I recently won a settlement ($840K), and sat down to meet with a financial advisor last week to discuss the best ways to invest that money and make it last
Briefly

A Redditor, who received an $840,000 work settlement following a tragic accident, seeks advice on allocating his windfall. After consulting a financial advisor, he aims to buy a house and assist his parents financially. The advisor suggests limiting parental gifts to maximize investment potential for monthly income through mutual funds. Comments from the Reddit community caution against excessive generosity towards his parents, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding his future, especially given his disability. Overall, the advice underscores the need for careful financial planning.
The Redditor's financial advisor suggests that rather than giving too much to his parents from the $840k settlement, more should be invested to secure his future.
Commenters on the Reddit thread expressed concern about the obligation of the Redditor to financially support his parents, given the context of his accident and settlement.
