Do not trust anyone. Including your relationships and spouse.

Make three lists of items - things you will want for yourself rest of the life, things you need to live, and things you want to invest for the time after you. Examples for each list: a good house in a good place, a set of low risk investments that will give you 250k p.a. perpetually, invest in a durable enterprise that will outlast you.

Then go about living as if nothing had happened.

When it comes to investment, choose boring non-exclusivist models. Aka. avoid maddoxes.

Thanks, appreciate the advice. I’ve got initial allocations outlined for things like debt, expenses, runway, etc, most of which are straightforward. The biggest and riskiest allocation is for “investment” and the one I’m looking for advice on where to store for the time being until I’m ready emotionally and analytically.
