Supposing, for the sake of argument, that you were about to come into a sizeable amount of money you weren’t really expecting. Not an “independently wealthy” sum, mind you, but a “moderately significant changes in your life might be possible” sum which is a great deal more than you’ve ever had before…
Would you bank the money and carry on as usual, but with a fairly large safety net? Would you invest it in some major changes which might be geographic and educational in nature? Or would you just live it up like crazy?
I think I might be more inclined toward the first two options. But I’m just wondering…
