>>2658496This happened to me as well. Went from living of tinned sardones and dried beans to bring a millionaire overnight.
Still eating sardines and dried beans, shit I'm not even peripherally aware of what can and can't be purchased or the implications of having so much money.
Going to a financial adviser next week, which costs $100. Instinctively that seems like a heap of money.... but rationally its entirely prudent.
I put the money into a savings account with a major bank, and discovered that 3% of a million dollars is $3000 a year for nothing. That's more than I had a year ago just in interest. It seems deeply unfair because rather than gaining 3% I'm actually losing 2% to inflation and I now see that poor people are taxed an avelanching %5 a year by bankers.
I paid off some marginal debts my family had, but this turned out to be a mistake. These people had debts because they were financially irresponsible and they immediately reborrowed and came back to me for more money. These people asked me for money when my income was $50 a week and only now I realised they were making ten times what I was. Having money made me realise how rich everyone was compared to me all along.
I'm probably going to buy a house over the next 6 months- one year. Fuck paying rent.
Today I bought two non alcoholic beers. That's the most luxury I've had in three years. I walked two miles to the door because I'm not used to paying for the bus.
Whenever I've asked people for help they've either abused me or demanded money, some tried to help before demanding money, two people stole things from my house. Strong caution OP, you're going to have to be so much more wary of people from now on and its exausting. Never tell anyone that you have money.
