Not really. Sales people make on average 60k a year and most of that would go into a car and house.

LMFAO at parking $400k in your bank account and leaving it there

Invest it you chit kunt, earn an income from it

For me? $400k is one year of not having to work. Who cares?

Rn put it into Bitcoin wait till trump wins. If he loses just wait a few years and you'll have millions. If he wins expect a 10x within 2 years.

If you do your due diligence and invest it/used it absolutely perfectly like you had AI level skill and a copy of the future almanac like Back to the Future; the net result should be a god damn peace of mind that should help you enjoy the people you already have and the things you already take for grant doing math gymnastics that pay day will hit with exactly with enough time for you electricity not to be cut off like that final notice you been ignoring says. So it depends what lifechanging scale we comparing to. Because you'll be slaving at whatever job you been good at, so your daily routine shouldn't change at all, if anything's adds financial tasks to be checking. But the moments in your routine you wish you had time for....now... yea you still don't have more time for them but you get to appreciate and enjoy those minutes without the load of your back of in pending final doom next time you have to cut into your budget for some random **** like flat a tire.

And that is with all mentioned requirements. Now:

The question was if it were life changing money for you. It'd just end up in an investment account. Doesn't change a thing other than a retirement timeline which is amendable.

Prob spend 10-20k doing stupid ****, then throw the remainder with the rest of my investments. Would def help with financial security, but not life changing.

Honestly an interesting question.

For those with over 2 million it doesn't do much. Just speeds up their retirement window a couple years.
52% of American's have a net worth of less than 30k... I don't think it would change anything for these people either. A couple good years and back to poverty.

The biggest beneficiaries would be in their Late 20's -50's with the fundamental's already in place.

It would be huge for me. Being able to retire in 15-20 years instead of 28-30 would be nice.

net worth under $30k and $400k only gets them a few good years? that would be some serious spending...probably spending ~$240k+ per year if they continue with being employed

Learning to live on less than you make is a muscle that needs to be trained. I know people that make 35k a year and save 10k a year and people that make 200k that live pay check to paycheck. My mom got a 300k divorce settlement and blew through it in 3 years (this was 20 years ago so essentially 200k per year in todays dollars). Most lotto winners go broke within a few years. Most professional athletes are broke a few years after their career ends.

When households with no financial fluency are given a good lump sum of money you end up with: Paid off credit cards, 2 new cars, an expensive ring, a few nice vacations, designer clothes, and a down payment on a 700k house. Woman stops working.

5 years later the cars are worth <50% of their purchase price, but then they see something new trade them in to get new cars only getting 40% of the purchase price. Getting new monthly payments on 2 new 80k vehicles. A bone is broken, appliance breaks, dog gets hit by car... gets put on a credit card. All of a sudden the 3.5k a month mortgage payment that was doable while debt free on 75k a year is no longer possible. More credit card purchases. Things are even tighter. Woman refuses to go back to work. Divorce... Game over.
