    Probably pay off the condo. Maybe do some upgrades.

    Travel with my wife somewhere for a 2 week long vacation.

    Throw the rest in savings.

        I mean, I won’t have much leftover after paying off my condo. I live in a very expensive city.

        Plus, you never know what you need money for down the line. Maybe my heating will need replacement. Maybe I lose my job. Maybe a family member will need professional care, like a home attendant. Or maybe I’ll take another vacation next year. Who knows.

        $500K is not a crazy amount of money. It’s certainly enough to dramatically improve my life. But not enough for me to stop working, or buy stupid things - or anything like that
