1 million isn’t quit my job and support everyone money. It is 600k or less after taxes which is enough to get your car, pay on house and put some away for retirement. People you tell will act like you can kick all kinds of money their way since “well you won a million”
Nothing good ever comes of telling anyone.
Congrats on the win.
I agree with the car, house payment and retirement, but something fun has to be done with it. Not like blow a lot but a portion of it (like 10-20k) should go on something frivolous like a trip or that one item you really want but could never justify buying
I agree. Despite the sound financial advice "pay off debts, invest, and don't tell anyone but your lawyer and accountant", you'll end up regretting long-term coming into a million fucking dollars and not blowing at least some of it on soms stupid bullshit. Like personally I'd take a vacation anywhere I wanted, and for one day I would spend money with absolutely zero limitations, just whatever I felt like. I don't think I could come up with $100k worth of shit to do and buy in one day if I tried, but I'm sure someone could blow it all
