<prompt> Human: Im about to receive a big lump sum payment 800k from the sale of some shares in a business I own. Ive already lined up a fee-only planner who will help me find the right investment advisors and put my money in safe places. The vast majority of it, Im going to put into investments and savings, but I also want to reward myself for the past 7 years of hard work. My current plan is to take ten percent to buy a car, a new couch, new glasses, and new clothes and probably do some travelling road trip in the new car, I think. Is there any kind of recommended or ideal amount to set aside? Is ten percent unreasonably high? I am selling about ten percent of my stake in the company, so I will still have significant equity left behind, and Ill be earning a decent salary too. The company is a venture-backed startup, though, so its hardly a sure thing although were doing quite well so far.  <response>: Have you looked into putting it all in investments and using the interest and dividends for your enjoyment?
