My Grandpa passed away recently rip. But before he died I was very close with him and would be the only one spending hours with him on weekends. I had NO idea he's rich or hell, that he'd give me any inheritance. Yesterday the attorney called me and told me he left me $6 mill...

Anyways lawyer the fuck up and shut the fuck up. First there might be taxes you have to get out of the way first. Gay, but that's part of the experience.
Take what you have left and invest half. Stocks, IRAs, bonds, whatever. Find the most jewish motherfucker to manage your assets and investments. Be friendly and they will take care of your money.
Put away enough money to live off of for two years.
Use half of remaining to pay off any debts and/or interest on those debts before they grow anymore. Fix your car/house or buy a new one. Get some new clothing.
And then at the very end if you have any money left, get yourself something nice.
Be the eternal grey man, a boring middle class suburban person. You are not rich. You have a normal amount of money in the bank. You drive a clean corolla and occasionally go out to eat. Stay quiet so no one tries to leech. This money does not exist outside of tax forms and your bank account.

Listen to this man >>51303443. If you really want to invest right now while everything is down, don't do anything material. You could invest $100k in mutual funds, like Vanguard, or something and just leave it to grow over time. That still leaves your inheritance safe until you learn how to properly use it. In the meantime you can watch what happens to that $100k over the next year or two and learn from it firsthand.

Feel free to take out a $70K yearly salary but no more than that. Stay in school, use of that salary to invest and live your life. In other words, don't blow it on expensive vacations and gaudy cars, you still have bills to pay. Start slowly and build your wealth up and only use your inheritance as an emergency.

Do note that you're living during the time of the next revolution of the internet and even better, you're a CS student. So start learning about web3 to see how you can find a job in blockchain development since it's the next generation of web development. And I'd recommend seeing if you can sign up for Chainlink's Smartcon Summit (I don't know if you can still get a free ticket to stream) otherwise you'll have to follow the topics on here.

nice op

the number one rule is dont lose it. learn about investing by reading and maybe put like 30k in account and make small plays for 500 at a time to learn the ropes. do this a year or two as learning experience.
you got so much money you could put some of it in dividend stocks and get big dividends from it. but the current market is very fragile so i dont think its a good time for it since stocks could lose a lot of value within a year or two.

id buy a house for 300k or something like that. be careful with investing if you addictive personality. also hide your wealth so you dont get gold diggers male or female around you. stay in school. you can do what you want in life now. some kind of schedule is healthy and seeing people daily.

The best investment advice i can give you (as you are in undergad) is to take linear algebra and then a stochastic systems class. This will change the way you think about investing / money I assure you (you are already in CS) so you clearly value the right kind of education.
Spend an extra year in undergrad having fun.. get a masters with the 5th year or something. or a double major in math.

Genuinely speaking every thread you see on this board about Link, you read it. It's simply the internet of blockchains. Every project that wants to be worth a damn has to use Chainlink in this space. And the reason why you want to follow Chainlink threads is because they generally have the higher levels of technical discussion that gets you up to speed with the problems going on in the blockchain industry and they're usually creating industry standard solutions.

If you're interested as a developer, one of the Chainlink developer Advocates created a kickass Freecoding camp video to get you up to speed in learning Solidity, the language people develop smartcontracts on ETH.

Sorry about your loss anon I'm glad you got to know your grandpa I never knew either since they died when I was young
This is what you do anon. This is my personal plan.
Buy 2 houses
1 in an expensive major city in your area (preferably near a college for rich white kids)
1 in an area you'd want to live with cheaper and bigger houses
Rent them both out while living in one of them so rent and bills are paid off
Put half of what's LEFTOVER in large stocks after you hear about mass suicides over crashes
Then put half of what's left over from that into seed money for a company
What left should be split in between precious metals, SHTF supplies, and enjoying life.
Maybe put some in USDC staking but remember with all this CEX rugging going on you might be better off staying the hell away from crypto until the bullrun starts again

thats a lot of money, you could essentially retire on that.

im about 2 years older than you

i'd probably put 800k into a house, another 800k into rental properties (you can buy a lot of property with 800k spread across a few rentals)

this is going to give you a few M in equity as you rent these places over the lifetime of the mortgage

congrats now you have a few mills to look forward in the future

take the other 4.5m, put 1-2 in low risk stock options. not a big trader but i'd go with something safe that pays dividends. you can cover basic living costs with the returns here.

now you have

a few million in properties
2M in safe stocks

take the other 2M and invest in a small business (restaurant, bar, convenient store whatever).

now you're generating enough cashflow from the rentals, business and portfolio to cover atleast 100k in yearly expenses

thats a lot of money to live off of. and you still have 2M to play with. i'd straight up buy some luxury shit with it but thats me. 2m goes a long way, do what you want with the leftover

First, speak to the lawyers and accountants. The government will probably take about a million from you, the first three million are tax free iirc and they take a third of the rest. Get that squared away so you don't get fucked.

Second, your family and friends are coming for your ass to get that money. It's hard to believe, but they will. Especially if he left it all to you and none to them, or much less to them. They will concoct some reason to resent you and cook up some logic that entitles them to your inheritance. They'll pull every dirty trick that they know. Don't let them do it to you.

Thirdly, a part of you will want to go nuts with the money. Take about 100,000 to go nuts with. Mark when you do on the calendar. Also mark on the same calendar when you blow through that 100,000. Congratulations. You just learned how quickly you can blow it all. Hope you had fun, and take it as a lesson.

Fourth, don't invest that shit in crypto. Crypto is speculation and speculation is gambling. Buy a decent house. When you think that the market is relatively normalish then buy a nice, diverse portfolio. Maybe invest in a few small businesses. Keep enough liquid that you could live a while without working in case your investments go down and your enterprises aren't doing well.

Best of luck to you OP. Remember, the old man wanted you to have it for a reason. He didn't give it to those other people, he left it to you.
