God, just in terms of local economy imagine having someone in your community suddenly throwing around millions of dollars like it's nothing...
meh, my life probably wouldn’t change much. I would definitely keep it quiet. But there would be signs 😉
Only items I would do:
My current life is gucci. I don’t care about fame, status (ie, buying midlife crisis cars like Porsches or insecurity compensators like trucks or SUVs), expensive clothes, or gigantic overpriced homes in the suburbs.
At the end of the day, it’s just a number in the bank account(s).
Make sure to “gift” yourself the same million that your family gets. Make it anonymous. “Who gave everyone all this money???”
I'd do the basics of paying off my house and doing some renovations on it. Or buy and move into a slightly bigger one in the same area. Maybe buy/rent a condo right next to Wrigley Field. Nothing fancy, but I would like to be able to stay near the park.
After I put most into safe investments I would have some fun.
I'd find some financial advisors and give each of them a million to invest for me. Then fire the one who performs the worst after a period of time. Then put that money to a new investor and repeat.
I'd buy a small warehouse to turn into an auto shop to house and work on the cars I buy. Which would be daily drivers, so things like a Miata and a classic mustang. The only fancy car I'd buy, and drive, is a Catterham. This would be my main hobby, so I don't consider it a waste of money. Repairing/restoring cars and selling them.
I'd set off on a road trip and love to be able to just see and experience everything without worrying about how much hotels, food, and gas cost. If it weren't for girlfriend and her daughter I'd consider even just living in a van for a while. Spend a year and go to literally every Cubs game.
Saving this for when I win the lottery. Will not report back.
Not even one hooker?
Escorts, my guy 😉
What can I say? I prefer more bang for my buck.
I believe that's included in the gallivanting around the world. Or at least that's what I'd be doing.
Half a million dollars for risky investments is 0.037% of the value.
You sneeze, and your networth changes by millions in even the safest of investments.
Probably what my windfall roadmap is built on 👍
Line for line, that's pretty much exactly what I'd do.
