Should I even get a job?

Yes - build on it. Do something you’re passionate about and worry less. Reevaluate in 5-10 years and make something for yourself

Dont live off someone else. You need to learn work ethic. Comfort is the death ambition. You're not a made man, a man is someone who figures out how be a leader of an industry.

Get passionate about wealth creation but you have alot to lose and will be left carrying the bag. Money flows up.

Or, do this. Use your leg up to find out what you want to do. Forget you have it. What is your passion? If its wanting to make an app or help animals, or make money of weak people, do that. Dont wank over your new bank balance, get to work to make your money work for you.

Do put 5/10% into appreciating assests because money is about to get weaker. People dont understand 100k in a house today isnt the same as 100k in 5 years. Money devalues.

Yeah because money goes away very fast. And 1.5 million isn’t shit if you are in your twenties. If you were 55, it’s another story.

You don’t really want to be in a situation where you are 30 or 35, need more income, but have zero skills.

You’ve got a leg up because now you have a source of passive income. But you still need a source of active income.

You’ll end up want to do something sooner of later

You desperately need to educate yourself

A lot of disconnect here for someone like me.

However my perspective would be, even if you can live extremely comfortably off of this mone y and it's yeild.

You are probably going to find that you need to DO something.

The good thing is, you may be in a great position to figure that out.

I'd spend some time finding someone reputable that can help you use that money wisely, all while figuring out what work it is that is going to be fulfilling to you.

Pursue what is meaningful, not what is expedient.

A work at a algorithmic trading desk (hedge fund) and we are all millionaires. We do the 10-5pm workday + weekends because making money is fun.

Don’t wagecuck, but do something high risk

Yes....life needs to have some sort of purpose. You need a reason to get up in the morning. Turn that 1 million into 20. Get your real estate license maybe since you were left property.

Learn a skill that you enjoy and pays you. Hedonism can lead you down a dark path, and besides, you never know what your future holds and if you'll need to work again someday.

Always be employable!

You cannot assume stocks will bring in 5% steady income. That is a ridiculouse assumption.

MrNeurotypical · 2021-06-21T00:39:43+00:00

Lol I could make way more than that in a trading account and I make way more from a trading account than a job. Go sign up with TDAmeritrade and take all their classes. University is a luxury for you at this point. Totally not needed unless you have an interest. Also sell the real estate during this supermassive bubble and roll it into a trading account.

Once you have the money situation dealt with, life is just adventures. I'm moving to Thailand and gonna do SCUBA, ocean fishing, tropical jungles, beaches, whores, etc. My kids will go to international schools, wife will be happy, and we're going to have awesome lives. I'm even taking my eldest son fishing and scuba diving with me.

Build your empire even bigger while building your legacy(kids). Always remember that money can't buy happiness, but neither can poverty.

if you want to learn how to invest a degree in finance/economics would be a good basis (although not sufficient). Honestly if you dont even have a basic understanding of accounting/economics id seriously question whether you really knew what the fuck you were doing investing in stocks. How long do you think youre not going to have to pay rent for? I would say go for the finance degree if investing interests you. If it doesnt I would say cs degree is really useful these days and would be a good skillset to learn. Dont go to university for garbage degree like liberal arts ones. A career is irreplaceable

TXJohn83 · 2021-06-21T05:09:08+00:00

Yes, I have known people to blow through that much cash in 2-3 years...

VanillaG69 · 2021-06-21T00:33:55+00:00

Yolo it all on GME and become a billionaire

Turn that mil into 1 Billion. Seriously, get hustling kid.
