I would think the biggest problem is that the nature of all of your relationships will change.
Exactly. I would doubt everyone's motivation in being my friend. Winners tend to develop big targets on their back for every grifting friend and relative.
I would do the same as the smart ones. Invest it conservatively and live off the interest. As frugal as I am and because I simply don't want stuff, I could get by just fine on 5% of $1 million and that security of knowing that interest income is coming would make me very happy indeed.
I think you would be amazed at all the new cousins you suddenly had.
lol Long lost relatives; ‘friends’ you haven’t seen in ages - or ever.
