Hi there,
Actually I will say that I would live the same life that I am living with more comfort and less stress in the daily routine. For instance, I would keep the same job that I am doing (Consulting) but I will buy a more comfortable house and car in order to focus more on my actual job and perform better.
In this way you can show that you have carefully chosen your career and you are very motivated to apply for consulting or working there.

Hello!
On top of the insights already shared in the post, the "Integrated FIT guide for MBB" has been recently published in PrepLounge´s shop (https://www.preplounge.com/en/shop/tests-2/integrated-fit-guide-for-mbb-34), adressing topics precisely as your question.
It provides an end-to-end preparation for all three MBB interviews, tackling each firms particularities and combining key concepts review and a hands-on methodology. Following the book, the candidate will prepare his/her stories by practicing with over 50 real questions and leveraging special frameworks and worksheets that guide step-by-step, developed by the author and her experience as a Master in Management professor and coach. Finally, as further guidance, the guide encompasses over 20 examples from real candidates.

At first I would invite all people that I'm sharing memorise with through the last 3 years to celebrate my win. Afterwards I would start to reflect what I really wanna do with the money. Of course I would invest some of it to also keep the long run in mind.
I would need some more time to reflect. I think in my situation right now I wouldn't change anything dramatically because I want to focus on my career. I love what I'm doing so I wouldn't choose another option I guess.
