So if I have a $750,000 cheque inbound, the first thing I'm doing is deleting my crypto accounts to make sure I don't invest them in SHIB. The next thing that I'd do is call up my financial advisor (we trying to be smart about this here - $750K can buy a lot) and getting some tax issues settled about making donations to charities. I'd want to establish some scholarships/trusts for causes that are close to my heart with a portion of what I've earned.

Beyond that, I think I'm mostly looking to find somewhere permanent to live in the Chicago area. I'm super early in my career so it's important to start thinking about the future and get my roots planted properly. Beyond that, I think you can't go wrong with a nice car to drive around in. Nothing too flashy - but something reliable with a little bit of flare would be cool with me.... I'm thinking I'm gonna have to ask for a bigger contract after all of this.
