+18 @PraetorianHawke 10k per month, I don't quit my job. That 10k allows me to max out retirement investments (usa) and put at least 5k per month on my mortgage. Once the home is paid for in 5 years, that frees up another 3k per month. Now we're in the money.

+12 @bunnyswan Assuming a bank would let me use it for a mortgage I would start by buying a property, for between 500k-1m hoping the property would appreciate and that property prices would go up at least in line with Inflation I hope this would be a good start. I would max out my daughters child isa each year. Put a nice chunk in mine and my partners pension. Have a bit of fun travelling and buying some treats. Maybe I'd do something a bit more risky, buy some canal side land and set up a business with a revolution laundry, water, bins, Elsan, a small cafe or just a hot drinks machine and some seating. Or buy a building like an old pub and start a community space for music and the arts.
