Probably pay off the condo. Maybe do some upgrades.
Travel with my wife somewhere for a 2 week long vacation.
Throw the rest in savings.
Saving for what? You'd still live in a condo?
I mean, I won’t have much leftover after paying off my condo. I live in a very expensive city.
Plus, you never know what you need money for down the line. Maybe my heating will need replacement. Maybe I lose my job. Maybe a family member will need professional care, like a home attendant. Or maybe I’ll take another vacation next year. Who knows.
$500K is not a crazy amount of money. It’s certainly enough to dramatically improve my life. But not enough for me to stop working, or buy stupid things - or anything like that
Friend, the question proposed $500 Million to play with, not $500 thousand. You have a lot more budget to play with.
The question was five hundred million...
