Always enjoy the intelligent comments of the forum.
Also not knowing your financial situation in life…
Give one third to your grown-up kids, put 1/3 in stocks and bonds, use the last 1/3 to get some really nice stuff you always wanted or go see places you’ve always wanted to see.
At 75 you’re a little bit past halfway to the finish line. 😇
