Read the TL;DR, the rest just helps me feel better.

7 months ago, I attained the rights to land from my uncle that receives insanely high amounts of oil royalites each month. He struggled with addiction all his life, barely ever had a job, but always somehow managed to skate by. It broke my heart seeing him as he was before he died, and I knew he got money, but I imagined only enough to sustain, since he always had average little apartments filled with cool tools and a nice car. I only found out about his addication two years ago, and have had significant stress up til he died. Near his death, he admitted he felt he never deserved anything nice because of how pathetic thought he was, how much pain he caused our family, and that he's actually rich, and always thought we'd leave him for his money, and that the land he owns has, and seemingly always will be receiving an insane fuckton of money each month. I never believe him bc it seemed like a desperate lie to make me want to console him about his inevitable OD, since he'd make me rich afterwards. Back in April, I was truly given everything and more.

It has been surreal. I was a struggling university student half-assing my way through a tech major with no real passion. I went thru a reserve branch in the military in order to gain tangible skills as an aircraft mechanic, as a backup for if I failed in school. I stressed over exams.

I told my family/gf I have enough to pay their mortgage, most of their bills, and save a little for myself, which allowed my dad to go from 40-60hrs a week for years to a nice 20hrs. But I haven't told anyone the true insanely massive size of what I get. I haven't even bought anything for myself. But these past few weeks I stopped going to classes bc it's just fucking pointless. I feel weird every day when I think about revealing everyone close to me about it.


TL;DR I've been a wagie my whole life and planned to always be. Now I made it and I don't know what to do now.

I wanted to include this, but I had been blabbing for too much. But one thing I tried doing a couple year ago was replay old games from my childhood to comfort myself. Since I was a dumbass kid, I never could use any cheats or mod my games. As an adult I had access to those things and I'd turn on all of the cheats in the shit I'd play, play for a few hours and never do it again. Eventually, I realized I had been ruining the fun of it all, and that's why it was boring.

That is how I feel now but on an insane scale. All I do is lie about where I am all day when really I'm just watching movies, playing instruments, and sitting in my chair on my computer.

>> No.56691648

Dont reveal it imo

See it as an opportunity to do what you want to do without stressing about it ie. Learn something you enjoy doing and maybe turn it into a business (though it doesnt even need to be that profitable) on the way, dont be conceived into thinking it will be an endless money stream, it could stop anytime, your insane government just needs to flick a finger

I would probably build a workshop and do woodworking for fun, while selling it, doing something with your hands keeps you sane

oddly, money also made me depressed. I made a "proper crypto trade" and ended up with a good amount of cash. I wanted to celebrate and hang out with my IRL friends. I contacted them, told them my situation, and they didn't want anything to do with me anymore. in fact, some of them told me they were simply jealous. I guess the moral of the story is to never tell Anyone that you've got money. it really changes shit.

I just don't need to and that's the thing. I live with my family. We could live for three years how we've been living currently in our low-middle class home. No bills, and insanely low financial stress for all of us, and still have enough to save so that I could buy what I used to call a Minecraft house, because they're so big and elegant it's like one of the minecraft luxury homes I'd build in that game. There's no point for my step-mom, dad, to be working. There's no reason for my step-bro/sis to be asleep right now for class tomorrow. Yes I do want to spoil them and give them everything and have a large massive vacation, and we could do that and STILL have enough to save to do all of what I just said.

My advice would be to first and foremost save so much money from your monthly checks to put yourself back into the position where you were at first. (e.g. you were earning 2K monthly before this then save everything above that 2k) This should keep you grounded until you find out what you really want to do with your life.

Then start a business that encompasses your interests (you like guitars so open up a guitar shop and give back to your local community) or something that ties in to the skills you've learned in UNI.

I got laid off this year and have been depressive fuck as I had no motivation to do anything until my severance pay came in (it still hasn't) and now I built up bad habits and even worse work ethic than what I started with.

first off as you probably already discovered money is an incredible burden. poorfags have the luxury of never understanding and they actually truly believe that money is going to "solve their problem(s)"
you wanting to give those around you a better life is admirable but ultimately very misguided. you will simply ruin their lives the same way you are ruining your own.

this is the single worst place to ask for advice on what to do with money.
>buy a lambo

>start a business
almost all businesses fail, so if you want to be miserable about wasting your inheritance on something you are absolutely not prepared for, this will make things worse
>invest in X
unless X is an index fund you're just gambling, you'll just be a gambling addict
>give to charity
will NOT make you happy unless you've done this before and found it enjoyable. like if you've never volunteered for the fun of it giving to charity isn't going to make you feel any better.
>help out family
you'll get taken advantage of and eventually become bitter and lonely because of how your money isolates you and prevents anyone from forming real attachments to you
>travel
might work if you've never done it before but just as easily might make you feel like you're wasting your time.

Usually because of lack of money. If money is not a factor, you can have a business as a "hobby" pretty much indefinitely. For example the guitar store someone else mentioned ITT. If you can pay the rent and utilities for the building, there is 0 chance of the business failing. OP can easily become one of those hobbyist stores that is open 2.5 days a week (if you're lucky) on the most random hours, only when OP feels like it.

It doesn't have to be this exact example, but it applies to a lot of smaller businesses.

