I got some hot cash several years ago unintentionally. After that, I set up 3 goals:
1. Maintain high quality life
2. Improve skills for my career
3. Meet more interesting friends
With these three goals, I did these:
1. Maintain high quality life
1.1. I bought myself a lot of insurance, both financial and life
1.2. One nice apartment
1.3. Put about 20% to some low risk fund
2. Improve skills for my career
2.1. Best keyboard, chairs and ... as a developer
2.2. Books
2.3. Donate some open source projects and make friends with contributors
3. Meet more interesting friends
3.1. Host regular meetups of great developers in China
3.2. Go to a nice gym as I find people who work out hard and keep self-discipline are normally class-a players
3.3. Get much more opportunities when focusing on what's next than what you're paid
