    Put it with rest of investments. Wait a year till capital gains kick kicks in then probably retire on interest.

    Pay off the house, and all debt, buy a Slate truck and a 30 year old Subaru. Install solar and a battery. Build an Earthship. Buy tools and other supplies at auction. Invest the rest. Shelter those in need. Tip well. Hunker down and prepare.

    Leave my country, buy an old decrepit spooky mansion in a non-Western country, and spend the rest of my days pretending to be a ghost whilst using the remaining funds for small acts of charity for the nearest town/village. I wanna see if I can create a legend.

    Pay off our mortgage, pay my wife’s student loans, give my parents $1M, buy my sister in law a home to live in rent free, save the rest for my baby girl, 50k invested for all my nieces and nephews, and have another baby.

    I’m a developer and I love it, but hate the current state of the field. I would quit my job and start my own company. It would be a lot less scarry if I didn’t have to worry about making money. I could just make the things I wanted.

    5 Million? O.K. let’s roll.

    60K for university education, should be plenty.

    40K go to paying various bills for friends and family

    100K for various charities

    1.8M go to building a non-profit high tech eco commune in Argentina or a similarly climatically stable place with features inspired by FM 2030’s book Upwingers in regards to future living

    300K go to anti-militarist causes

    500K go to various vegan groups

    200K go to building school projects in developing regions

    1M are invested into a photovoltaic power station from which I will extract a $6000 rent p.a. max with the rest of the proceeds going to a fund for disabled people and disadvantaged youths

    Last million:

    100K for travels

    100K for a communal homelab that provides hosting for FLOSS and anti-conservative politics

    200K for hackspaces

    250K for unions, they better have some conviction though

    350K for cruelty free research on rare diseases

    Immediately invest a million into China directly for Chinese citizenship, then 4 million via wealth management companies so I and my children can live off of dividends for the rest of time in China.

    Even 1% dividend monthly on 4 mil is $40,000 a month.
