The ability to pay off your house
If I was given 600k, one of the last things I would think to do would be to pay off a mortgage at 2.75%.
I have no car loans.
I would just invest the money. And yeah, I guess it would let me retire a bit earlier than expected, but it wouldn’t change my current life at all.

Yeah if 600,000 doesn’t change your life you must have an insane spending and stuff problem
It’s not generational wealth and for most it’s not enough to retire on (aside from someone already close to retirement and sitting on a nice nest egg).
It’ll definitely make someone financially comfortable, but it really isn’t “life changing”

And what about the rest of us 12.5% mortgage rates?

600k plus is definitely life changing money for 99% of people

That's a bizarre combination of picks for 2.5K. Someone betting that has 1mil+ liquid cash.
You’d be surprised. I don’t bet but I have several friends (degenerates) who do decent for themselves; six figure incomes but nothing crazy. I’ve seen bet slips in the thousands from them; I don’t get it
