Not ask Hacker News. Find a financial planner who can advise you on, the tax implications of a sudden windfall (federal estate tax, IRA contribution limitations, etc., etc., etc.), how to account for your living expenses + inflation, and how to overall preserve and/or grow your net amount. Then you'll know how much you really have to "spend", and over how long of a period. Then, if you're so inclined, come back and ask HN "What would you do with the net $XXX K that you just inherited?"
