I basically got rich overnight and it is not what I thought it would be

You have the opportunity to do what most cannot. Maybe find a problem with the world and go about helping to fix it. And not by throwing money at it, but your time. You'll never have to work a job you hate again and never will have to do anything you don't want to, but now it's about what effect you can make of yourself. Please take it carefully, and trust no one, there are so many people (including financial advisors) who will see you as a dumb teen to exploit out of their inheritance. As far as financial advice here's this. You have enough money that you don't even have to mess with the stock market. That's right, screw anyone saying "hurr invest in etf and index eeee" because in a recesst those still go down. What you'd want to park a good portion of your money into is federal bonds. Sure the rate isnt the best but it is quite literally the safest investment. the only way you'd lose money is if the capitol was burning and I'd that happens you'll have more to worry about. If the property he let you is too fancy for you you could just rent it and live in a cheaper spot. Also NEVER TELL ANYONE YOU HAVE MONEY. You're going to want a prenup regardless of whoever the person is you wanna marry if that. Keep it safe keep it hidden, and do some good for the world man, best of luck
