Consider getting involved in some IT area for which you have passion in a nice project (probably open source) and set a fixed amount of time you at least and at most spend on it per-week or bi-weekly and try to keep it.
It also has the benefit that if you somehow lose you money you still have qualifications to show to get a new job even years after you finished you degree.
Assuming software engineering is you passion or hobby.
Alternatively get a hobby which is more like "just consuming time", but will continuously provide challenges and keep you on edge. Preferably one which puts you (from time to time) into contact with people, has conventions (post covid) or similar.
- dathinab 5y agoAlso be careful for most people 7.5 Million Euro seems like an endless amount of money and if you keep a grounded living style it is. But it's also easy to spend for vanity. Like people with more then that ended up accidentally going bankrupt due to bad spending patterns. (Or just bad luck with investments.)
- Trasmatta 5y agoYeah, this is what I was going to say. Depending on how you use it, 7.5 million Euro could either last you your entire life (with some left over for your descendants), or it could all be blown in a couple years. Some people who receive windfalls think they're in the first group, but actually end up in the second.