My dad's side of the family is native, and he was disowned by his immediate family for having my brother in bumfuck nowhere and eventually moves to an eastern state and starts his life there. He never truly understood his family's potential wealth because no one gave a fuck to pay his parents what they rightfully owed, and if they did it wasn't nearly as much as they have to do now. Pure natives that truly also live on the rez on addicts/alcoholics/gamblers etc. too, so I'm sure my grandparents were fucked as well considering what they disowned my dad for. His brother came into my life late but we really bonded and loved each other a lot, and I always remember him as being the one to give me awesome toys and shit. By the time we knew of his drug problem, we figured he only had enough to fund it. Near the end he admitted to me that he'd felt he never deserved the money because of shit he did in the past and that he never wanted to come back into my dad's life by buying him back in. By the time my uncle came back into my dad's life, he had inherited the land and it was the peak of the oil boom in the area. If my uncle never came back into my dad's life and never truly knew of me, he probably would've wrote my dad's name in and fucked his brain with it instead

Focus on the goals. You want a family with your GF? Start calculating the costs of a Kid, house, school. Or even ask how many kids you GF would want.

Don't buy into vanity. No one will care what care you drive for more than a few months these days. But someone will care if you managed to save businesses as an Angel Investor.

If family isn't on you agenda, I'd say assess your morales and what you would not do. Focus on what you wouldn't do as to avoid places such as Red Light Countries. This way if you think you want to travel, avoid thailand's red light district.

REMEMBER: Money is only a tool, it's a good servant but a horrible master.

When you make it, don't let the world trick you into giving back so quickly. An investment in the right places can keep you going for your goals with much less financial stress.

That feels like the problem for me
I've always been a low middle-class wagie and it sent me into depression, and I broke through it that ultimately it is my worldview that gives life meaning. I started to appreciate doing this the hard way, or 'the grind' in order to get to where I could have the time to do what I wanted to do in my free time. I found admiration in my dad and myself for doing things on our own through will and perserverance and now it feels like it was all for nothing. I'm apprehensive of it all because I know it will affect the people around me and I know it will affect them in incredibly positive ways and potentially relationship-ending life-ending ways and it terrifies me. And everyone is telling me I have it made.

The problem with being handed extreme wealth is it removes the incentive to keep growing and working in real life. The solution is to look inward and begin the struggle of conquering your mind, body, and spirit while remaining grateful that you have the opportunity to do these things because of your wealth. Finding a charity or donating to those who need it can also be a source of great joy, you could help animals instead of people if you're burned out by them and need time to heal before you can get back out there. Go to your local animal shelter and make a list of shit they need then go buy it and give it to them, volunteer in your community, heck volunteer to hang out with the animals or work at the shelter. Find a hobby you never thought you could afford and go balls deep in it.

Happiness is a choice and you don't have to choose sadness and pain unless you want to.

>Now I made it and I don't know what to do now.
You've discovered that money is work - in a sense. Actually, the allocation of money is a form of work, and when you do e.g. wage labor, you are actually performing a work-work swap, performing low-volatility work (going to the office every day or whatever the case may be) in order to gain access to high-volatility work (making decisions about what to purchase). We could, if we just looked at the increase in volatility, say that money is a form of freedom, but if we also take into account the existence of work, see that "having money" is a form of slavery all on its own.
If you have $1K in your account, this is not an operative factor, since the allocation-decision is either pretty clear (necessities or small luxury goods), and not weighty if made incorrectly. However, as the amount of money to allocate grows, the demand to allocate that money becomes the dominant factor, and the curse of money springs into effect. And that curse is to still be a slave, but to not even have one's slavery acknowledged anymore: to be a slave who is called "free"; an outcast even among slaves.
As for the more specific effects of said curse: you will feel guilty (and be made to feel guilty), and feel the need to allocate that money "well": some people buy luxury items, some give it away, some "do something productive" with it (an effort that generally ends in failure due to demographics and lack of business-knowledge), some will try to buy their way back into the good graces of their fellow slaves by allowing themselves to be grifted.
This brings us to what you "should do". Nothing, there is no "should", that's psychological blackmail. Do whatever with it, it's not my problem. I merely supply you with the information about the nature of the curse of money.

yes, but enough wealth causes every single person to increasingly think like this....you personally also think like this rightnow, but you're ignoring it....every financial decision you make is based on this calculation (not your "oh no i'm useless", but there are things not worth your effort given the return).

I have always been put off by gambling and have personally dealt with an alcohol problem which I've been sober from for 3 years since. I also know I have a gambling tendency through stupid video games. Once I decide to make this money situation a real thing in my life, the first thing will be going to an advisor. I don't know how it works, but I hope to go to a financial advisor and make a lifelong business relationship with them/someone to help manage all the money, and I plan on having my own independant massive source as well.

I'm with you. Ultimately I think some sort of way to help small children is most moral thing. They didnt ask to be born and are now suffering thru no fault of their own, so easing their suffering is good.
hard part is that there are tons of scheming fucks at all layers between your money and them, and each want to siphon it off and funnel into lambos.

You think top CEOs don't realize they could fuck off forever off their wealth? They continue to work because productivity is enjoyable.

Perhaps you need to consider a hobby or vocation that allows you to explore and create something you find personally meaningful rather than take defeatist "work for the man" mindset

But if that isn't right then just working an ez wagie part time job at a coffee shop or brewery or some place you like, talking with locals and making friends might be all you need.

Donate directly and as quietly as possible and you reduce the grifting immensely. Do your due diligence to make sure what you give goes towards helping and don't just take an organizations words for it ask questions and do some research on the matter first, but if you drop off baby formula and pet food by the pallet to hospitals or shelters it's hard to go wrong. Just ask what they need first. As for competing with the government, they would weep tears of joy if people gave so much money they had to reallocate resources elsewhere. You're not competing with them at that point you're they're friend. Paying your taxes actually does do a lot to help other people and I'm insane enough to pay my taxes, then donate to stuff I believe in, then fuck off and just go be happy with whatever is left because it'd be more than enough even still.

