Large sums of money gives you freedom. Don't like your job? Quit and hold out until you find your ideal job. Don't want to work? Retire! Want to travel? Now you can! If you are happy in your life, you don't have to change anything just because you have a lot of money in your bank account. I'd recommend considering three things: 1. Try helping people with your money. Start small - pay for someones groceries at checkout, pay a small medical bill for someone that needs it (checkout watsi). I find helping people very rewarding and you might decide it's something you want to start doing. 2. Travel. Traveling can give you perspective on life that can help you figure out what is important in your life. 3. Park your money in real-estate that produces income. Your money will grow with the increasing real-estate value and also provide you with income to live on. So your $8M grows slowly, you have money to live on and you aren't slowly draining your bank account.
