The duality of man (from What to Do After Winning the Lottery?)
The Archregimancy wrote:This is not in fact an abstract question, as I recently won a significant sum - tax-free - on a television game show (please don't ask; I'm not allowed to share the details until the episode is broadcast, and I don't have a broadcast date yet; I also won't be paid until broadcast).

We decided to break the money down into three pots:

1) Just under 50% towards the mortgage (though paying across time rather than in a lump sum, to avoid early payment penalties).

2) Just under 25% towards home renovations (thereby increasing the value of our core asset; the house was also built in '63, and needs some love here and there).

3) A bit over 25% towards fun, including travel (business class, naturally), good wine, good food, and a few other things (but not hookers and cocaine; sorry, Ethel)

The production company has also provided us with a financial advisor as part of their duty of care, and we're discussing the practicalities of the best way of actioning the above so as to maximise interest and minimise tax obligations; the advisor was broadly positive about the plan itself, so it's just the implementation we're discussing.

And I suppose one of the awkward lessons of the above is... middle-aged middle-class people who win unexpected tidy sums of money are likely better-placed to manage the consequences of that windfall than people from disadvantaged socio-economic backgrounds.