I'm not sure about your comment for losing respect for God, body, and race. I was a very solid individual in the ideal society perceived way. Great grade university student getting a tech degree. Former Reserve military member. I've hid this part of me for 7 months, and up until a few weeks ago did the things I've always done my obligations and been proud of it. From small shit like making my bed when I wake up, or cleaning a bathroom or my room, to studying for exams, or getting a job/internships. That's just how the world works for nearly everyone.

I kept it up for 7 months just because it feels easier than explaining to everyone about the resources I have access to now since my Uncle's gone. The idea's that your talking about 'actually choose what to do with my life', is what I am looking for advice on. I worked listlessly in life because that is the way life is for a vast majority of people and it was for me and now suddenly it's not, and it's an insane plateau to be dealing with because it's a plateau that there are very litte people for me to commiserate about with it.

Thank you about my uncle. This is from the /biz/ thread, but it's how his relationship fucked with me. When I was a kid he was a hero, then suddenly I saw him for what he was. For a long time I resented him for not taking care of himself and always causing my family grief. Near the end I openly told him I can't ever know you when he's fucked up like that, and I cried like I was a little kid. I really never understood adults uncontrollably crying, it's always been easy for me to maintain myself and not get upset in front of people. I don't know why. Even now just thinking about him is making me cry, when there was a point in time not even that long before he died that I thought if he was just dead, I wouldn't have to worry about him all the time.

In line with not being a combative asshole, as which I indeed start out: let me not just leave you hanging, OP. While I won't tell you what to do with your money, you can at least isolate yourself from the day-to-day stress of having to manage it by setting up a trust-fund (consult a lawyer specializing in these things). You can set up how the money will be used, e.g. giving you some reasonable monthly sum, and investing the rest, or even donating a certain portion to some charity of your choice. That should help keep you grounded.

People are going to abuse or misuse the help you give in some capacity no matter what you do and even the best run charities have to provision for salaries/logistics/rent/utilities/shit other than directly helping people. Realize that now, do the best you can to help as much as you can, do your research before you give, and do it anyway. If you gave a hospital enough money and formula to take care of a hundred babies would you really not have given it at all because one of their mums traded a can of formula for something else? Would it not still be worth providing that mum the opportunity to fail to realize what she did wrong to grow as a person, or the baby more than enough formula so it could still be healthy and strong despite her sin?

To me I can't see how it's complicated for you to understand the level of apathy you'd get if you just happened upon those kinds of resources. I don't know if maybe you don't have a big network of family around you, so maybe that's why it's alright, but for me a good lot of my immediate and somewhat close family are hardworking people. I don't know how to explain it, but I don't know how to navigate this without possibly changing them for the worse, or possibly revealing/creating some terrible side to other family members in my network. That's really the crux of the issue here. Not that 'oh there's so many support orgs that I wanna help out that I can't decide! Guess I'll hoard it all to myself!'

For most the wisest thing would be to give most of it to places that need it and keep enough left over to maintain a level of passive income that takes care of twice what their expenses are per annum after securing a position of "fuck you" in line with Goodman's monologue in The Gambler. That really doesn't take much money to pull off even now, 5-10 million means never ever having to work again unless you want to while enjoying a standard of living that would make kings and queens of less than a century ago jealous.

That's if someone is stubborn and refuses to get help managing all of this. The actual smartest thing to do would be get some real legal counsel directly which this link can help with https://chambers.com/legal-guide/high-net-worth-21 and they can take it from there for the most part.

Sorry about the miscommunication. There's a lot of replies I've made and I've been up all night. The shit that my uncle did in the past was referring to the way he threw his brother under the bus to side with the rest of the family, because he was also scared of being ostracized himself. I thought you were wondering why my dad was disowned in the first place.
>because I HAD to do
Yes, that's the way the world works for people. You need to have/make money. I did things to try and optimize that in the best way possible and make the best of my situation up until the windfall and it took a lot. Why would I WANT to keep doing the shitty things that I never wanted to in the first place, but were forced upon me by the way the world is structured?

i think you can still help them without turning their life upside down. first i would recommend lying so they never know the true extent of your wealth. maybe you can create your own job/business that is a front and use it as an excuse to why you can help them here and there financially. "i'm finally earning some money with that thing and i can help people around me a bit". if you want to invite the whole family for some cool vacation, dont tell them you're paying for everything. just invent some story that you befriended some rich guy who let you use his amazing big house for 2 weeks and you're so excited about it and you want to share this opportunity with the whole family. make it sound like it's not you who is paying for all that. maybe that's the best way to navigate that stuff.

i wish i had your opportunities i would never be depressed about this. i sure as hell would quit my job too but i would def do something else, i see it as a fun activity to allocate and use the money and to figure out were to help family or whomever, im smart, these kind of analytic work never bothered me, it bothers me way more to make a useless wage stem degree and get paid lowly with shitty wagejob when some roastie gets paid more than me

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. How you handle this, what boundaries you lay down, what goals you set, and how strong your conviction is is what determines whether wealth breaks or makes you or those around you. There is no way around this, shit will change, people will change, you will change, and it will not always be for the better. It will take immense effort and even pain to get back to better. And honestly on some level the people being assholes saying they don't know how the fuck you don't know what to do aren't just being assholes, they've been poor and literally dream of having this kind of opportunity. They're trying to light a fire under your ass so you hop out of this pot you're boiling in before it's too late.

