<prompt> Human: Throwaway, for obvious reasons. Im currently in my thirties, with a good career with long term growth potential, no debt, sizable assets 500k cash, 500k other investments including stocks, 401k, etc., and large income 400kyr. I live in a very high cost of living area, and it doesnt make sense at all for me to buy property here rent is way less than purchasing. I have very limited time single dad, plus busy work schedule, and dont want to take on a big active investment.I have always been reasonably frugal - car paid off, I dont take on large debts, rent a very reasonable place, etc. Ive really got almost everything I could want - except a peaceful life right now. I dont think I have enough to actually retire at this point due to my age and my son. Not sure I would want to either, as I enjoy my job.I have no idea what to do, except stuff money away. Where should I put it? How can I avoid paying ridiculous amounts to the IRS on all this income?It feels like a windfall, but maybe one that will keep going on for awhile?  <response>: Get a fun, young girlfriend...money will go fast. Or find a trustworthy financial adviseraccountant and have them deal with it. You are in the realm of paying someone else to work for you, giving you more free time to live.
