Investing Q&A

Q: I'm 63, single, and expect to work another 3-5 years. I own a condo and pay $430/month on my mortgage. I've got one credit card with a balance of about $1,000. I make about $41,000 in salary and have a 401(k) with about $23,000 in savings and an Ameriprise investment account with about $30,000. I have an adult daughter but she's married and self-supporting.
Here's my question: My father died in March and my four siblings and I are each going to inherit about $55,000 from the sale of his home and other real estate.
In today's market, what's the best place for me to put that money? A money market fund? Stocks? Something else?
