I can only say what I did, but when I came into money I put most of it into a house. I know I'm going to stay here for quite some time so I bought a nice house on a half acre and paid a good chunk of it off. Now my mortgage is lower than my former rent so I get to keep a larger chunk of my paycheck every month.

The stock market and investing always seemed like gambling to me, but I'll always need a roof over my head and the sooner I can secure that, the better.
