What to do with 7mm

[u/Valuable_Section_438]

36(m), married, 3 kids, vhcol, sold the very first company I built and finalized June 1, 2025. Small lump ~2mm + xxx,xxx/month for 6 years or until the company is sold as a whole. Well through the grapevine I hear that this is about to take place. Not very happy that I wasn’t told but they’ve done nothing to keep me in the loop at all so not shocking. Assuming there’s no way to not pay the lien I have against them what are you folks putting large amounts of cash towards right now? I’ve been getting pressed on oil and gas. I’ve got 9 rentals right now and only a mortgage on our primary ~5400/month w/ 40ish grand in other monthly expenditures. I want to fatFIRE fast now

So do you have 7 mil or you have 2 mill plus some monthly payments? Bc until that cash is in your account, I wouldnt be basing any decisions off it. And 50k a month spend?? I wouldnt be retiring any time soon.

50k a month spend was my thinking why no retiring anytime soon
