Hi biz, first time on this board.

Just found out I'm inheriting £5k from my grandma. What do I do with it?

The most money I've ever owned at once is £400 so I have no idea what I'm gonna do with this

DONT INVEST IT IN CRYPTO
Only invest what you can afford (and are willing) to lose. If you really want to invest it in something, do this:

$1000 in crypto (mostly bitcoin)
$3000 in vanguard
$1000 in a savings account

Don't touch what's in vanguard for 2-3 years. Don't touch what's in crypto for 6 months
Don't touch what's in savings account except for emergencies.

Crypto = bitcoin. Wait for a good dip in the market and buy some of it via coinbase.

Vanguard - mutual fund, basically. Solid returns year after year. Google that shit and send them your dollarydoos before you blow it on gay shit.

OP i'm guessing you are UK based, therefore open up a stocks and shares ISA at Hargreaves Lansdown.

Once done put your money into an ETF fund such as HSBC FTSE 250 Index, Legal & General International Index or anything on the wealth 150 list. Leave it for 5-10 years

Alright OP, a little spoonfeeding
/biz/ is currently gung-ho about cryptocurrency, a new form of digital money secured algorithmically, because the total amount of money in the space has increased by 5 this year. Some /biz/raelis have made 10x, 100x, even 1000x returns on their money, and there's a resulting collective madness. Cryptocurrency is highly speculative. Many think this is the future of money, just as many think this is horseshit. There's heaps to learn about the stuff, you have to use google if you want to get anywhere. Would not suggest to put too much of your money in it, if you end up liking the idea throw £100 in bitcoin and ethereum but no more until you get more comfortable with how it works.

Otherwise, you've got investing in the stock market. You don't want to try trading, and you don't want even an expert trader to manage your money; the market outperforms most humans in the long run. Look up "index funds" instruments in your country, ideally with fees under 1%, and try to find something tax deductible as well. You can expect annual returns of 4 to 7% per year, so this is more of a long run thing, and relies on the belief your country won't face a collapse for the next 10, 20, 30 years. But it is the safest investment around by today's standards.

Yet another option is also to stick everything in an accessibe savings account keeping up with inflation. 5k will not turn to riches regardless of your investment vehicle, but it's good "oh shit" money for any curveball life throws at you.

Good luck.
