Can anyone share anecdotes about sudden success of their business? Im 21 years old. Previously had made $25k a year at most. Just recieved $250k up front and a contract for $500k a year for 3 years. Im completely lost.

Check my post history for more details on my situation and my conundrum.

The gist of it is I have no fucking clue what to do.

I havent told anyone at all and dont know if I should. I live with parents and have literally zero expenses.

Im not sure if I should tell my parents and my gf. Im worried it would change the dynamics of my relationships especially with gf.

Ive been lying on my ass for the past week since I signed contract cause I dont know if this is real life and dont even know where to begin.

Has anyone been in a similar situation?

I was also offered a $125k salary with the contracter but I said no because I didnt really want to work my life away after such a large windfall. Now im seriously reconsidering. I could take that job and work on something im very familiar with (my app) or I could find another job up to around $200k a year fairly easily with my skillset. I should also add that after the 3 years is up it seems likely I will sign another contract, potentially for a lot more.

Id like any advice on finance, relationships (should I tell anyone), and what I should do career wise from here on out. Any advice or any anecdotes from people who have been in similar situations would be much appreciated.
