay off student loan or other debt? What if I spend it? There may not be one right answer, but thinking through the different scenarios can help you make the right choice for you.
