re: You inherit $5 million tax free, what changes?

I'd sell my current house and upgrade a bit, still no more than 900k or so. I'd quit my job. I'd talk to my wife and see if she still wants to work. If so, we'd start a multi-specialty clinic that we've talked about in the past. If not, we'd probably buy this interior design shop that she previously worked at. The rest would be invested (thinking 3M or so depending on the route we'd take).

I would invest most immediately. Then, I would work a part time job that I really enjoyed and take vactions more often. I would probably own a very nice but reasonably sized house in Louisiana and one close to the beach in Florida. No super fancy cars or bullshite like that. Probably just a nice truck and a sunday cruiser.

I would pay off everything....maybe buy another camp with 2 more boats. I would like to think I would continue working but I doubt I would work M-F I would probably say my schedule is Tues -Thurs take it or leave it.

Let wife quit job and do something else. Pay off mortgage. Tell kids they can go wherever they want for college. Buy a small beach house for about $500k. I would keep working.

House wouldn’t be completely paid off, high school and college for my two kids taken care off, and I have at least two more little ones. That is really all that would change for me

I would pay off the current house that we just bought. I would then buy a nice cabin in the N GA Mountains or Gatlinburg and rent it out and then purchase a modest lake house. I would then quit my job and find something else less stressful and invest the rest of it.

I would buy a trailer park and invite all my friends to come be my neighbors for free

My dad could retire with $1 M. As for me, I would invest the rest somehow. Maybe buy a busines franchise with part of it.

$5million tax Free would be less than ive already inherited. I would have to cut back on some lifestyle choices.
That isn't how math works.

I am already retired, I have done about 95% of my bucket list, have no mortgage or debt, no interest in vehicles or toys, and my kids are all college graduates with no student loan debt. Based on all of that,
1. Create education trusts for future grandkids.
2. Help my kids with down payments for houses, they all live in expensive cities. You always value more what you worked to achieve, so I want them to have skin in the game with a mortgage.
3. Buy a modest beach or lake house somewhere in the U.S. that all the family can share.

The amount of money in my bank account? $5M is just enough to frick up financially, in the long run, if you don't make a plan...
I wouldn't want a bigger house or anything. I think I would immediately take $2.5M and put it in safe investments. One thing I would is donate all the stuff I have now, clothes, computer, tools, etc and buy all new shite.

I'd move to Colorado and buy a house.

New house, pay off car, figure out a plan to quit my job eventually and start my own business
