~~I feel like HackerNews has enough reasonably financially-literate people that we can do better for advice to someone than that

If you're going the Reddit route, at least link to /r/fatfire or /r/personalfinance

A competent business owner coming into a windfall this size is in a pretty good spot compared to your average rando off /r/askreddit~~

EDIT: Please disregard this comment, just left it here as a monument to my own jerkness

What advice would you give that’s different to that post?

Ah, sorry, that was actually good advice, haha.

I saw "AskReddit", quickly skimmed and saw something along the lines of "Every lottery winner gets murdered by family", and jumped to the conclusion that this was your typical /r/AntiWork-esque "Mediocrity is good" viral post.

I think all the advice he posted about setting up trusts, buying index funds and treasuries, etc would fit in great here, on /r/fatfire, MMM or anywhere else.
