Don't listen to me. If you still reading I can only say what I would do. I am roughly same age and positon as you without the 8M. I work because I love IT but mostly because I have to provide for my family. This money gives you freedom. I would secure it in low risk investment and then do what I love. Right now I am enjoying experimenting with auaponics and hydroponics. I would love to have try my hand at being a farmer but I can't afford to quit my job. You don't mention your hobbies or what you like, that's where I would start.
