Grandpa died, left Reddit poster with 7,000 shares of Apple stock

Follow the headline link for the MarketWatch version of this story. What’s interesting is the financial side of inheriting 7,000 shares of Apple stock. It’s now worth north of $3 million.

What would you do with that money? Sell it, pay the taxes, buy a house? A car? Pay off the installment loans online that you got a year ago and have been fighting the interest payments of? Give it to charity? Start a foundation? Or just let it ride?

If you are feeling brave, here’s a link to the original Reddit post. It’s not for the faint of heart (be warned, it’s offensive), and will likely trigger all kinds of things, including your BS meter. But if that’s your thing, dive in, read the comments. All very interesting.
