<prompt> Human: Ive been mostly living in around-poverty, sharing a house with a couple other housemates for 600ish mo, trying very hard not to buy good clothes or anything which I dont need and I just found that out.What Id personally like is to improve at least some of my livingeating standards, but rest, I dont know! Im kinda scared of having so much money and I dont want to just waste it. Help?Edit : I do not have a job, atm, just around 4000 saved from previous jobsother things.  <response>: Im a 17-year-old boy who sold my very first start-up last November for 1.6 million after the money was split up and all the factors included, I had roughly 1 million left. Im younger than you and I didnt hire a financial advisor, but these were the stuff that I did and didnt do and hopefully youll find it helpful. Ill split the list into DOs and DONTs.DO Keep the information to yourself. No one outside of your family really needs to know about your windfall. Donate however much or little to charity or a cause that you believe in. Trust me, even donating 1 of your wealth will make a significant difference - and donating will make you feel way better about yourself, more than if say you spent it buying your favorite computer or something. Keep a large portion of your money for the rainy days. Preferably up to 45 of the money you just got should be stored away, untouched in case of an emergency. Live your life normally. Dont deviate from the days when you didnt have that money. If you never drank before you got the money, then dont do it now. If you never smoked, then dont do it now. If you do pick up a bad habit now, your money will serve as a catalyst for you to squander it.DONTS Once again, DO NOT tell anyone other than your family and people youre related to by blood. Money can change people, even best friends. Think about that money. Sounds weird, but dont. Live your life as if you dont have that money but know that if you ever need to invest in yourself to further your opportunities or education, you can. Keep it out of your mind unless you know that youre going to benefit in the future from spending that money. Think that youre a millionaire. You are now, but dont think about it. Doing so will boost your ego way above the roof and in turn, hinder your capabilities rather than enhance it.Thats my two cents an I hope life goes well for you from hereon.
