<prompt> Human: Hi, Reddit!I started a business with some friends a few years ago. Someones about to buy it for 20m and Ill get about 5m of that.Ive never had much money and dont consider myself hugely financially savvy. What should I do to get myself organized so I make good use of the windfall?Some context:1. Ive paid myself about 50kyear for the last 3 years. 2. I have about 15k in savings and save about 500month.3. I rent a studio apartment and own a modest, reliable car. I own some clothes and a nice laptop, too. And thats about it.Ive talked to a tax attorney to make sure Im clear on how much Uncle Sam is going to take.Ive heard that I should plan to make no big lifestyle changes during year 1.Im looking into talking to wealth management firms, but I dont think I have quite enough money for those folks to take an interest.What else?Update: Thanks for the help everyone. The one big action item was to accelerate my search for a personal lawyer and to formalize things with the tax lawyer Ive been talking to. No big lifestyle changes for me! Also, the advice about being discrete is well taken.  <response>: There is only one financial advisor you could see, a professional from Vanguard, which they will offer for free seing how much money you might be depositing. They will evaluate your risk profile and give you the best, low cost options available.In the end it might look something like this:1. VTSAX - 50 - As incomegrowth2. VGSLX - 25 - a REIT fund for some income hedge against inflation3. VBTLX - 20 - a Bond fund for income hedge against deflation and to smooth out the ride4. 5 cash - Maybe a bit too much in your case.Point is that this will provide you with enough income to sustain your lifestyle indefinitely. The 2 yield on your stock portfolio is 50K, your current salary, but the bond and fund investments will provide you with even more income, most likely around 100K total. If you want, then you can live off these gains, but make sure to never exceed them, and you will leave a legacy behind. You have enough money to make a mark in the world.
