i'm not trying to be a finacial planner or anything, but you should invest in that money since your bro and you are still young. 200,000 is alot of money in cash, dont look at it and be like.. oh im going to buy a house or go buy toys (cars, etc)


on any rate, my good friend's parents own a resturant. both of his parents dont have a high school dipolma (from china) they worked very hard for years and saved up 100k, and combines another 100k with his uncle and his aunt, so they had 200k to open a resturant. now his parents are millionaries, they make 30k a month.