The obligations that served as the foundation/cornerstone of my life are now gone because of what's happened. Are you telling me that I should continue working away, out of some imaginary requirement to not be lazy, even when there's literally no need for it? Do you really understand my perspective? I understand where your coming from, it is incredible to have the opportunities and resources to learn whatever you want, or start a business in some field because you have the drive to do that. WHY do you have that drive? Do you believe that the common person has that same drive in you to just keep going going going? I sure as shit don't, and I imagine a whole shitload of people on here and in the world would be mindlessly spending spending spending, doing absolutely fuckall with what they're getting. So far I have significant decreased the financial stress for my dad, and given gifts to my brothers, step-mom, and girlfriend, and bought a new computer chair. So for you to keep going with this 'lazy fuck' notion is ridiculous to me. If anything I'm an unguided fuck.

How can I be lazy when there's nothing I NEED to be doing? How can there BE a need anymore, and if there exists some need, what is it, and how do I even find it? How can I find it, without letting my family know that I have the power/resources to go on the journey and also allow them to have their own individual journey's? Again do you really understand me?

> without letting my family know that I have the power/resources
step 1: create a front, an explanation other than inheritance for that wealth. incoporate a business somewhere and use it as an excuse to help them. do not let anybody think you have unlimited resources to help them, it would just depend on how well your business is doing. that way they will be grateful for your help but will also know this can stop anytime because it all depends on how well your business is doing (versus: it just depends if you want to give them money or not).

>WHY do you have that drive
correct it was my point to the other anon....every action anyone takes is balanced on a 'return for effort' calculation.
given enough passive income, it becomes a corrosive effect that eats the will, since that calculation always sides with "financially smartest move is to do nothing".

what other anons are saying tho is true: You cant let that take hold because humans have a hard time living without feeling they are productive and engaged in purposeful activity.

Eh I'm not as rich as you probably but after I started making enough to provide for my family forever I realized that I'm far beyond calculating EV for my actions, I just do things because I like doing them. I drive around on my motorcycle, travel with my wife and still work my day job because it's interesting to me. Maybe I'm just lucky that u genuinely liked what I did before I even got rich lol
One thing I can recommend to op is literally just stop doing everything, like full on no phone internet music sugar etc. After staring at the wall for a couple hours and thinking random ideas will pop into your head and you can decide to invest in them, if it doesn't pan out back to step 1. You probably just need to recalibrate a life direction and you'll be fine honestly. Some things will change in your life and some won't but it's up to you to get positive results

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.

If you had the money to where you could choose that to be your job, don't you think it would eat you alive to think that there is always more you could and should be doing with it? Would you you come to realize that that goal is impossible? Would you come to the conclusion that your altruistic and good-natured efforts are ultimately meaningless? I WILL be doing those good-natured things because I agree that it is the right thing for me to do, eventually I'm going to have to open up to my family about how the hell I'm paying for things, and once they're aware, I'll feel more free to do those gestures, and I have been anonymously because I am aware they are good and the right thing to do. But doing those kinds of gestures and making those kinds of efforts I don't believe fulfill me in the way a person who has a regular life might feel fulfilled either artificially or organically by the time they die. I mean in the way of grinding through college, grinding for a career, developing yourself, meeting people. I can't use copium to convince myself that any of it really means anything. So why is it that the fulfillment of my life is gone, and now that I HAVE the power to fulfill others lives, that must be my sole purpose and I'm a piece of shit for not feeling fulfilled by doing those things. If I were reading someone say this shit a year ago, I'd also probably be shitting on them as well.

Yeah the only way passive income works and doesn't drive someone insane is if they have something to put it into and realize the value of non-material and non-monetary pursuits. There are people that found a way to smile in foxholes covered in mud and gore and there are people that aren't happy sitting in the AC with all their needs and wants covered ten thousand times over and the one thing both those people have in common is that how they feel and what their perspective and mindset on life is and their attitude towards it was entirely their own decision and nobody else's. It's the main reason I recommended studying the stoics because a literal Roman emperor and arguably one of the greatest men that's ever lived wrote a shitload about his own experience running the whole fucking world and how he maintained happiness and inner peace through that journey. Fuck me go read some Diogenes and Epictetus while you're at it OP and I'm sorry about getting pissed about it but you've been given a ton of great advice and even the dickheads are rooting for you in their own way.

You just answered your own question and you don't realize it. Help yourself before or while helping others. Do you think the rich volunteer to help with things because they want to be seen doing it, or because that raw gnawing feeling in their heart of stagnation and death and meaninglessness drives them to find a new struggle? Some of the wealthiest people I've ever known worked like slaves to better themselves and the people and world around them not for money or fame or recognition but to prove to themselves that they could. Why do you think Zuckerberg, for all his flaws, is legitimately pretty great at a martial art? Why do you think Rogan still does his podcast even though he's got more than enough to never work again? Why do you think Elon bought Twitter and went balls deep in the hornets nest?

Read the works of great men before you, struggle mightily to improve yourself and your mind and body and the world around you. Be fucking happy! It is literally a choice.

From your replies in this thread it's clear that you have a lot thoughts and feelings around this swirling around in your head, and you haven't been able to talk to anyone about it. /biz/ is not a substitute.

You said I should feel euphoric to be enabled to explore whatever field I feel I want to. I don't feel euphoria. I feel dread at the implications of what it does for me and family, and may uncover/reveal ugly sides to them, and every person I've ever known or will ever meet. I'm not saying I'm not going to donate/use my money/time for honorable, good causes. I do that and have done that even before the wealth came simply because it was the right thing to do, but just because it was the right thing to do never meant I really felt any joy from it. Yes, I've made people happy and I do enjoy being able to say that I've made and will continue to do that with the rest of my life, but that doesn't bring me any true happiness, so that is why I am confused to hear you call that selfish, and confused to be called 'lazy'. Kids go through school, make choices, and end up adults working jobs they hate, or grow to tolerate/cope with it. That's reality for a good chunk of my family, the world, and before this I had been ok with that being mine, because I found joy in simple things. Now it is incredibly different for me, and all I am looking for is how to figure it out.

