So do you want a lump-sum payout or an annuity? There are pros and cons to both that can be best reviewed with a financial advisor or accountant. At this rate, it is advantageous to consult one. Also find a great attorney to clarify all legal aspects and changes.

Have fun with it. Being happy is a decision. Go for it and trust your gut. This is your life. You won’t be given time, you have to take it. Carpe diem.
