What to do with all that money?

I will soon receive an inheritance of about $100,000-$150,000 (numbers are vague right now). I'm looking for tips and advice for managing that money. I have talked with a financial advisor from one of the major firms about this and they would be happy to help me with my money at the rate of 4.5% per year. Frankly, I view that as extortionary. I even remember once hearing advice that said to not pay more than 1% in fees. This sounds reasonable to me. My current IRAs and other means of saving that do charge, charge less than 1%. I doubt it's 1/5th of a percent. I'm pretty sharp and generally good with money. I think that with the right research, and proper dedication, I can manage this money myself and save scads of fees. Ideas so far: 1. I have a small amount of debt that I want to pay off immediately. Less than 10K. 2. I have a 13-year-old daughter for whom I want to sock aside somewhere between 20-30K for college. This is very important to me. 3. My mortgage is split 80/15 (the 15 being about $23K). I am toying with the idea of paying off the 15%. The interest on that portion is 8.25%. For what it's worth, I am a late-thirties male with decent (not great) income and a proven ability to live frugally when I set my mind to it. I have no car payment. Only regular payments are child support, house, utilities, subscriptions etc. Currently, I am paying towards that small amount of debt on a monthly basis. I need help on figuring out how to manage the rest of the money and my future money since I will ideally be out of debt aside from the mortgage. So, pointers, advice, tips, reading material, ideas, what have you? email can be sent to AnonyMeFimomoney (at) sbcglobal.net
