From what is the settlement? If it is from insurance or a lawsuit, it might be tax free. If it is, I would use some of it to start a Roth IRA. You can do a bank account or CD, but what a chance to get that started.
My thing with "found" money is to get one fun thing, pay off outstanding bill (a gift that keepson giving) and set the rest aside.
It is just too easy to fritter it away. And too much fun.

I agree @Icertuche on the small livestock. That's why we have sheep and chickens. Sheep can survive on purely being grass fed. We are working on getting good pasture now, in our climate, we have rye grass that grows in the winter, Bermuda and Bahia in the summer.

I'll be picking up some rye grass seed soon enough...

It's still too hot to toss it out here - headed for 96 degrees today. Did nobody tell mother nature that it is supposed to be fall???
