What is your goal for this money - retirement, rainy day, kid's college, vacation fund, emergency fund, etc.? Where you put the money depends first on your goal for the money.

If it's for emergencies, then a high-interest money market or CDs. If it's for retirement, then a diversified mutual fund (see the discussion about Fidelity Freedom and Vanguard LifeCycle funds).

This is a great forum, so I'm sure you'll get some great ideas from the other posts, but you might give some more info so we can help you better.

Good luck,
