Leave LA for someplace with a far lower cost of living, invest the lump and cruise off of interest. Is the $6M before or after taxes?

A modest return of 6% on $6M would be $360k/annum.

I.e., don't get funky, just invest and live fine off the juice for the rest of your life.

Exactly. $360K a year is more than enough for two people to live in a comfortable manner in a non-urban environment.

Because they're getting half of the 1st place WSOP ME, it's $6M Gross (as mentioned in the subject line). Let's assume they will not be taxed twice on this amount, though I'm not sure how it will actually work out with them.

(me getting 2 chicks at once reference out of the way)

after taxes, this is like $3.5 in CA? or something like that?

I would start setting up interviews with trusted investment advisors. someone who can professionally manage my money. I don't know what the floor is for places like Goldman, Morgan Stanley, etc, but this may qualify you for a High Net Worth advisor at these places.

after figuring this out I would go on vacation, but my job at first would be to figure this out.

Don't forget the tax burden. They're looking at about $3.5M in after-tax money.

I agree. Fwiw, you can lock in 5.11% for the next 30 years with a US Treasury Bond.

I live in LA and am married. I'm bound to LA for the immediate future for family reasons. Figuring $3.5 - $4 million after taxes, I buy a nice house in the Oaks for cash, invest 3/4 of what's left, and keep the remainder ($100,000 or so) for fun money. Then it's back to work.

so this is the absolute bottom of what any investment should return. you should be able to get at least 7% or 8% with an acceptable degree of risk

average stock market return over the last 80 years is what, 10%?
