Open an account with Vanguard and invest in index funds.
 
Or buy low expense index ETFs in your brokerage account.
 
Keep in mind you should have a balance of equity and fixed income
investments. The ratio is decided by your risk tolerance.

Dude, you have no idea how crazy the past few years have been. All this money and it doesn't mean a thing. All I want to do is what I have been doing all along. But you wanna know how crazy it is in Southern California? I quadrupled my income in 3 years and it's STILL NOT ENOUGH TO LIVE ON. I could have all the money in the world and it wouldn't matter to me if I couldn't live in this neighborhood and do the things I like to do every day. And the cash flow is temporary and I still really have no idea what I am doing.
 
I love America!

Thanks for the info.
 
I do have some high risk tolerance. Basically in 3 years I turned about $1000 into $150,000 all high risk but I hit the peak of my capabilities and it's time to start protecting and managing what I have made.