My dad has always had such massive dreams/ambitions that he wanted to accomplish, but never could due to having me at a young age with no support system. He gave up so much for me just to have been in university before. I want to just go to him now and tell him to prepare to sell the family house that is the most tangible milestone showing his hardwork, because I can buy him his dream house, filled with furniture, cars, and still have enough for myself, him to be splurging for the rest of our lives. (Just to note, I won't ever go that extreme, and have already saved away a enormous portion)

I just don't know how to do that without changing everything. I didn't care that I didn't care about my major, or my future jobs because I knew it was just an ends to the means. It was just the work I needed to do to enable me to spend time with my family/gf/friends, go to the gym, play guitar, play video games, whatever and all of that was cool and it brought me closer to people, led to me meeting people etc. I was ok being in that game because it felt fun and rewarding, and now it's like someone's given me god mode, spoiled the story, given me the strongest equipment, and the big boss at the end had a heart attack and died.

You can still be a simple man even if you have money. Lynyrd Skynyrd wrote a song about it that I listen to when I'm losing myself. Just have courage when you face your fears and be true to yourself in all dealings big or small, and never forget your soul is in your keeping and your keeping alone. I'm also seconding the therapist recommendation and would personally recommend cognitive behavioral therapy as it helped me a lot when I was younger and it worked because I was the one doing the work and making the decisions.

I don't see how it's pathetic to be afraid about the fact that my life and the way people will treat me is now changed forever. I believe most rational people would feel exactly this. I agree that it's caused anhedonia/depression to come out of me in a way I never thought imaginable though. But it really is less of a 'gee this sucks' and more of just a neutral state of existing, and nothingness. Just doing the things I do, just because I still don't know how to open to my family about it all. Healthy things like going to the gym, taking the time to clean shit and doing things I really have no point in doing anyway like attending my classes, though I stopped a few weeks ago.

Dude no. He's never had to tell me because I can clearly see it. I know he's done those things because I'm literally his son LOL. I'm sorry about your dad, but my dad was a wagie, and even now still has a wagie mindset of working hard, so that you can provide or have money to retire and THEN really enjoy life. We've even openly discussed how bad his job was and how he'd have to be work a long time until he could retire.

Bio-mom's gone, so it's really just my dad that I care about, along with some uncles/cousins/step-siblings/step-mom.

To be honest with you, I have fantastic relationships with all of them, but there's only some people that I REALLY want to share it with, and that's my dad, my uncles, and my gf. Of course I want to give something to all of my good relatives, but it's these core members that I have complete full faith in based off of how they've treated me all my life and how I've seen them act towards others. However I don't know if they would come to the same feelings of dread and burden about it all like I have. That's the ramifications that scare me of it all.

Yep I know it sounds ridiculous but I am feel rational about it. I was redpilled in highschool and thought it was the answer to life, the guide to be a man, but saw that a majority of 'redpilled' men are deluded with insane takes I've spewed over and over from other 'redpilled/alpha' men. I am not going ludcriously overboard with what I help her with. She is an incredibly hardworking person, and comes from a family with incredible values and her nature has been what I appreciated and valued from her more than anything else. I am aware that she could still at any minute start turn into a golddigging whore once she finds out. But throughout our four year relationship, we've had incredibly real, lucid and intimate talks about the nature of life, and have been through quite a lot together. She still feels she needs to be working, and wants to get a Master's. I guess trusting her is the risk I'll have to take. I'll be ok

Think of a flyover state, then think of the shittiest most boring flat city in whatever flyover state you're thinking of. The land I inherited is near a city like that. I first drove when I was 12 in that area, because it's just a straight, two-way road with nothing but gas stations in between, and then incredibly small cities. The area is filled with people coming from tight-knit generations of families, that have known nothing but drug/alcohol abuse from the boring nature of their lives, and the only ones that ever make something of themselves are either involved in the corrupt tribal council or have left the state to move somewhere else like Texas.

The point of the business idea is to keep (You) busy. Your uncle had no purpose in life and so he wallowed in despair. If you're building and running a business, don't go with the idea that you'll set it up and let the money flow and walk away.

Also focus on thinking of a business as a system that generates revenue. Find something you're interested (and start small) and figure out a system that profits off of it. Ideally it should be providing some kind of value to your community.

This is why I feel you and other people do not get it. I can't just all of sudden tell my core family I'm buying them incredible houses in great areas, and I'm gonna take them around the world, and their bills are fine for the rest of their lives all of a sudden. Yes I CAN financially do it, but then the distant family members start to notice. It's great I helped out Uncle John, the one who's always lived near me and I've always been able to help out with, but what about Aunt Jane in California? She had breast cancer? And now if I'm not helping them, then my other relatives will be the ones possibly hounded and their lives change and now they will experience what I have been feeling. And I don't know if they can/will navigate it in a healthy optimal way, so that their life as a whole is good.

Because there is a a part of me that does care about the fanciful idea of charity and donating to good causes, and I have while I was a wagie and want to do more, but ultimately at the end of the day it's my family that's important, and I'm not going to do the other charitable stuff until I'm able to figure out the family part. And the reason I'm trying to figure out the family part, is because I want to start exploring with these resources I have access to now and the best way I can. I just have to figure the family part out first.

Honestly, I feel you should either look for part time jobs at school or take time off from school and look for jobs if you don't have something you're genuinely interested in learning at college.

