My mum has just passed away, once everything is settled I will have around £100k. Now I know that this in a huge amount of money and I am very fortunate to have it. My dilemma is what to do with it. I am planning on spending about £20k on very essential home improvements such as double glazing etc. I don't know what to do with the remainder of the money. I am 45, live with my partner and have a small mortgage left but he is adamant that he wants me to leave that alone! I am extremely risk averse but equally have a dreadful credit rating due to stupidity in the past. I hate the idea of BTL and would like to avoid this altogether. What should I do with the money? Ideally, I would like to be able to retire in 15 years and have a nice standard of living. I don't want to have expensive holidays or flashy cars, just to be able to buy a nice bottle of wine at the weekend and go out for dinner occasionally. Any ideas? I am a complete novice and struggling to get my head around such a lot of money.
