Agreed with the bogleheads suggestion. I’m a lawyer who does some consulting to people in similar situations, and the mistake that everyone makes is thinking that because it’s a lot of money somehow it has to be treated differently. This is just plain wrong.

Resist the urge to hire a fancy money manager or do anything different beyond a celebratory dinner with your family.

Don’t tell anyone beyond your wife and very trustworthy family about this. Otherwise,you will quickly have lots of “friends” and family members who “love” you.

Going forward with work is a personal decision. Obviously, you don’t need to. A tried-and-true conservative investment approach will pay you sufficient income for the rest of your life (and our kids through college, and everything else). But it’s tough to stop working. Anecdotally, I’m about half retired (on a lot less money) and it’s a big challenge.

I’m getting long winded. For now, resist the urge to do anything special, anything too different.
