Depending on how much you spend, you're likely Financially Independent. Some call it Financially Independent Retire Early abbreviated FIRE. There's a whole community talking about how to get to FIRE and what getting there means for them. Some have tried the retire early part and it wasn't for them, so they have found some work that is fulfilling to them. Bogleheads[0] is a good community, and Reddit has /r/financialindependence and /r/fatFIRE If you search these communities, you'll find others asking for similar situations with different numbers. You can now control what you do in your time. You can use it to improve your health, learn something new, spend time with family, or work on a passion project of yours. If you have questions about how to invest and live off your windfall, Bogleheads is a good place to learn about that as well. [0] http://bogleheads.org http://bogleheads.org
