What Do You Do With Large Amounts Of Money? - eviltoast

    New roof, solar panels, battery, EV, remodel part of the house, new siding, buy a small house in my neighborhood to function as a guest house, take care of my parents, spend a couple months in Europe.

    Oh, you meant the rest of it. Government bonds are always good. You can also use more than one bank to expand the $250k limit (which applies per account type and bank). A trust, for example, is insured separately from your checking account.

    Past that, I couldn’t tell you. Your financial advisor would though, just make sure they have a “fiduciary duty” to serve your interests.
