You're right to not want to reveal your wealth to those closest to you. There's basically no upside to that and tons of downside.

As others have said, you don't have to figure out your entire future right now. The sudden freedom from a huge windfall like this feels like a ton of pressure to jump straight into the best path, the path you always dreamed of taking if money was no object. But that isn't how life works. Take a deep breath and trust that you'll figure this out each step of the way, and it will be good.

The first thing you need to do is make your wealth sustainable. What would you do if cheap scalable cold fusion were invented tomorrow, and your monthly income from this land dropped to zero by 2025? Set a reasonable budget for your lifestyle, and put the rest into a diversified portfolio that will grow and sustain you indefinitely. Get a fiduciary for this (if you don't know, fiduciaries are legally obligated to work in your best interest, versus investment/wealth managers who will siphon off your money). Or read into some basic wealth management on your own.

If you've lost interest in school, it's probably best to leave for now. You can always go back later.

My honest advice: find a way to give back. You sound like a good person who has been granted an incredible opportunity. That's a rare combination. Most people who receive windfalls like this end up miserable. Look up the statistics for lotto jackpot winners. Part of it is the alienation of loved ones if they know about your wealth, and the other part is the empty hedonism. Pursuing pleasure with money will hollow you out. Not having anything meaningful to work for will make you depressed. True happiness comes from doing meaningful work, and one of the most meaningful things you can do, in my experience, is helping those in need. Volunteer somewhere, and tell your family it's your job. It will open your eyes and you'll get ideas about what you want to do next.

This is me. People my age tell me how envious they are that I've been to 30+ countries but now I'm 36 and have never had anything that resembles a career. Now I'm busting my ass to catch up but you can only make up for so much lost time, especially when you're older and things like relationships and responsibility get in the way.

My honest advice though is to find the middle path. I'm quite sure that the regret of wasting your youth at a desk would be at least equally painful, if not more so. Go and travel and collect experiences, but make sure to always hold on to at least one major thread of personal development. Language proficiency can open doors for you. Sales/communication skills are valuable in all industries. Networking and making connections has the highest potential payoff versus effort involved and can take you to places you could never imagine. If nothing else, pursue tech skills on your laptop while you travel. Just make sure you're doing more than soaking your brain in booze and chatting up Aussie sloots (as fun as that is).

Most of all - do it now. I took an international trip this past spring and it was depressing to see how overdeveloped and overrun places have become in just the last 15 years. That trend is only going to continue. The old world is rapidly disappearing.

Yup. Simple as. We got 3 months, lunchads.

And I've been getting more and more sick, and no real answers, luckily today my last doctor put the pieces together and found out I've been getting a reactivation of a type of virus most humans shrug off.
Problem is those rare few who don't are fatal.

I'm likely fatal isn't really even an if scenario since I've been having it on and off for the better part of a decade and it's maximum shelf life historically is 10 years and that's with stem cell treatments.

I'm not shocked as I've came close to dying a few times from septic like symptoms since 2018.

My time here on earth is finally sealed but there is some closure knowing I can stop trying so damn hard at life and can just give in.

I didn't make it and infact I lost my only chance to last year but knowing what I know now I wouldn't have made it regardless.

It was nice meeting you faggots, you guys gave me hope when my body was failing and probably extended my life on this planet by a year or two.

I hope you guys sincerely make it, those who've been here and put in their time and held onto dear life in hopes of a better dream or having something to leave to your loved ones.

I wish this was a larp but it's not, getting some things into place and saying my goodbyes, I might still have a few years left in me with some treatments but there's no cure for what I have and I refuse to spend the rest of my life fighting a battle I can't win.

Pray for my family anons, and for my doctors that they give me the best care and alleviate my pain in my last few years on this planet.

Enjoy this life, I lived mine fast and now I can at least lay my head down at night knowing I don't have to fight anymore, and pray I get some assistance from the state so I can rest peacefully in these final days.

Goodluck gentlemen, I'll see you on the otherside.
And no I'm not vaxxed, it would have likely killed me quicker.
