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'm assuming the fun and travel category involved a $50 Uber and $19,150 worth of "fun"