I don't have life changing money in my bank account, but I do sympathize a bit as I lost a lot of motivation due to investing in crypto and I know I'm set for life. However, what keeps me going now is that I have a genuine passion in learning the development side of what I invested in and want to build a company that uses the technology of smart contracts. It took me a decade out of college and fumbling through jobs (and getting lucky with a family friend scoring me the job that gave me a big enough salary (<$30K take home on my highest year) to invest in crypto.

You need exposure to find some kind of purpose. I really don't think you should spend any more money than you need to else you'll fall into the same trap as your uncle of acquiring things you don't believe you deserve.

>Go bang hot russian supermodels and drive fast cars

Have you never questioned your understanding of what it means to be free? Do you think what you define as freedom is true for all people? Driving fast cars does sound fun, but banging hot russian supermodels sounds so hollow. The older I get the more I realize that at the end of it all, what really matters most, at least to me and to a lot of people, is the relationships and connections you have and share. When you have good relationships with people, it makes all the other bullshit that life forces you to deal with (bills, making money, getting a good job) worth it. All of that bullshit is gone now, and I can help my other members get rid of that bullshit too, but that bullshit, while still bullshit, is literally the basis of their reality. Some gave their soul away to make it through tradeschool or college. Some had kids young like morons, so they had to make ends meet with shitty jobs all their lives, and some have been stuck in shit jobs, and some have grinded and rised a bit above.

Either way they all are good people that deserve this break I can give them, and I have absolute confidence in some of them, but I just don't know how they'll handle it. If I just pop up and yoink away their problems from them by giving them money/nice homes, then what? Will they ask for more eventually? Will their own friends and network of people start asking them for help? Will they all indirectly be burdened with the same burden I feel now? That's why I am stagnant right now. I don't want fuck them all by mistake.

And I mention looking for jobs at school because it waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay easier to find jobs when you're within a system and can speak to people directly as opposed to trying to apply from outside. In addition, you could also volunteer until an opening pops up.

For instance, I've been applying for a couple years and got nothing but rejection letters. I did go to a conference and got job opportunities but fumbled on them due to insecurities. But when I went back to my old alma mata, just within a few hours of talking to old professors, I got a contract to work on some mobile app and we're expecting a budget of $10K to work with my buddies. And I'm also planning to teach a workshop on blockchain tech.

So it suffice to say to nestle yourself in a system that provides you with a network of people to work with.

There is no proof I can give that will satisfy people and I really don't care to go through the effort. You are just words on a screen to me, and I am just words on a screen to you. So it's meaningless to me to prove anything to you, and most people wouldn't believe it anyway, so you might as well suspend your disbelief and go along with it. Either way, to what you said, the thing is is that maybe I want to give those great gifts to Uncle John and have him experience fun things, but if he's close to Aunt Jane in California, what is he going to say now? When Aunt Jane calls Uncle John to commiserate about work, what is he supposed to do when he can say 'i'm absolutely fine and i have access to everything i need!'

Enjoy life to the fullest with realistic views of moderation. Improve your body and mind. Hide your money in general.

Go back to school and learn whatever suits your passion. Attend some "soft" courses reserved for teacher or nurses or women in general and either enjoy your youth by banging away at em all, or find an innocent one and marry her and dont share a hint of your money until you have kids together.

Live in a shitty apartment or house in a beautiful location and once she has your kids, upgrade to a house on the lake or on the ocean in a white neighborhood.

I already HAVE begun to help others, I've done random acts like pay people's groceries, donated to dumbass indie game development projects, etc. I want to be able to freely and openly do those things more, and connect with people like that, but I can't openly be like that until I get my family right first, because getting my family right is literally what the dream of what most people want to do.

You are the retard that cannot understand that my retard family is important to me, and obviously having money is a great thing, but you are retarded to not understand that suddenly having a ludicrous amount of money pop up does not come with terrible downsides, and that I am trying to make it so that they transition their lives from wagie NPCs to comfortable ones as optimally as possible.

yes, well....my previous work dealt with prenups for clients and well girls basically view prenups as "you're already planning to divorce me" plan. there is no easy way to have the conversation.
HOWEVER definitely talk to a lawyer because there can be ways to structure it so she legally never has access to the bulk of the money.
For example you put it all in a trust with you as beneficiary prior to marriage so it doesn't become community property post marriage.....however the CP things is fucking mess and many locales have very broad laws where if you were bf/gf for so many years your assets are already co-mingled, so in theory she could already have a claim!

Having said all that my recommendation for strategy on how to approach the subject is to frame this as "family money"....."money my uncle intended for me and the family"....that is make it clear you want to allow her access to some of it via prenup but the reason why you are even talking about a prenup is because its really all for your family that existed way before you and her met.....this will soften the blow and hopefully put her in a state to not get triggered.

See >>56692547 as to how. Me and my dad's only connection to his side of my dad's family has always been through my uncle.

I've also said that it doesn't matter if you believe if it's true or not. If I proved it by showing statements, people will say it's fake, people will believe it and give advice, and a lot of people will ask for handouts and dillute the advice I'm looking for. If I prove it further by going through incredible lengths to prove my wealth is unquestionably true, it won't matter, because ultimately people won't believe it, will ask for hand outs etc. etc. So it doesn't matter to me if you believe it. If you believe I'm larping, then to you, I should be an insane loser, and everyone ITT is wasting their time, and you should spend your time doing something that feels productive to you. Unless this thread somehow entertains you for the moment.

Assuming this is real. It's time to really do what you want to do in life. Find financial advice and help with money management that's professional and well respected. If you adopt consumptive patterns, you'll just want to blow your money on dumb shit, vanity items, etc.; make sure that at least the better part of your money is managed and that you reduce your tax burdens.

