I am not sure if I agree with all the advice here. I think the first thing you should do is celebrate. Take a month and spend it on a tropical beach, or whatever your dream location may be. If you like company, bring along some friends and pay for them. The point is to tell yourself, this is my month to relax, enjoy, and get used to things. No need to think about what to do next, just have fun.
Then, when the month is over, you will get back to figuring out what you want to do. You have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to options. I am sure you will find something great!
- shmoogy 5y agoI think the problem with that is - if he's already lacking motivation for regular life - going into a dream vacation will just make regular things mundane. He's got a lot of money so he could probably keep up that lifestyle and live off investments ... but have to be careful to not go broke like many suddenly rich people.
- issa 5y agoPersonally, I would be bored as hell after a month at a tropical beach and be very excited to get to work on building something--anything! Maybe that's not what everyone's response would be.
- divbzero 5y agoI agree with most of this except I would set a budget for the trip: a budget higher than anything you would have imagined spending in the past but still a small fraction of your newly gained assets. Then, when the month is over, you’ll have plenty left to work with when figuring out what you want to do. (Safe investment should be part of what you figure out. Your risk profile should be different now if you intend those funds to be a good portion of your livelihood.)
