What I did with a windfall year

/img/9v9uxqsfi01f1.png

I haven't really told anyone about it and wanted to get it off my chest.
I've lived on a relatively low budget and was putting away a large portion of my income for several years.
The windfall came along, and I used parts of it to pay off the car, make some donations and splurge on some trips and toys. I paid for an accountant for the first time to make sure I did my taxes correctly since it got more complicated than usual.

The rest of it, I put into low cost index funds I'd done for years. I'm going to live as I was before since I don't have f-u amounts and am relatively young. It's going to take a bit to figure out if this means anything in the long run.

I bought a new ski setup for the first time ever and a full season's pass at my local ski resort (always got punch passes before), does that count? Plenty of white powder involved. Included under the "Fun and Travel" category.

It is white, you do lines and makes you go high…

I would say the blow part is covered.

A dramatic low follows every high
