Now, I don’t think that a death in the family is something to celebrate, but I found myself in that situation.  You see, my great aunt passed away one week ago, and it turns out that she left me a bit of money in the will.  We had always been very close, so I will miss her, but I also think that it is even more important to do something productive with the money that she left me.

On one hand, if I were to reduce debt for myself, it would be a blessing.  Not only would it ease my financial burden, but it should leave me with some extra money each month to either spend or reduce my debts further.

But the other option available to me would be to use the money to start property investing.  In fact, there would be enough money that I could own multiple properties at the beginning and benefit from the extra monthly income.

I guess I will just have to weigh the pros and cons, and make my decision from there.
