You asked where to “invest” $250,000. In my opinion, much of the advice given here is more gambling than investing. Most “investors” never perform better than the US market index over time. If you want to invest this money, VTI is your sleep at night choice. It is a very low fee Vanguard etf that tracks the total US stock market.

With the Fed signaling it will increase interest rates, now is not the time to buy bond funds unless you want to “fight the Fed”. Almost all bond funds WILL decrease in value if interest rates rise.
