Don't Put All Your Eggs in One Basket

(don't risk losing everything at once)

Congratulations, Jill. I hear that you came into quite an inheritance.

Yes, I did. My grandmother left me the bulk of her estate when she passed away. Now I'll have to start thinking of ways to invest it if I want to see it grow.

True. And remember: don't put all your eggs in one basket.

Never fear. I won't risk losing my money by investing all of it in a single place. I plan to spread out my inheritance in real estate, government bonds, and other low-risk investments.

Now you're talking! If you're interested, I have the name of a good financial counselor. I'm certain that she could help you.

Thanks. As soon as I'm ready, I'll look her up.