From there, just think on what you can make freed of the commitments to a salaried job that way your hours. What interests you? Painting? Music? Literature? You can now pursue those things without the stresses of fucking up stopping you from doing those things. You could also start a small business and turn your skills or hobbies into a real profession, and even if it doesn't work out, you have float to work with instead of freaking out about things.

OP your real issue here is lack of purpose now that you have all this money right?

I can't tell what you should do but I can tell you I'd kill to be in your situation and what I'd do, and maybe that'll give you some ideas.

First off I'd travel, the world is big and varied, I'd want to see new places, discover various cultures, eat different foods, etc. This is an easy thing I'd look at like going on a ride with potential to be eye opening as your world view is bound to change at least a bit. No need to do one massive trip in a go, you can spread it out too.

Then I'd focus on what I love. What do you like spending your time doing? What is something that gets you excited, would make you get up early easily because you can't wait to experience / do / something?

For me personally I love storytelling, games, movies, anime, etc.

I have been learning game dev on the side but it's extremely difficult and time consuming so if I was in the your position I could dedicate myself fully to it and employ people to help me.

There has to be something you care about in life, something that gets you excited. Tech, nature, animals, food, entertainment, music...?

Once you find something (or a few things), really drill down and try to understand what exactly you like about them. If you like video games, what kind do you like? Story focused? Multiplayer? Why? Find the pattern, the common things that appear. Drill down until you get to a point you'll figure out the core of what you like, and that will give you direction to explore activities that should lead you on the right path.

You are free to pursue anything, you can just freely explore and "follow your bliss". Truly blessed to be in such position while still being young. Good luck

I would say the lack of purpose is half, and the other half is figuring out how to 'free' the family I care about without fundamentally changing them, or exposing bad parts of them etc.

The longer I think on about it, it really is the idea that, even though I could do everything right in terms of setting them up/supporting them, ultimately they could become as fucked as my uncle was, and I've gone back and forth for months on the logistics of what it means to tell my core family that suddenly I can pay for their shit now and they can do and buy the cool shit they normally spend months planning on.

Because ideally THEY end up as regular well-adapted people, responsible with the wealth, seeing it as a gift etc. I still don't know what to do myself at the end of it. They still have a purpose past the wealth. Is my purpose in it just facilitating other people happiness? It makes me feel good in the moment to do those kind of things, but at the end of the day when I'm in bed, all I think about is how stupid it all is. Stupid in the sense that I'm only in this position because a drug addict died and gave me land. And it's just weird/hard to accept that sometimes that really is just how it is

I forgot to mention that I agree with you about what you said about finding that purpose. I have researched into some of the things I was into as a kid and enjoy, it's just I don't feel I can fully use the resources I have access to to dive myself into things, because there's family right now that I know have bills stressing them, and I can't feel ok 'going on my journey' when I know they can't do that. I also feel maybe taking away that financial burden for them would in a way stagnate them.

Eventually I will figure it out and move forward. I've just been gone back and forth about it because Idk for a while before this happened it felt like I had finally come to accept that I was just going to be a normie, prepared to grind hard and begin my career and develop myself and be a 'contributing member of society', in the kind of silly way society deems people contributors.

And I know a lot of the ppl who've said it's easy, and to 'just tell them! just help them out on essential bills! just do this! it's easy! just do that!', a lot of the people saying that shit don't really get it. The nuances of my family dynamic mean nothing. I am not an emotionless, money-focused person. I only did the things I did because it was a means to an ends, and I've had anons say 'wooow you never had it in you to begin with!' and it makes me laugh because I know nearly everyone would say they had all these big charitable fanciful ideas, but end up not doing much of significance at all with it

>how to help family
You probably should look into setting up a trust for family / relatives.
Something like put 20% of proceeds of land into Family Trust and you come up with a plan and hire a trust administrator.
Yes you will pay $1000 per month (or whatever) to have a trust admin but it will massively lower your mental burden. Trust normally have rules which may go something like this: (a) must be over 35 to receive monies, (b) Monthly dividend can not be over X% of Trust Net Value, (c) Beneficiaries can file for emergency loans above what is outlined in "B" however it is decided on following criteria to discretion of trust admin....blah blah
Point on this is now all relatives deal with the trust administrator and not you....so you can just be "normal anon" and not have to play dual roles of telling a relative "no i'm not giving $8000 to pay your gambling debt" etc. That becomes trust admins job.....
For the rest of the money putting some in a trust with you as sole beneficiary may also be wise (possible to escape community property this way, talk to lawyer).
For last bit of money (final 20%) please research "Community Foundations"...this is a big topic and hard to write in mongolian basket forum, but effectively its whats known as Donor Advised Funds where you can donate a chunk of money and it is held in a specific entity known as a community foundation, then you are allowed to direct where that money goes over time....sometimes CF's are called "rent-a-foundation" and basically they offer you all the benefits of having your own private foundation with none of the admin work.

Congrats OP, you get to learn the hard and fast way about how having money is actually a massive pain in the ass. There are steps you can take to greatly reduce the burden however. How to secure your wealth and find meaning, abstract:

Secure Wealth
1) The more people who know, the more people that will stalk you as a prey. STFU is your first line of defense, ideally forever but if you must blab, at least wait until step 3 is completed.
2) Get ready to do a bunch of tedious ass managerial work. Learn how to use excel, especially. Study fundamentals of cybersecurity to understand how to keep your shit on lock. Create a monitoring+security protocol for all your accounts to greatly reduce the risk of getting FUCKED. You are a target now, and the more people who know, the greater the attack surface. So you literally must become your own security officer.
3) Create a trust. If you are pushing 8 figures, ideally 2-3 trusts with separate estate attorneys. Put most of the money/rights (80-90%) in them. At least one of the attorneys should be able to do your taxes. Literally just spill the beans to them about how you feel and how you want to set your family up without "cursing" them. And for how much money you will "make" from income. They will be familiar with this problem and be able to help you create a reasonable solution. Once this is done, do NOT feel like you owe anyone jack shit. This solves the "I owe people money because I don't deserve it" problem. And also covers your ass from a liability perspective, which goes into security. You are still a target, but now you are a fortified, hardened target.
4) Diversify your investments. This is the simplest step. The oil rights will deplete over time.

