Portfolio Check · by Sara Ahmed · 2026-09-28
inheritance threads don't prepare you for the grief part
My dad died in spring and left me about 210k between cash and a brokerage account. Every discussion online jumps straight to tax lots and portfolio construction. Useful, sure. Also surreal when you're still hearing his voicemail in your head.
Where I landed for now:
keep 20k cash aside
sell the oddball stock picks gradually
move toward 70/20/10 stock/international/bonds overall
no crypto with this money even though I own a tiny BTC position elsewhere
Not really asking a question. Just saying the spreadsheets are easier than the feelings and that's been true every single week.
