Burn everything you have and build a new life in a new place with your money.

The reason can be found in a story of The Psychology of optimal experience by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.

"The Shuswap region was and is considered by the Indian people to be a rich place: rich in salmon and game, rich in below-ground food resources such as tubers and roots—a plentiful land.

In this region, the people would live in permanent village sites and exploit the environs for needed resources.
They had elaborate technologies for very effectively using the resources of the environment, and perceived their lives as being good and rich.

Yet, the elders said, at times the world became too predictable and the challenge began to go out of life.
Without challenge, life had no meaning.

So the elders, in their wisdom, would decide that the entire village should move, those moves occurring every 25 to 30 years.
The entire population would move to a different part of the Shuswap land and there, they found challenge.

There were new streams to figure out, new game trails to learn, new areas where the balsamroot would be plentiful.
Now life would regain its meaning and be worth living. Everyone would feel rejuvenated and healthy. Incidentally, it also allowed exploited resources in one area to recover after years of harvesting."

If you wonder about what to do of your money, I guess you are starting to feel like those indians. Smile | :)
