I come from the middle class and just made $3 million from my company that got sold - why am I so nervous?

In the case of one Redditor posting in r/fatFIRE, there is a question about what to do with a $3 million dollar windfall received after his company was sold. The Redditor's question primarily focuses on what to do with this money to calm their nerves, emphasizing trying not just to build the money but also earn enough to pass it down to his children.

This Redditor's big concern and the catalyst for his post is that the company he works for was sold, and as a result, he received approximately $3 million dollars after tax. Coming from a 'working-class background,' this is an incredible amount of money for him and his family.

He has paid off the family's home mortgage and gifted some money to friends, but the remaining funds, combined with his savings, still hovers close to $3 million. As a result, he wants to set up the best path forward financially, not just to grow the money but also to create a scenario in which he can leave his kids some cash.
