A few items to consider.
Is this a windfall, or is there a likelihood of similar payouts in the future. Personally, a windfall would be invested more conservatively than if the amount was likely to be repeated again in the future.
Have you considered your tax position. Will this be considered income, capital gains or tax exempt, or is the 100k an after tax amount.
Unfortunately, you are likely to find that 100K is really not all that much when it comes to a permanent lifestyle change, but if you are young, put away it would take care of your retirement.
