£550k - put it in the bank and snap up a few cheap houses after brexit so my kids can have somewhere half decent to live their lives for a few years before climate change ****s us over completely - such positivity 🤔

No on the house plan. Too many pretend business people at that game.

Do something with soul.

It's a tricky amount that... Too little to retire on, too much to not want to.

My house is already paid for (it was cheap), but still needs work doing on it, so I would use some for that. The rest, maybe invest in some extra land, or look around for another property that has more land. If there is decent internet, I can work remotely for a few years with minimal overhead and then think about retiring.

Or, I could invest 50k of it in a shit-tonne of tunnel time & jumping and compete in AAA by next season. Assuming DeLand is still there after Darian

I'd spend a few quid on buying a new keyboard, because yours appears to have failed and started typing random words about 3/4 way through your post. 😁

Buy new house to move into, tart up current one and let it. Add the income to my current pension. Oh and n+1 of course.

Probably invest enough in my sons future, make sure he has some under the mattress for a house/uni or whatever he wants to do (C&H?)

Retire super early, by some land in Thailand for a buddy so he an set up his business, help him build it whilst finishing my OU degree.

Max out all our premium bond accounts & invest the rest after getting the Mrs her Juliana.

To some extent, but only good, not exceptional. 9% is pretty achievable if you don’t mind a bit of work and a bit of risk.

Note that this advice always assumes your "bit of risk" comes good. If one person beats the average then another comes in under it.
