Being paid over time means you'll probably get 500k per year after taxes. You can easily live on 100k/year, even in Orange County or some place safe and ritzy, so reserve that for living costs, insurance and entertainment. Put another 100k/year into a bitchin' home and a bitchin' car. Save the remaining 300k that you get every year and divide it between retirement accounts, mutual funds and maybe a couple real estate investments.
Also, don't give shit to anybody.
The result is 40+ years of comfortable living. If any of your investments have paid off over time, then you get to live even longer in the lap of luxury.
