living for the rest of your life would be difficult on that kind of money without some luck in investments. i'd probably wait for the market to bottom out and buy some nice property, probably get the most mileage out of that.

Chuck it all into as high an interest account as you can find, then live off the interest. You'd probably have to downside your living a bit to accomodate, but providing you stayed in a tight budget you could do it indefinitely (witihn reason)

I don't know but I think the best thing to do would be ask the advice of anonymous stoners on an internet forum, you can't get better advice than that.

yeah i guess this thread would be going this way but perhaps there are some intelligent anonymous stoners on this internet forum (working in a bank perhaps?)

:corndance:

so what would you do? asides from getting professional help (because theyll take their percentage for sure)?

I'd probably spend a bit initially, then just carry on with my life as normal and put the money aside, probably not even tell many people about it. It's a boring answer but you'd never have any financial stress. Imagine one day your house burned down and through some loophole your insurance wouldn't pay, you could just shrug it off like you split a glass of water.

Eh.. it goes quicker than you might think, tbh. It's certainly nothing you can sit back and relax on.
A close family member won half a million on the Lottery nearly 2 years ago now and it's almost gone but they've invested in a couple of nice houses in a desirable area that should hopefully hold their value.

But yeah, keep it quiet or you'll have no end of casual acquaintances trying to be your new best freind... Uh, I mean, someone you know's best friend :wink:

real estate ( in a major city). it outperforms every stock market, just as long as you don't seek financing. buy outright, and watch your money double or triple. after that, as has been said, invest in solar or wind energy (both of which are at a watershed moment)
