meh, my life probably wouldn’t change much. I would definitely keep it quiet. But there would be signs 😉

Only items I would do:

  • setup a trust and put national lawyer firm on to claim money on behalf (senior partner only)
  • set aside one million dollars for each immediate family member. Use lawyer firm as buffer
  • pay off any unnecessary debts (ie, credit card bills)
  • move assets (car, home, …) into a shell corp (obfuscate as much as possible)
  • setup diversified investment portfolio of ETFs and other safe investment instruments. Live only on the earned income from passive investments
  • quit career once everything settles, investment income fully replaces corp drone salary (including benefits)
  • set aside half million for risky investments
  • travel/gallivant around the world for a few months
  • look into getting my own ideas off the ground with my own money. Hopefully setup my own sustainable business and treat those around me much better than what I have seen in various corp job settings
  • increase donos into non-profit orgs
  • above all, keep it as quiet as possible. Keep details on a need to know basis. Let immediate family know if they need financial help, to reach out to my lawyer firm

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).

What can I say? I prefer more bang for my buck.
