$1 million free-and-clear to me alone? After taxes, I'd put it into index funds and then take some time off to spend time with family and to change to a certain career adjacent to my current one that I would love to do. $1 million for investment, but otherwise free-and-clear? I'd form an LLC and then buy into local cash-flow businesses like laundromats, equipment rentals, and apartment rentals. Then I would use the cash flow from those business to pursue more exploratory business ideas.