>> No.56704904

Find Meaning
1) You've got money. Money is a powerful tool when utilized properly. But much more easily squandered on half-hearted commitments. Find something you can put money AND time toward, that you are passionate about. There is no rush to do anything after the "secure wealth" steps are complete. Make a plan that has a reasonable chance of success, then execute.
2) You need a routine, even if just for 1-2 hours a day. I suggest exercise. It buffs every aspect of your physical and mental health. And it's something that can remove you from the "money solves this" dilemma. There are many things in life that only your grit and determination can solve that money can't, exercise is one of them. Learn to enjoy the process of overcoming suffering.
3) I've seen some anon mention stoic and existentialist philosophers. You should read this stuff. It's all written from a metacognitive perspective (i.e. above the mundane nature of everyday life). You have been forced into a metacognitive position and are struggling to find grounding. You are on a search for meaning beyond the mundane. These philosophers will not give you answers, but they can help you find the path. Also ancient hindu/buddhist writings are worth looking into, like the Vedas. Nietzsche's "Thus Spake Zarathustra" is the endgame of philosophy IMO. But best tackled only after reading many of his other works and the work of philosophers before him.
4) An idea: you said your uncle and your family (and indeed many natives on reserves) have struggled with addiction. That's a big, hard problem to solve. Fixing it, even a little, would have an outsized impact on those people's lives, their family and society as a whole. What if you could make a difference? Would you be proud, your family, your uncle? I think so. But it's much more than just throwing money at something. To truly help people overcome addiction the most effective way possible will require a considerable amount of effort in research on your part.

After performing "Secure Wealth" you are free to travel and do whatever the fuck you want in the process of discovering the new self you seek to become. No longer shall you trap yourself in the paralyzed womb of ill-founded guilt. The envy of your immediate family should not concern you when the walls of the trusts are set in stone. If you are true to yourself, to the discovery and fulfillment of what your mission must be, you will come to understand that the envious are but villains in your fable.

Nice thread OP. You are right to be careful about distributing money to family and friends, especially when you've inherited that money. Many would have no reservations about asking you for money and if you deny their request then they will be even more bitter because of how you acquired that money in the first place which would be a constant source or resentment. The very thing you would hope could bring a family together can end up moving them apart.

Often times you just can't help somebody, even if you paid off somebody's mortgage they would just find a new hole to dig for themselves. Whatever you do, I would consider you move very very slowly and sit on any big decisions for at least 3 months.

I've worked and lived around very wealthy people my entire life and very few are normal and well adjusted people with a sense of purpose.

I would also strongly recommend you pursue a spiritual path and pray for a closer relationship with God, everyday. Make a prayer request everyday for God to increase your faith in the divine and show you your path of purpose and fulfillment.

Then hire your close family, give them simple jobs and easy working hours. Simple as that. Since you don't have to worry about your profit, you can offer good services/goods at affordable prices. People will thank you for that, enjoy life, meet people, get a pet, be kind.

read a lot of this thread, and OP if you're still reading, my 2 cents if it hasn't been said:

use that money to sorta forcefully end your family's addiction issues. like maybe there's a rehab dude that can move in with your family, and he's the only one who can give the green light on when the senpai can start recieving money. really and while you're paying people to live with your senpai, pay a spiritual guru or something like that to help you, and sometimes your family.
like bro, you could literally pay a team of experts in every aspect of life to give you and your family a life changing education, then when each expert gives you the green light, money flows.

just think of your money as energy, give it to the right machines, whether they be people or things, and you can accomplish just about anything. just start with step one brother, and take baby steps from there.

> I hope to go to a financial advisor and make a lifelong business relationship with them/

Please, don't!!! Or before you do, please watch the PBS documentary "Retirement Gamble" to learn the redpill about financial advisors and their pitfalls. Read Jack Bogle (founder of Vanguard) book "The Little Book Of Common Sense Investing". Truly the only investment book you need. And, if you still choose to go to an advisor, at the very least you will be EDUCATED enough to sniff out the scammers. The real secret is - no financial advisor knows ANYTHING. Hedge funds blow up their accounts all the time, playing with OTHER PEOPLE'S money. Moreover, when you get a windfall, you're supposed to continue life as you did before for 1 year until it sinks in. Otherwise you will go down a bad path.

tl;dr SPY and chill. Or dividends and chill.

And if anyone wants to talk to me about these things or forming a business network for Gen Y and Z males (I don't ask for gibs) then please contact me.

Think over what everyone said and really take some time for yourself to sort through your feelings. Money gives you options but you have to think about what is good for you in the long term. I would suggest taking a week off and just jot down what you plan to do and how to go about doing them and seeing how it works. You have to live with your decisions so make the best choices you can think of.

if i knew you i would "loan" 1mil from you, put it in index and you could keep the "keys" on it until it would pay my 1 mil loan back i.e. generate another mil, and then you just hand me my 1 mil flat. but i don't know you. and nobody would ever be ready for this

OP, don't assume you are set for life. The average oil well in Texas produces for about 17 years. How many years has it already been producing? There is a good chance that may not be producing in 10 years, so act accordingly.
