Selling my farm in Texas...so I have a small chunk of change to put somewhere.
I have been pleased with my primary investment advisor...but the thought occurs to me that it might be well to not have everything in one place. I am most interested in security. Being a retiree will do that.
Your thoughts on where to put a little money....no, not someone’s beer fund.
Thanks in advance.

More land. Not very liquid, but it doesn't get any more secure than that.

Not a bad thought. I will say that I am tired of paying property taxes.
I have thought of building a dream dock...but I am already close to the Max value for this neighborhood. I don’t think it would add much to overall value of my house.

Check into TIAA/CREF. I don't think you will be sorry.

Do you need immediate, recurrent income from the income from the investment? If so, a dividend portfolio may make sense, if you are confident picking stocks. Or a fixed income annuity if afraid of market risk.

I don’t need additional income at the moment.
Health issues could change that, but for now, I am OK.

I'd park it in a savings account or 12 month cd. You can get 1.5 maybe 2 percent and wait. Market is real high and with election year coming I'd ease in slowly.

It is only a bit more than $150K. Can’t afford rentals on that...

It is only a bit more than $150K. Can’t afford rentals on that... Is it just the area? Most rentals around here are well under that. It's a fantastic investment. I have a buddy who just bought a $130k rental a couple years ago and made $30k on it and he's selling it now for a profit. Our first rental cost $79,500
